Recently an older upper middle class neighborhood in Dallas had a string of gas explosions. The gas company had to shut the gas off to several thousand homes and replace the old iron pipes.
I learned one very interesting about natural gas the perfume that gives gas it’s smell is absorbed by dirt and the gas becomes orderless. If it then seaps into a house it can’t be smelled by people.

Flies will congregate around an area where there is a leak. It also kills the grass.
I did not know that and I used to hook up and replace gas lines. Only at the units though as I was just an HVAC tech who also did maintenance.
