The streets of San Francisco are used to weird smells. However, on Wednesday morning, a mysterious rotten-egg and sulfur-like odor that baffled city and federal agencies and prompted dozens of phone calls of complaint.

The calls initially came from the downtown area and then moved toward the Marina, Sunset and Richmond neighborhoods. SFist said complaints also poured in from Bayview, the Tenderloin, Nob Hill, the Marina, SoMa and the Mission.

Officials with SF Environment, San Francisco Public Works and the city’s Department of Emergency Management, as well as Recology, were reportedly notified, KQED reports.

I saw where there is an underwater volcano erupting off the coast, almost due west of SanFran and that that is the likely cause of the smell.

Dunno... Seems plausible.

Two days after a earthquake swarm in a new area due east of San Freasicko. I would suspect hydrogen sulfide venting as the magma rises in the major fault under the city.

When I visited Mt. Lassen in 1991, the first thing that hit me was the venting of large amounts of hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide from openings just below the roadway. Both gases are products of geothermal activity.

“Why Does San Francisco Smell Like Sulfur?”

That’s burning you smell...90% of San Frans inhabitants brains are burning from AD* or AIDS.....

AD = Advanced Degeneracy

Years ago we visited a town in New Zealand called Rotorua.It's well known for being volcanically active.There are bubbling pools everywhere and the entire town smelled like rotten eggs.Of course the entire country is volcanically active...Rotorua is particularly active.
