“Why Does San Francisco Smell Like Sulfur?”

Because that’s what brimstone smells like. With that in mind it’s time for the good people to leave San Francisco and not look back as they leave.

Not sulfur. Sulfide. Big difference.

Not usually a good sign.
I’d get radon monitors in place ASAP
This can sometimes be a precursor of a shallow quake of sizable amplitude.
A jump in radon would validate it as a clear possibility.

Here in Colorado there are a few hot springs that smell like sulphur.

the strongest one I know is in a town called Hot Sulphur Springs. Wonderful spot to relax, once you get used to the sulphur smell

perhaps some new cracks have opened underground and you're smelling hot sulphur..If it is flowing underground, it could explain why the smell seems to be moving also
