Woman comes home to find her toilet struck oil while she was out

[Wonk]

Leila LeTourneau returned from work late Monday to find crude oil covering her home's floors and spilling from the toilets, bathtub and sinks.

Experts have told her the oil kind of "burped up."

Longview city crews and representatives from Basa Research, which owns some wells in the area, are trying to help find the source of the oil.

6. In los angeles some strangers own the mineral rights to all the land in

the general area.

On all the deeds I've ever looked at in this neighborhood, some people I've never heard of have the right to any oil found under my house.. or other houses.

All different names.

I believe they have to have my permission to get TO it though.. which would cut me in, supposedly.

Oddly, the Beverly Center has operating wells on the west side of the building.

And there are oil wells scattered through the city, discretely hidden from view.

7. I already got spam that mentioned this!

That is pretty amazing response time...
