Might have something to do with my neighbor who was going to move the dryer

the emergency gas tech that responded "it's a miracle you didn't blow
yourselves up." Fortunately the wife had the presence of mind to have
dialed "9 + 1" as he turned the wrench. It only took a second to dial the
last "1" and get emergency services. He had no idea where the shutoffs were
located, either. He figured not much gas would leak out by the time he
fitted the new flexible pipe. jeez The gas guys don't screw around,
either. They immediately shut off the gas at the meter right after they
rolled up and saw the panicked homeowners standing outside.

When I did heating and AC, I learned to use two
wrenches, so as to concentrate the torque in a
small area. Also good to know where is the gas
shut off, for moments like this. Glad the gas guys
arrived in time. Most fire department guys know
how to shut off natural gas.
