Did the veterinarian hospital with all its critters have to be evacuated?

So that's why all the delays as I passed through there, do any calls go out to residents when this kind of thing happens? I sure hope we have a plan in place so we don't have another San Bruno type incident, that's why I went through CERT training in case of any disaster.

No mention of tree roots being the cause of this gas line break. Or any other I've read about. Yet PG&E are still intent on cutting hundreds of them down just in case.
