It is pretty rare to lose gas. Being buried as it is. I recall speaking with a technician in my area about this. Wondered what happened if we lost a major compressor. He stated there was enough capacity between distribution and feeder lines to last three colder days and that there was multiple compressors that needed to fail for this to happen. Worst is a line break normal due to digging but that typically effects few people.
I can't think of a single instance where we last gas in my 50 years. Do recall days of no power. Mind you that is pretty rare now.
