[Kosik:] People in one southern California community have been forced from their homes because of a massive leak of methane gas.
[Blackwell:] And officials say it will be months before the leak can be stopped. CNN's Paul Vercammen has the latest for us this morning.
[Paul Vercammen, Cnn Correspondent:] The Katz family, a blended modern Brady Bunch with five children and dogs, lives in a temporary home.
[Christine Katz, Gas Leak Victim:] It's disgusting what's going on. I'm heartbroken. We had to leave our beautiful home.
[Vercammen:] They're 33 miles from the house they vacated in Porter Ranch, a Los Angeles suburb reeling from a massive methane gas leak.
[Brian Katz, Gas Leak Victim:] The smell can cause you to be nauseated. It can cause to give headaches, nose bleeds, which I have had, stomach problems.
[Vercammen:] Infrared video taken by environmental activists shows a noxious plume rising over Porter Ranch from the Aliso Canyon storage facility owned by Southern California Gas. The utility says the underground leak first detected in October may not be stopped until late March.
[Mike Mazrahi, Socal Gas Spokesman:] We're drilling a relief well. That relief well is going to go way down about 8,500 feet. It's going to intersect with the leaking well and then pump liquids and muds down there to stop the flow of gas, and then cement to permanently abandon the well.
[Vercammen:] While SoCal Gas drills is paying for residents of 2,200 Porter Ranch homes to stay in temporary housing, including Yates Dickel.
[Unidentified Male:] It's the slow moving tsunami of evacuees. People realize this is serious stuff.
[Vercammen:] The gas company asks more than 6,000 people are seeking financial aid. Many of them applying for help at a community center it established. Some government agencies are now taking extreme precautions. The FAA invoked a fly zone to 2,000 feet at a half mile around the leak site in response to fears gas fumes could be ignited by aircraft above. The L.A. Unified School District closed two schools below the leak and is transferring almost 1,900 students. That means two of the Katz boys will start at a new campus after winter break, and the family says two-year-old Ava has suffered the most. The Katz has claimed in one of the several lawsuits against SoCal gas, the leak resulted in upper respiratory symptoms that left Ava in intensive care for four days.
[C. Katz:] Even though we're so upset and saddened and stressed, trying to hold it together for them. You know, it's hard. We're a big family.
[Vercammen:] Just one family moved out by a gas leak disaster that might be unseen and is still months away from being undone. Paul Vercammen, CNN, Porter Ranch, California.
[Kosik:] I can't believe it's going to take until March to plug that leak. I feel bad for those people. Ugh.
[Blackwell:] Absolutely. Listen, we're going to take you to Massachusetts. A court there has ordered Bill Cosby's wife, Camille Cosby, to testify in a defamation suit brought against her husband. She will have to give that deposition.
[Kosik:] Also, we are remembering the daughter of Nat King Cole this morning, Natalie Cole, died after years of battling health issues.
