LANCASTER, Calif. (KABC) -- SoCalGas said natural gas prices reached "unprecedented levels" on the West Coast and warned customers that January bills will likely be "shockingly high." The utility company cited higher demand for natural gas due to below-normal frigid temperatures in areas like the Antelope Valley and beyond. Now, some residents in the high desert fear some people might freeze to death trying to save money on heating their homes. "The majority of people and family members that I have, they only put the heater on gas on for about 15 or 20 minutes in the night and in the morning for the children because they cannot pay the bill," said Lancaster resident Char Lavelle.
