About a decade ago, Houston had a few "Beijing pollution" days, on which the reported pollution levels went from red (not typical but not uncommon) to maroon to black, which means "off scale." Believe me... healthy people get sick, and sick people get a lot sicker, when it's that bad. Houston has succeeded in cleaning up the air to some extent. But as you say, when the methane hits the atmosphere, it won't be long before Houston is history anyway.
