We'll be seeing an uptick in unusual home and business gas explosions and I'm trying to locate specific ZT on the matter. Below is a refresher for the many gas related news articles.

Fault lines, when adjusting, do not just rip apart one day during a dramatic earthquake. They most often creep. Laying gas lines along or across a fault line is asking for an accident of this sort. Fault lines are also seldom so clearly delineated that one can go a mile in this or that direction and avoid their action. Where a slip-slide fault such as the San Andreas will often leave a clear line on the surface, this is only the surface action, not what occurs in the rock layers on either side which can fracture for a long way to either side during any movement. The gas company, or the age of the pipes, will be faulted but in truth the finger should be pointed in many directions. The public, who insist on living at such a scenic spot, is to blame. Officials, who zoned for housing are to blame. The public utility company, for allowing gas lines in the area, is to blame. But this will change nothing, while man continues to live on the San Andreas, even as it awakens. EOZT

The danger from radon gas will not be increased as a result of the pole shift. Radon gas is emitted by rock containing uranium, which is degrading. In normal circumstances, where air can circulate, it is disbursed rapidly as is any methane created by decay of organic material. The danger from these gasses comes from confinement - being trapped in a mine, a basement, or beneath the permafrost. The dangers are well known. For methane, it is explosions. An accumulation of methane gas can be identified by the smell of rotten eggs, or as some have described it, dirty socks or cabbage soup. For radon gas the danger is lung cancer, from the continual exposure to the radioactive air. Radon gas is odorless, and cannot be detected except by specialized equipment not in the hands of the average person.
In that the pole shift, or the Earth changes preceding the pole shift, can fracture rock and release pockets of either gas, survivors should be cautious about huddling in bunkers. You are safer out in the open air, or in a trench you have dug that will allow the pole shift winds to pass over you, but nothing to fall on and crush you. The fact that both methane gas and radon gas can accumulate in the bunkers of the elite is one of the reasons we have stated that they have dug their own graves. EOZT

Anyone watching the news, for instance the news on the San Bruno explosion in a distribution line close to the San Andreas Fault line, knows that gas in any form is a danger. Oil and gas refineries explode when rigid piping cracks. Oil or gas wells explode when the ground around them moves. And the gas distribution lines running under cities are no exception. They likewise will explode. Gas lines, whether along the street or within a home, are rigid. In some cases automatic shutoff valves can limit the amount of gas available for an explosion by sensing a drop in pressure, but this is always after the fact. The explosion has already occurred. Utilizing gas on a planet prone to earthquakes was a mistake to begin with, but man never thinks of the consequences when striving for modern conveniences. We have advised turning off the gas at the street, though when the street explodes and your neighbor's homes are on fire you are not likely to escape the holocaust. A better alternative is to live in an area where gas is not available, as in your rural safe location where you will be doing a form of camping while gardening. A campfire at night, for cooking and washing and a bit of friendly light before bed. Nothing explosive. EOZT

SOZT Answer: It is no accident that the New Madrid fault lies under the Mississippi River near Memphis, as rivers form in lowlands created when land pulls apart, separating the rock fingers and weakening support for the land. Thus, the Ohio River bed also is an indication of where rock fingers will pull apart. Two adjustments in Kentucky, a day apart, are not an accident, but an indication of the speed at which the stretch zone is starting to adjust. Rail lines are frequently an early harbinger of such adjustments, as they run long distances, whereas structures within cities, such as tall buildings, take up relatively little space and have a small footprint. Our warning that imploding cities will be experienced, before the hour of the shift, are in this regard. Be warmed, it will not just be your rail lines and gas and water mains that will shatter and be pulled apart during the stretch. The foundations of your tall buildings will likewise be vulnerable.EOZT

Methane gas ignited Monday morning, March 24, causing extensive damage at Goshen’s wastewater treatment plant. Though glass was shattered
GOSHEN — A methane explosion at Goshen’s wastewater treatment plant early Monday morning, March 24, left extensive damage but did not affect operations.
City utility engineer Dustin Sailor said methane gas ignited around 5 a.m. in the sludge thickener building connected to the plant’s administrative offices. No one was injured.
“The damage is pretty extensive,” Sailor said. “When it ignited, it moved all four walls with the heaviest damaged to the west and north.”
Glass was broken, and plastic and controls were also damaged, Sailor added.
Sailor said the explosion was caused by methane that had built up in the thickener building.
The explosion happened before staff was on site. An alarm inside the building, located at 1000 Wilden Ave., alerted city officials. Plant superintendent Jim Kerezman said an operator discovered the damage and called the fire department.
“The fire department was here for a little while to make sure everything was OK,” Kerezman said.
The city’s insurance adjuster advised Sailor to begin collecting quotes for the damage.
“We’re still piecing it all together,” Sailor said.

The larger tank structure yielded, as a result of temperature. A fire two oil tanks triggered the "total destruction" of a treatment plant oil company YPF in Cerro Divisadero, 20 kilometers from the city of Mendoza Bardas Blancas in Malargüe, where the situation was "review ". The company confirmed that 14 people were referred for minor injuries at various health facilities in the area, but none had life-threatening. The incident began in Mendoza midday Friday in one of the tanks, for reasons discussed, which generated a plume several meters high that could be seen for miles. However, in the morning, and as a result of temperature, yielded tank walls affecting the whole plant, including other similar container. Since the company confirmed to DyN that structure the largest oil tank ceded as a result of temperature, which burned oil spilled all over the floor, and hit the other reservoir. They also reported that the work being performed aimed to contain the fire to prevent it from spreading to other facilities that the company has in place, and the adjacent fields. Last year, the company suffered a similar incident in the plant having in Ensenada, on the day of the tragic flooding in the city of La Plata, which halted production for a long time
"DELICATE SITUATION"
For his part, Minister of Land and Environment Mendoza, Guillermo Elizalde, said the situation is "delicate," but said it is controlled. The official confirmed that the fire started in one of the tanks that YPF has in the area of Cerro Divisadero, and spread to a second tank, after it took the whole plant, which was destroyed, said the official, speaking to TN.

Police told WBTV nobody was injured when a house exploded in Lancaster on Saturday morning on Cane Mill Road.
Five other homes were damaged in the blast according to the Lancaster Police Department.
Officials blocked off the area because firefighters were concerned about a second explosion.
The Lancaster Fire Marshal said there is no official cause of the blast but it was most likely a gas explosion.
Neighbors told WBTV the owners of the home left on Friday for a vacation in the mountains.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating.
16-Inch Natural Gas Pipeline Explodes Near Fremont Nebraska (Mar 14) A 60-foot wall of flame erupted Friday morning from a ruptured natural gas pipeline along a rural road northwest of Fremont.
An explosion shook houses and could be heard miles away, and the towering blaze that followed kept burning for much of the day, fueled by the contents of Northern Natural Gas' 16-inch pipeline.
“It sounded like a jet,” said Wayne Francis, who lives about 2 1/2 miles away.
After the blast, he drove to the intersection closest to the fire, Dodge County Roads 20 and O, and got out of his pickup.
"I could feel the heat," he said. "The fire was starting to burn in the corn stubble on the north side of the road. There was nothing else close that looked like it was going to burn.”
Four nearby homes were evacuated, but nothing was damaged and no one was injured, officials said.
As many as two additional explosions followed the first one, said Jerry Dillenburg, chief of the volunteer fire department in nearby Nickerson.
“I know for sure there was another explosion once we got out here, but it was in the same area. What caused it, I don’t know. It wasn’t big like the original one,” he said.
Workers from Omaha-based Northern Natural Gas closed off the section of pipe involved, but the remaining gas continued to burn into the afternoon. The company's nearby pipelines kept gas flowing to the Fremont and Hooper areas.
Spokesman Mike Loeffler said it could take weeks to determine what caused the explosion.
“They won’t know for sure until they can get in there and dig around and get the pipeline pulled up,” Dillenburg said.
Northern Natural Gas operates 14,900 miles of pipe in several states, stretching from southwest Texas to the Great Lakes region, according to its website. Its lines cut across much of eastern Nebraska.
Loeffler said he didn't know when the line was installed.
Throughout the day Friday, firefighters and law enforcement held a steady stream of onlookers at bay, keeping them from getting too close in case of more fire.
But plenty of folks could see it all from home.
At about 8:30 a.m., Keith and Marcia Johnson were in bed in their home down the road when they heard the boom.
“The house just shook,” Marcia Johnson said later Friday morning. “We looked out of our window and there was a huge ball of fire. We grabbed our clothes and ran out because our house is on the natural gas line. Keith doesn’t even have his shoes."
Erin Teut was getting ready for work when she saw the explosion from about 2 miles away.
"I just happened to be standing there looking out the window and I saw the explosion and felt it,” she said. “You just heard this roaring, it sounded like a jet had crashed.
“You see this big massive explosion, and you can just feel the pressure in the air when it happened. ... We were far enough away, but from that far the sound was absolutely frightening."

(CNN) -- A massive explosion Wednesday injured at least 11 people and resulted in a building collapse and raging fire in Manhattan's East Harlem, authorities said.
A Con Ed spokesman Bob McGee said the utility received a call of a gas leak at 9:13 AM. The call came from a resident at one of the newer building on Park Avenue. The utility dispatched a truck two minutes later but it arrived after the explosion, the spokesman said.

Building collapses in ManhattanClouds of dark smoke rose over the largely residential area of red-brick tenements and small businesses after the the 9:30 a.m. blast.
Hundreds of firefighters responded, many spraying water on the roaring blaze from ladders, others furiously pulling bricks near the collapse.
Metro North commuter rail service was suspended as debris from the explosion landed on the elevated tracks across the street, authorities said.
"I heard an explosion," said a neighborhood resident named Angelica. "The impact of the explosion jammed the doors. I couldn't get out the house. It was so loud."
The New York police bomb squad responded to the scene, according to a law enforcement source.
"Two buildings have collapsed. I hope there is no one in there. It's just rubble," a worker at a nearby flea market said.
Dark smoke could be seen billowing for a three-block radius as hundreds of rescue officials descended on the scene.
CNN first learned of this story via Twitter.

Qatar's capital of Doha, killing 12
by ABDULLAH REBHY., Associated Press - 27 February 2014 09:02-05:00
DOHA, Qatar - An apparent gas explosion Thursday at a restaurant near a filling station in the Qatari capital killed 12 people and wounded several more, emergency services officials in the energy-rich Gulf nation said.
Initial indications suggested a burst natural gas tank atop a Turkish restaurant was to blame for the blast, which happened shortly after 10 a.m. near the popular Landmark Mall shopping center in the capital, Doha.
The force of the explosion caused the partial collapse of the Istanbul Restaurant and sent shrapnel flying as far as 50 meters away, authorities said. Officials are treating the explosion as an accident, though it is unclear what ignited the tank.
The 12 people reported killed were all Asian or Arab, said Maj. Gen. Saad al-Khulaifi, who heads the country's police force. He did not give further details on their identities or nationalities.
He said 31 others were wounded, some seriously. He vowed authorities would conduct a full and transparent investigation.

Reuters News | Feb 23, 2014
MOSCOW (Reuters) - An explosion that investigators said may have been caused by gas killed three people at a shopping complex in Russia's remote Altai region in southern Siberia on Sunday, law enforcement authorities said.
Russian authorities are on alert for any attacks during the 2014 Winter Olympics, which end on Sunday in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi. Initial reports gave no information about the cause of the blast, raising fears it could have been a bombing.
But the federal Investigative Committee made no mention of any suspicion of a militant attack or foul play in the early morning blast that killed three female employees at the complex in the city of Biisk, more than 2,500 km (1,500 miles) east of Sochi.
"According to preliminary information, a household gas explosion may have been the cause," it said, adding that the investigation was continuing and a criminal case on suspicion of lethal negligence had been opened.

NORTHWOOD — The cause of Thursday's explosion at Northwood AG Products fertilizer storage that contains sulfuric acid is undetermined, according to Worth County Emergency Management Director Ray Huftalin.
The explosion, which forced the evacuation of Northwood's approximately 2,000 residents for most of the day, occurred around 7:30 a.m. Thursday.
Residents were given the all-clear about 4 p.m. U.S. Highway 65 was re-opened at approximately 3:15 p.m.
Considering the number of people involved, the evacuation went well, Huftalin said.
Four Northwood residents were treated at Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa Thursday morning following the fire.
The hospital was put on alert for the possibility of more people needing treatment.
No additional patients had been admitted as of 3:40 p.m. Thursday, a Mercy spokeswoman said.
The residents getting hospital treatment came in on their own, a hospital spokeswoman said.
General symptoms of exposure to sulfuric acid are vomiting, nausea and respiratory problems. The spokeswoman said anyone experiencing symptoms should go to the main entrance of the emergency room. A medical team would be there to assist them.
