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.

SOZT

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

SOZT

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

One killed in Canadian oil plant accident

AFP | Montreal Saturday, 16 January 2016

One person was killed and another injured following an explosion at an oil sands plant in western Canada, the Canadian subsidiary of the Chinese company CNOOC said Friday.

Canada-based Nexen Energy ULC did not give a reason for the Friday explosion at its Long Lake facility south of Fort McMurray, in northern Alberta province.

“Our emergency response plan has been activated and response personnel, including first responders ... are on site,” Nexen said in a statement.

“We are deeply saddened to confirm one fatality and a second person is at hospital. All other personnel are accounted for.”

The site was shut down “and we are stabilizing the scene.”

Nexen said that there is “no immediate danger to neighboring communities or personnel still on site,” and said that regulators “have been notified”.

The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) reported a pipeline rupture in July at the same Long Lake oil sands site.

In that incident five million liters (31,500 barrels) of oil mixed with waste water and sand poured out of the site, resulting in the second largest oil spill Alberta and one of the most serious oil spills in North America.

The publicly-traded China National Overseas Oil Corporation, or CNOOC group, bought Nexen in 2013 for $15 billion.

5 killed, 1 injured by gas leak blast in northern Italy

Source: Xinhua   2016-01-17 03:35:45

MILAN, Italy, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Five people were killed and one seriously injured as a building collapsed early on Saturday following a big blast caused by a gas leak in Arnasco, a town in northwestern Italy, local media said.

Four Italian men aged between 49 and 76 and a 56-year-old Moroccan woman were found dead under debris. Three of the victims were living in the building, the others were visitors, according to local newspaper Il Secolo XIX.

Another woman of South American origin was extracted alive by rescue teams. She was rushed to hospital but her conditions appeared desperate, rescuers said.

The explosion, which was heard up to 8 km away, flattened a two-storey building dating back to more than 100 years ago, and damaged around 10 others, firefighters said.

Arnasco has just slightly more than 600 inhabitants.

"The blast occurred in a four-apartment building and was a violent one. I was informed around 3:00 a.m.," Arnasco Mayor Alfredo Gallizia, who immediately rushed to the spot, was quoted by ANSA news agency as saying.

"I had seen something like that just in movies ... some houses in the surrounding area had their windows smashed. The building fell to pieces, the rooms were filled with gas," Gallizia added.

A man living in the neighborhood, Michele Becchio, said he heard a terrible roar and went down the street.

"Windows smashed, our children were frightened. I went out and I saw that a nearby building had totally collapsed. This is a sorrowful day for our town, we are shocked," he said.

Around 15 residents were reportedly evacuated from nearby buildings and will be not allowed to spend the night at home for security reasons.

"We are going to host them in hotels in the neighborhoods. We are also at work to restore viability and ordinary activities in Arnasco," said Giovanni Toti, President of Liguria region where Arnasco is located.

Investigators were at work to ascertain the causes and responsibilities of the deadly blast, local authorities said.

Home explosion kills family of four in Ohio

Posted: Jan 12, 2016 7:28 AM EST

Ohio -

(CNN)  A family of four was killed after their home exploded Monday night.

CNN reported the explosion left the first floor filled with smoke and the second floor engulfed in flames.

The parents and their two daughters, ages eight and twelve, were all inside the home at the time.

The cause is under investigation but Northfield Center Fire Department Chief, Frank Risko, said they do not believe gas was the cause.

"Right now they don't suspect that it was gas," said Risko. "There was no trace of a gas explosion. That's what they indicated to us. But that'll be checked out with the state fire marshals."

Risko also said this is the first deadly incident in his 25 years with the department.

Ohio house explosion: What to do if there's a gas leak

Two children, two adults were killed by the blast and subsequent fire Monday night in Northfield Center Township, about 15 miles southeast of Cleveland, Ohio.

A house explosion that shook a northeast Ohio neighborhood left two adults and two children dead, fire officials said.

The blast and subsequent fire happened Monday night in Northfield Center Township, near the village of Northfield in Summit County, about 15 miles southeast of Cleveland.

Firefighters arrived on the scene and saw flames shooting from the house.

Northfield Center Fire Chief Frank Risko said the bodies of a mother and her two daughters, ages 8 and 12, were found on the first floor near the front of the home. He said the father was found near the back of the house. Authorities did not immediately identify the victims.

Neighbors reported hearing the blast around 8:30 p.m.

Randy Nickschinski lives two doors away. He told Cleveland.com that he and his son, Nate, rushed to the house and kicked in the front door. The family's dog quickly escaped. Then he, his son and another neighbor went inside and yelled for the family, but no one answered.

"There was a lot of fire, a lot of debris," Nickschinski said. "We were yelling and nothing. We were just looking everywhere."

Nickschinski's daughter, Danielle, told the website that she had done babysitting for the family's two young girls.

"They were very outgoing and nice," she said. "They always wanted to play."

The cause of the explosion remained under investigation.

In November, a gas explosion in a home in Elizabeth, N.J. killed one person and injuring 15 people. As The Christian Science Monitor reported at the time, with more than 177 million Americans relying on natural gas in their homes, according to the American Gas Association, there are several things people can do when they suspect there may be a gas leak:

If you smell gas (such as a “rotten egg” smell) or hear the hiss of a possible leak, you should check to see if the burners on your stove are off, and then open the windows to ventilate the house.

If something is obviously wrong, like sparks or flames, you should evacuate the house immediately, warn others nearby and then call 911 from a safe location.

But if you’re inside, the burners are off and you still suspect a leak, don’t turn on the lights or use other electrical devices, cautions Captain James Altman of the Santa Monica Fire Department.

“That could lead to a spark, which causes an explosion," Mr. Altman told USA Today last year. "You want to make sure you have a flashlight handy."

If you notice the grass or bushes outside have suddenly turned brown or look more rusty, that could be a sign of gas pouring out of the pipes, you should call 911 immediately and then call the gas company.

Other signs of a leak include dirt and dust blowing from a hole in the ground or bubbling in wet or flooded areas.

Gas line explosion in Robertson County

ROBERTSON COUNTY - As of 8:55 p.m., the fire has been put out and according to Robertson County Sheriff's Office, the evacuation request has been lifted.

Atmos energy however, said they are still doing a sweep of the area to make sure it is 100% safe for residents.

There is also still a small grass fire. Some fire personnel will remain on scene until it completely burns out.

UPDATE: 
As of 7:00 p.m., officials say the fire will continue to burn anywhere between one and four more hours.

According to Atmos, the gas line has been shut off. It will however take a while to get the gas out of the line.

Atmos said once the gas is out of the line they will go in to make sure the area is safe.

Four families have been evacuated as a precaution.

No injuries reported.
--

Multiple agencies are responding to a gas line explosion in far eastern Robertson County.

According to Sheriff Gerald Yezak, it happened James Cemetery Road south of Camp Creek Lake around 4:00 p.m. Saturday. He says the fire is still burning, but is contained.

Yezak says the explosion came from a 30-inch gas operated by Atmos. Company spokesperson Chace Murphy says Atmos crews are responding and investigating.

Sheriff's deputies went to homes in the area to evacuate residents, though Yezak says most residents weren't home. There are no injuries reported as of Saturday evening.

Fire crews from Franklin, Normangee, Easterly, Wheelock and Hilltop Lakes have all responded.

News 3 viewers reported feeling earthquake-like tremors, and seeing flames and smoke for miles.

News 3 has a crew on the scene. This story will be updated as new details become available.

Southern California Gas Company's Aliso Canyon gas leak is declared a state of emergency by California Governor Jerry Brown


California Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency over a large Southern California gas leak in Los Angeles County, which has led to months of protests and the displacement of thousands of families.
Governor Brown made the declaration on Wednesday, which will make more resources available for dealing with the leak at Porter Ranch, which is within LA County.
In the press release announcing the state of emergency, Brown's office said the order has come due to the "prolonged and continuing duration of the Aliso Canyon gas leak."
The leak at the Southern California Gas Company's Aliso Canyon storage field, which began on October 23, has steadily leaked 62 million cubic feet of methane into the air daily, according to an estimate by the Environmental Defense Fund.
The proclamation calls for the SoCal Gas to maximize the amount of natural gas being removed from the facility, capture leaks while relief wells are being built, and to identify how the company will stop the leak if relief wells don't seal the problem, or if the existing leak gets worse.
Since the leak was first noticed by workers at Aliso Canyon, repeated attempts to fix the leak were unsuccessful, leaving gas billowing downhill into Porter Ranch, a commuter residential area. Governor Brown's proclamation calls for the gas company to stop the leak, protect public safety, ensure accountability and strengthen oversight of gas storage facilities.
The proclamation also states that the California Public Utilities Commission will make sure SoCal Gas covers costs related to both the leak and its response, while protecting the company's own ratepayers.
Governor Brown met with Porter Ranch residents and toured the Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility earlier this week.
In December, an LA city court ordered SoCal Gas to provide temporary housing for thousands of Porter Ranch residents sick from inhaling gas fumes from the leak for over two months.
The court order was intended to provide relief to more than 2,500 families waiting to be relocated since October 23.
The gas company had already paid for housing for more than 2,000 other households, according to the Los Angeles Times.
There are an estimated 30,000 residents living in Porter Ranch.
During the course of the leaks, thousands of complaints of headaches, nausea and nosebleeds were made to the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
LA Weekly reported that the well was drilled in 1953 and was designed with a sub-surface safety valve over 8,000 feet underground.
The valve broke and was removed in 1979 and never replaced. SoCal has said it will take until March for them to drill a relief well to resolve the problem and cap the current well.

Man dies after explosion and fire at Wolverhampton (UK) house


A man has died after a major explosion and fire at a home in Wolverhampton this afternoon.

Fire 1 JS05

Emergency services were called at 3.16pm to the detached property on Rylands Drive, off Mount Road, Penn, where flames spread from the first floor into the roof.

The victim was confirmed dead at the scene, which is the second house explosion in the area within a few days.

Police said they were not treating today's tragedy as suspicious. Neighbours spoke of a large explosion, and said they had seen DIY being carried out by the householder earlier in the day.

Thirteen firefighters from Fallings Park and Tettenhall were at the scene, along with the air ambulance, police and National Grid.

It is currently unknown what started the blaze, but firefighters confirmed that a gas explosion was not the cause.

West Midlands Police spokesman Lee Page said: "We are currently supporting West Midlands Fire Service at the scene of an explosion at a property on Rylands Drive, Penn, Wolverhampton, which was reported at around 3.25pm today.

"The road is currently cordoned off by officers. We have no further information at this stage."

West Midlands Ambulance spokesman Chris Kowalik said: “Wearing personal protective clothing and using breathing apparatus, the Hazardous Area Response Team entered the building with the fire service where they found the body of a man. He was confirmed dead at the scene.”

The scene is not far from Penn Road, where a house was demolished in a gas explosion last week.

This evening, residents were being allowed back into their homes as they spoke of their shock at the tragedy.

One woman described seeing some coming from the roof of the house, before a large number of police cars arrived to seal the road off.

Residents evacuated as landslide ruptures gas main and closes road

http://www.itv.com/news/channel/update/2016-01-06/landslide-rupture...

6 January 2016 at 5:35am

Residents were evacuated from their home last night after part of it collapsed in a landslide, ruptured a gas main and closed part of the road from Gorey to Anne Port.

The collapse caused extensive damage to the garage below, and fractured the gas supply pipework.

While the slippage isn't blocking the road, Transport and Technical Services are worried it could slide further and into traffic.

The road has been closed from the junction of Mont de la Guerande by The Crab Shack to the junction with Les Charriers d’Anneport by the former Jeffery’s Leap tearoom.

The occupants were evacuated and the area was cordoned off while an inspection was carried out by Fire Service personnel and TTS.

Jersey Gas were then able to isolate its supply to the property, however parts of the building and surrounding area remain unstable.

A diversion around the area has been put in place, but the road may remain closed for several days whilst engineers assess the damage, and risk of further slippage.

Access will only allowed to adjacent properties. Motorists are asked to find alternative routes around the diversion for the next few days.
