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

Cyprus rescues five crew after explosion on oil tanker

Cyprus police rescued five injured crew from the water following an explosion on a Maltese-flagged oil tanker off the island’s south coast on Saturday, authorities said.

Two Indian crew were taken to the capital Nicosia for treatment for burns of between 30 and 70 percent, the head of the Cyprus Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC), Andreas Charalambides, told reporters.

The other three, all Greek citizens, had symptoms of hypothermia and were briefly hospitalised in the island’s main port of Limassol before being discharged, he said.

The remaining crew managed to put out the fire but the Athlos tanker was listing some 200 metres off the fishing village of Zygi, the JRCC said.

The ship was carrying around 100 tonnes of fuel for its own use but the rescue centre scrambled boats to contain any oil spill. There was no other dangerous cargo on board.

The Athlos had been headed from the island to Greece with a crew of 17 — one Georgian, seven Greeks and nine Indians.

Czech coal mine methane gas explosion kills 13

  • 21 December 2018

At least 13 miners have been killed and 10 more injured in a methane explosion at a Czech coal mine, officials say.

Most of the victims were Polish miners provided by an agency, the state-run OKD mining company said.

Thursday's blast happened 800m (2,600ft) below ground at the CSM hard-coal mine, near the eastern town of Karvina, close to the Polish border.

Managing director Boleslav Kowalczyk said a search operation was being hampered by fire.

"Unfortunately, we have reached a point where it was impossible to move forward, because there was a fire raging and zero visibility," he said.

OKD spokesman Ivo Celechovsky told AFP news agency that 11 of the miners were Polish and the two others Czech.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis is to visit the mine on Friday with his Polish counterpart, Mateusz Morawiecki.

"The blast at the CSM mine is a huge tragedy," Mr Babis tweeted.

A minute's silence for the victims is being held in parliament on Friday, he added.

42 people injured in Japan restaurant explosion

More than 40 people were injured in an explosion Sunday night at a Japanese restaurant in northern Japan, authorities said. The explosion occurred in Sapporo, the capital city of Japan's northern main island of Hokkaido, and caused nearby apartment buildings and houses to shake.

The cause of the explosion, which occurred at a two-story restaurant in Sapporo's Toyohira district, is under investigation, police said, adding that they had no further details.

TV footage from Japanese public broadcaster NHK showed the restaurant in flames, with debris scattered on the ground. The footage later showed gray smoke billowing from the restaurant as dozens of firefighters poured water onto the building, which was charred and nearly collapsing

Windows on an apartment building next door were broken, and cars parked outside were partially covered with debris that had fallen on them.

A witness told NHK he smelled gas after the sound of an explosion. The broadcaster said the district office was to set up a shelter for neighbors of the restaurant to stay overnight so they could escape the smoke.

Whole block condemned after Minnesota house explosion, 11 displaced

Friday, November 23, 2018 05:00PM
An entire block in St. Paul, Minnesota, was condemned following a house explosion Friday.

The incident sent debris flying through the area. Officials told WCCO that a man in his 60s was found inside the remains of the house.

Officials said the man's feet were sticking out of the rubble and he was conscious and speaking when he was rescued. His current condition is unknown.

A neighbor was taken to an area hospital and is expected to recover.

"I just woke up, my girlfriend just got out of bed, she went to go make food, and the next thing you know the whole house started shaking, her brother was still sleeping it actually woke him up out of bed and we were all like, 'what was that?"'," said witness Austin Hulsing.

Officials said the blast may have been caused by a natural gas line, but an investigation is underway.

"We could smell like a little bit of gas, and a little bit of wood burning and stuff like that but it didn't seem like it was continuous," said neighbor James Porter. "It was just like, 'boom' and it happened and then it was over with."

Fire crews are working to determine the extent of the damage. 11 people were displaced when the surrounding block was condemned. Some nearby businesses are also closed until they can be inspected.

One found dead following explosion, fire at Aurora senior living community

The large structure fire broke out at Heather Gardens just before 6 p.m. Friday

PUBLISHED: November 17, 2018 at 11:51 am | UPDATED: November 17, 2018 at 9:05 pm

Ron Achenbach was sitting in a neighbor’s living room Friday night in the Heather Gardens senior community when he heard an enormous crash. The walls shook. Pictures fell to the ground. He thought it must have been a fallen tree.

“Then I saw a fireball the size of truck through the window,” he said. “I’ve never seen anything like that.”

Achenbach ran back to his house.

“I saw people stumbling around,” he said. Flames shot up six stories high.

A normal Friday night turned tragic at the senior living community in Aurora, after a gas explosion leveled homes, leaving one person dead and two injured.

The explosion marked the second gas leak in three days at Heather Gardens, a community of about 4,500 southeast of Interstate 225 at East Yale Avenue. The two incidents were unrelated, Mark Stutz, Xcel Energy spokesman, said Saturday, and were by caused contractors working for a third party.

The cause of the explosion has not been determined, and an investigation could take weeks, Sherri-Jo Stowell, spokeswoman for Aurora Fire Rescue, said.

The deceased was identified as Carol Ross. She was found in one of the patio home units in Heather Gardens early Saturday morning, Stowell said.

“This is a tragic loss and as friends and neighbors, members of the HGA and HGMD Boards want to express our deepest sympathy to her family and friends,” Heather Gardens said in a emailed statement to residents

Two others were injured in the blast, including a firefighter, who was released from a hospital just before midnight, Stowell said.

Six units across three duplex buildings were damaged the most, Heather Gardens said.

The housing community’s board, along with Aurora City Council member Bob Roth, met in emergency session this morning to weigh future actions, the statement said.

Comcast had been working for months in Heather Gardens to install fiber-optic cables, Comcast Colorado spokeswoman Leslie Oliver confirmed. That work will be stopped indefinitely, Heather Gardens said. The Public Utilities Commission requested that the company suspend all fiber-optic installations until further notice.

On Wednesday, during the first gas-related incident, Heather Gardens reportedly sent out an email to residents, warning them of a “major gas leak” between two buildings.

“We ask that you do not light any matches, lighters, candles, or use anything that could cause a spark for the time being,” the message read.

But multiple residents, including two who live mere feet from Friday’s explosion, said they did not receive any email Wednesday.

About 5:30 p.m. Friday, Xcel Energy responded to reports of gas odors in the area. Before 6 p.m., a large structure fire broke out after the explosion. Fire crews had the blaze under control by 9:30 p.m. Residents were evacuated Friday night, and gas service was turned off.

Houses still smoldered Saturday. What used to be neat duplexes looked like a war zone: garage doors blown 50 feet away; a house reduced to blackened rubble, not a single wall still standing; cars in driveways covered by piles of dry wall.

And a gaping hole where a beloved neighbor used to live.

A retired nurse, Carol Ross was one of those people that everyone seemed to know, friends said. She taught knitting and crocheting at the clubhouse and often could be found on warm summer evenings sitting and chatting on her porch.

“She was one of those people that you hope to meet lots of in your life,” neighbor Carol Drollinger said. “A true people person.”

Ross loved traveling and was especially fond of cruises, friends said. She had traveled to every continent in the world but one, and she had a cruise planned to Antarctica in December to finish the world tour. Her house was fully decorated with mementos from her various expeditions.

“She was a dear, kindred soul,” neighbor Roger Rickson said. “She will be missed.”

Rickson and his wife, Linda Champ, were in their basement Friday night when they heard the explosion. Rickson, who spent time in the military, said it “sounded like artillery going off.”

He bolted up the stairs and ran outside, yelling if anyone needed help. He saw flames engulfing entire homes. Less than 100 feet away, Rickson noticed his neighbor trapped in her home.

“The entire wall had been blown off,” he said.

After the explosion, many residents evacuated to the Heather Gardens clubhouse.

Drollinger, who was sitting with Ron Achenbach in her home when the explosion rocked her house, watched the community rally in response. “I’m so proud of our people,” she said. “This was a small town coming together. My faith in humanity is being restored.”

With temperatures below freezing and a steady sleet coming down Saturday morning, residents tried to stay warm as Xcel Energy worked to get heat back into homes.

Achenbach saw Drollinger wrapped in a jacket as she stood in her foyer. Two minutes later, he was back at her front door, a space heater in hand.

Drollinger thanked him and offered her home if Achenbach and his wife, Gloria, needed a place to sleep.

“It’s breathtaking to see a community help each other out,” Achenbach said.

Multiple residents said that after 4 p.m., but before the explosion, fire officials informed them that they had identified the gas leak and that folks would be safe in their homes.

Linda Champ said she got a knock on her door about 4:30 p.m.

“They said, ‘keep your windows closed and call if you get a headache,’ ” Champ said. “They did not tell me to evacuate.”

Achenbach said around the same time, fire officials came to his house. They checked and did not identify gas in his home, he said. “They said, ‘You should be safe here,’ ” he said.

An hour later, his neighbor’s home was consumed by fire.

Stowell, the Aurora fire spokeswoman, said she was unaware of these reports.

“I do know that as soon as the explosion happened, we were immediately pulling people out of there,” she said. “There were some extremely heroic actions.”

The Radisson Hotel Aurora has blocked off a set of rooms for Heather Gardens residents, Leighanne Beverley, a hotel employee, said. The hotel was contacted by the Red Cross late Saturday night and has given those affected a discounted rate.

As of 7:30 p.m. Saturday, natural gas service had been restored to all but two customers at Heather Gardens, Stutz said.
