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

A question is already posed to ZT in this weeks chat about the mysterious explosions in Russia over the past week.  I have no idea what this is but it is worrisome.

http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1524-repetition-of-1908.html

An unusually powerful explosions in Siberia, Russia at February 2012 -are the repetition of the Tunguska explosion in 1908?
Wednesday, 15 February 2012 15:37

As reported the Geophysical Service of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences- two unusually powerful explosions occurred in the last few days in the south of Western Siberia, a few dozen kilometers of the town of Belovo, Kemerovo Region, Russia. The first explosion took place February 9, 2012 at 20:30 pm, the explosion was such a huge force, that the inhabitants of cities Belovo Prokopevsk, Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo felt such powerful tremors of the earth, which in many apartments the furniture were falling, many residents were in the panic, ran into the street, thinking that this is an earthquake, but according to the Geophysical Service of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, that have been published already after a few minutes after these shocks- Russian Academy of Sciences excluded the possibility of an earthquake, as an explosion occurred on the surface of the earth, the force was M3.6 on the Richter scale. After this - at February 12, 2012 was another explosion, a little weaker, than the previous explosion, and the Geophysical Service of the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences also noted, that it was an explosion but was not an earthquake and this explosion occurred exactly at the same place (the copy of the report message of Geophysical Service of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences can be viewed at the top of this article). All the local press of the Kemerovo region for several days discussed these strange explosions, for first- these explosions can not be explained by the extraction of minerals, since the extraction of minerals in Russia at night time is strictly prohibited, and secondly, the explosions were so much force, that they were equivalent to an explosion of several thousand tons of explosives, and so much explosives do not have the local companies, that extract minerals in this region. Therefore, put forward suggestions, that it were the explosions like of the Tunguska explosion of 1908 or it were the testing of new models of tectonic weapons. Two days ago the specialists of Russian Academy of Sciences from Moscow arrived in Kemerovo, now in the area of explosions are prohibited the access of local residents.

Manhole explosion rocks Max Fisher music venue; Sphinx15 competition moved

Detroit— At least one manhole cover blew off Sunday morning outside the Max M. Fisher Music Center on Woodward just north of Mack Avenue.

Detroit police and firefighters were on the scene as of about 11 a.m. working with DTE Energy and MichCon to determine exactly what happened, a fire department dispatcher said.

Nobody was injured in the blast, but people in the music center had to be evacuated, Detroit Symphony Orchestra spokeswoman Gabrielle Poshadlo said.

Police have closed off Woodward between Parsons and Selden streets.

"It appears to be some sort of an underground cable failure," said Len Singer, spokesman for DTE. "We're still investigating exactly what the source of that was."

Methane gas can build up and create enough pressure to pop off manhole covers, Singer said.

"It's not common, but it's not unheard of," he said of the blast.

DTE hasn't received any reports of people losing power. Poshadlo said she doesn't know the extent of any damage to the music center.

Due to the explosion today's Sphinx15 Finals Competition, originally scheduled to be held at the Max M. Fisher Music Center, has been moved to Hill Auditorium on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Hill Auditorium will honor all previously issued tickets.

No other events have been cancelled or rescheduled to this point.

Explosion in Lahoisk: There’s Smell of Gas in the House for Three Days

The basic version of an explosion in a hostel in Lahoisk district, which is currently verified, is a gas leak. This was reported by Head of Information and Public Relations of the Investigative Committee of Belarus Pavel Traulko on February 9.

"According to the residents, there was a strong smell of gas in the house for three days. Audio-talks of the house residents and the gas control service were checked during the investigation into this criminal case. It will help to find out whether there really was the information about the smell of gas over the last few nights," he said, reports CTV.

According to the representative of the Investigative Committee of Belarus, the actions of officials of the housing maintenance organizations and organizations involved in the supply of gas are going to be legally assessed in the course of the investigation.

As Telegraf previously reported, the victims of the explosion in Lahoisk have already begun to receive the financial aid.

METHANE EXPLOSION

One killed, 9 injured in methane explosion at Ukrainian coalmine

Kiev (Platts)--7Feb2012/758 am EST/1258 GMT

One Ukrainian coal miner was killed and nine were injured in a methane gas explosion at a coal mine in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, the emergency situations ministry reported Tuesday.

The explosion occurred around 22:52 local time (2152 GMT) Monday about 1,160 meters deep inside the Pivnichna coalmine.

There were 136 coal miners working in a shift at the mine when the accident happened, while 10 miners appeared to be close to the epicenter of the explosion, the ministry said.

The coalmine operation was temporary suspended and a special commission was created to investigate the accident, the ministry said.

Ukrainian coal mines are considered to be unsafe due to high concentration of methane gas that comes with the coal deposits, while sometimes the outdated technologies and equipment are also blamed. Methane gas explosions kill and injure hundreds of coal miners annually.

Home torn apart and neighbours evacuated as massive explosion is caused… by a TOASTER

Feb 6, 2012

A house was ripped apart by a gas explosion that neighbours described as sounding like a bomb when fumes were ignited by the home owner making toast.

Pamela Gilson was rushed to hospital and houses nearby were evacuated after the 61-year-old's toaster caused a fireball to rip through her home in Oakworth, West Yorkshire.

Some described the noise as being like a bomb while others suggested that it felt as though there had been an earthquake as it shook the whole street and debris blew into the road.

Firefighters believe that gas had been leaking from a corroded pipe into the kitchen extension that was completely demolished in the blast

Ms Gilson was left with flash burns to her hands and face but her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

A second person was admitted to hospital with smoke inhalation.

Neighbours Michael and Helen Hockenhull, who were evacuated from their home, said the explosion was so loud they initially thought it had happened in their own house.

Mrs Hockenhull said the blast sounded like 'a bomb going off', and she expected the woman whose house was at the heart of the explosion would be in shock.

She said: 'When she comes back to see what state her house is in it'll be even more of a shock for her.

A police spokesman said: 'It is thought to have been caused by a gas leak in the drainage system, leading to gas being contained in the walls of the house.

'Although the explosion and resulting flash fire was contained to one house, surrounding homes were evacuated as a precautionary measure until utility companies have been able to locate the leak and bring it under control.'

Those evacuees who did not have relatives or friends to seek shelter with were taken to the Poppyfield Centre, Basingstoke, to wait for the all clear.
