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

Greenwich CT.— Friday afternoon on Greenwich Avenue was a bit more dramatic after a manhole cover burst out of the ground, causing traffic delays.
http://www.greenwichtime.com/local/article/Manhole-explosion-causes...
According to the Greenwich Fire Department, no one was hurt by the explosion.
The incident took place a little after 5 p.m. just below the Avenue’s intersection with Lewis Street near Hoagland’s and
Brooks Brothers. Police and fire units responded to the scene and directed traffic away from the area.
Several stores closed as a precaution. Eversource Energy responded to the scene and work is continuing to fix the manhole.
According to witnesses, a loud boom was heard but no property damage was detected. Responders reported no sign of any gas leaks in the area.

ROSTOV-ON-DON (Russia) (Sputnik) — The gas has exploded in one of the flats in the apartment building in the Russian southern city of Taganrog, 150 people were evacuated and three people were injured in the explosion, the Russian Emergencies ministry said Sunday.
“We have received a message that a gas explosion took place on Shaumian street 12/1 in of the flats of the five-story apartment house, 3 people were injured, two hospitalized, one refused hospitalization … four flats were partly destructed on the fifth floor. The residents of the building were evacuated, around 150 people,” the ministry said.

Several manholes caught fire and one exploded, flying into the air near Government Center yesterday morning, authorities said.
Firefighters were first alerted to a smoldering manhole about 10:50 a.m. near Bowdoin, Cambridge and Sudbury streets, said Steve MacDonald, a spokesman with the Boston Fire Department.
“When we arrived, there was thick, black smoke coming out of a manhole. The cover was already off. While we were there, a second manhole exploded, sending it at least 50 feet in the air. The potential was there to seriously injure someone. Fortunately, no one was injured.”
Firefighters used an extinguishing agent in the burning manholes to contain the blaze until workers from Eversource made it to the scene, MacDonald said.
Eversource spokesman Michael Durand said the fire was at least partially caused by failing electrical cables that serve traffic lights, which “triggered the fire.”
But there were no power outages to the area caused by the manhole fires, he said.
“We expect to be done with the repairs to the cable that serves the traffic lights by around 6 a.m. (today). In the meantime, we brought in the generator to restore power to the traffic lights while we do our work, so the lights are working. We’re investigating the possibility that there was a buildup of some type of gas in the manhole that was ignited by the cable failure,” Durand said.

Alarm in the sea area near the ants Montecristo: registered gas emissions, here are the results of the investigations INGV - ITALY
increase in methane concentration.

Continue the investigation in the sea area between the islands of Montecristo and Pianosa to understand the outgassing phenomenon which, as reported on March 16 last by some fishermen in the area, has resulted in the elevation of a water column of a few meters on the surface sea in the vicinity of the Ants of Montecristo.
The Civil Protection Department has instructed the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), will investigate to understand the magnitude and characteristics of the phenomenon. The overflights, carried out by the Harbour Master with measurements with thermal camera, have shown that the gaseous emissions are not associated with localized temperature changes. The chemical analysis of sea water, carried out by INGV Geochemical Group of Naples, showed a significant increase in methane concentration.
The set of elements allows to narrow the field of hypothesis, indicating that it is a type of mud "volcano phenomenon" in which large amounts of methane protrude in vigorous manner.

A ‘massive gas explosion’ has allegedly destroyed several buildings in New Ferry, Merseyside, this evening.
The explosion reportedly took place at a dance studio.
The cause has not been confirmed, however initial reports state it may have been gas explosion.
Shocking pictures on Twitter shows the widespread damage and bricks scattered across the roadway.
One person has serious injuries and 23 are ‘walking wounded’.
Local radio station Capital FM said: ‘Explosion in New Ferry understood to be at a furniture shop.
‘Building flattened with other buildings around it suffering damage
Nearby homes have had their windows blown through.
One neighbour said: ‘Wirral explosion, Made the whole house shake… People out in the streets, Smoke at the end of the road!’
A witness described the aftermath as being ‘like a war zone’.
Merseyrail services have been severely affected.
A spokesman for Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said: ‘Several two storey buildings over a 40 metre by 50 metre radius have collapsed as a result of an explosion caused by a suspected gas leak at the junction of Boundary Road and Bebbington Road in New Ferry, the Wirral.
‘The buildings are believed to be a row of shops but there has been no confirmation of this yet.
‘Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service currently have four appliances and a special rescue team on the scene and police and ambulance service are also in attendance.’

A thunderous gas explosion completely demolished a home in suburban Pittsburgh on Thursday and fatally injured two dogs that were inside at the time.
Officials say the owner of the residence in Moon Township was at work and no person was injured.
One of the dogs suffered an eye injury and burns. Both pets ultimately had to be put down, according to the homeowner's friend.
People's Gas spokesman Barry Kukovich says crews are working to determine the cause of the explosion, which razed the house to the ground.
Multiple fire crews responded to 111 Convair Drive in Moon Township at around 3.45pm on Thursday after getting reports of a powerful blast that was felt a half-mile away
The owner of the property lived there alone with a pit bull and a boxer that were inside the house at the time of the explosion but managed to escape.
Scott said the owner rushed to the scene a short time later and appeared 'shocked' to find a mound of dirt and wood where his home had once stood.
'I was in the garage, just sitting there. All of a sudden, the entire house shook - a tremendous explosion,' neighbor Ray Collins told WPXI. 'I felt like I was back in Vietnam.'
Allegheny Count property records list the owner of the demolished house as Ryan Arreola.
Debris from the razed house was found 100-200 feet away and some neighboring homes sustained damage as a result of the incident
According to an entry on the real estate site Zillow.com, the house on Convair Drive was a three-bedroom, one-bath that was built in 1961. It was last sold in 2014 for just under $140,000.
Debris from the razed house was found 100-200 feet away and some neighboring homes sustained damage as a result of the incident, but there were no evacuations.
Workers shut off gas service to the neighborhood in Moon and went from home to home to check the lines.
Officials told KDKA the homeowner never expressed any concerns with his gas line or reported smelling gas. No work was being performed on gas lines in the area around the time of the explosion.
The utility company has launched a probe to determine the underlying cause of the blast, which could take weeks, reported Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Social media posts indicate that Arreola, 28, is an infantry Marine formerly with 3rd Battalion 4th Marines and an MMA fighter who works for a heating, ventilation and air conditioning company based in Pittsburgh.
Mark Cherico, the owner of Mark Cherico's Martial Arts & Fitness Academy, posted a status update on Thursday asking people to keep his friend Ryan Arreola in their prayers.
'He lost everything today including having to put both his dogs down,' the post read.
When a commenter inquired what happened to the dogs, a brown boxer named Romeo and a black and white pit bull, Cherico replied that the pets had to be euthanized due to the injuries sustained in the blast.
On Friday, a GoFundMe campaign was launched asking for donations to help the displaced veteran. So far, just under $5,500 has been raised.

Discovered: 200-plus Arctic lakes which bubble like jacuzzis from seeping methane gas

23 March, 2017. Space pictures show the blue-tinted lakes formed in depressions caused by thawing permafrost on the Yamal and Gydan peninsulas.
A feature of these thermokarst lakes are craters or funnels in the sediment on the floor through which they are haemorrhaging methane. These pockmarks are similar to those found on the floors of the great oceans.
Scientists say these leaks are year round in lakes where carbon processing and methane emission occur even at temperatures close to zero degrees Celcius. Detailed study of satellite data from 2015-16 has identified more than 200 lakes which are seen as an active source of methane emissions.
The gas is of both a biochemical nature, the result of microbial activity released by permafrost thawing, and catagenesis, formed in deep ground layers.

Professor Vasily Bogoyavlensky, deputy director of the Moscow-based Oil and Gas Research Institute, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said: 'These lakes have a number of features, which can help identify them from a distance: the anomalous blue colour of water, the presence of craters on the bottom and gas seeps in the water, the traces of gas in the seasonal ice cover, as well as active coastal erosion and permafrost swelling near the water's edge.'
The sulphur in the gas leaks results in algae flourishing in these Arctic waters, which give the lakes their distinctive hue. He warned that 'many of the sites with gas emissions are located close to the territory of oil and gas deposits'.

Moreover, he sees an 'interrelation of gas emissions and seismic activity. 'For example, over one of the gas deposits (in Yamal), lakes are located along two lines ... looking like a giant cross'.
This suggests a 'genetic connection of craters with deep faults in the earth's crust, but to confirm we need to conduct thorough seismic research'.
His work in highlighting the lakes with bubbling methane follow revelations this week of several thousand pingos, some of which are filled with gas which could 'explode' forming giant craters - as seen in pictures here. At least 10 craters are known about caused by such eruptions.

Scientists say it was wrong to call these pingos 'gas bubbles'. Nor are all pingos in this region susceptible to explode.
Pingos are dome-shaped mounds over a core of ice, and they can erupt under pressure of methane gas released by the thawing of permafrost caused by climate change.
Alexey Titovsky, director of the Department of Science and Innovation in Yamal-Nenets autonomous region, said: 'All the pingos revealed in Yamal are now monitored and in the coming summer the scientists will study them more closely.
Craters of gas emissions in the South Kara region (C1, C2, C3, C4, C9). Picture: Vasily Bogoyavlensky
'One of the most important things for us it to understand how they appear, to develop a method of detection of such formations. It is also important to understand what is inside such mounds.
'There can be gas, water, ice - anything. We need to know precisely in order to make forecast.
'Sadly the study of the crater that appeared in 2014 near Bovanenkovo does not give us the precise answer as to what exactly was inside the pingo that preceded this crater. When we understand what is inside the pingos, we can predict how dangerous they are.'
Dr Marina Leibman, an expert from the Institute of Earth Cryosphere, Russian Academy of Sciences, said 'Last year in Yamal there was a very warm summer season.
'As a result, the expeditions of 2017 will be aimed at assessing the changes associated with this warming. There is a possibility of the activation of these cryogenic processes. Obviously, the area of thermocircuits will increase. The temperature of rocks and the depth of seasonal thawing will increase.'
But the scientists say they 'refute' the term 'underground gas bubbles'. They have never encountered such a natural phenomenon.
All the cryogenic processes which occur on the peninsula are well studied and have scientific explanations,' said a statement. 'All of them are the subject of ongoing scientific monitoring.
'It should be added that 'gas bubbles' is used in common language for another unusual phenomenon, recorded in July 2016 on the Bely Island, when an abnormally hot summer resulted in thawing permafrost and swelling the turf.... Scientists counted only a dozen of such small 'bubbles' on the surface.' Source: siberiantimes.com
http://strangesounds.org/2017/03/7000-mysterious-underground-gas-bu...
These bubbles – such as one seen in our video on Bely Island – have been called ‘trembling tundra’:
Scientists have discovered as many as 7,000 gas-filled ‘bubbles’ expected to explode in Actic regions of Siberia during field and satellite surveys.
7,000 Huge Gas Bubbles Have Formed Under Siberia, and Could Explode at Any Moment. Via The Siberian TimesThe bulging bumps in the Yamal and Gydan peninsulas are believed to be caused by thawing permafrost releasing methane.
Bulging bumps in the Yamal and Gydan peninsulas believed to be caused by thawing permafrost releasing methane. Pictures: Yamal Region Via The Siberian TimesThe region has seen several recent examples of sudden ‘craters’ or funnels forming from pingos after what scientists believe are caused by eruptions from methane gas released by the thawing of permafrost which is triggered by climate change.
Here’s an image of one bubble found by Bogoyavlensky that has swelled immensely. via Science AlertScientists believe that thawing permafrost is a suspected reason for the cause of underground gas bubble formation.
While collapsed bubbles can form fairly small ‘pockmarks’ in the ground, they’ve also been linked to the massive sinkholes and craters that have been appearing across Siberia.Analysis last year of the 15 Bely island underground gas pockets showed multiple excesses of greenhouse gas content compared with average levels in the atmosphere.
With time, the bubble explodes, releasing gas. This is how gigantic funnels form.Recently there were accounts of a ‘big bang’ triggering the formation of a crater on the Taimyr Penin.... However, there was no pingo on this spot before the eruption in 2013. The noise could be heard up to 100 km away and one resident saw a ‘glow in the sky’ after the explosion, it was revealed.
The question is now: Which bumps are dangerous and which are not. Scientists are working on detecting and structuring signs of potential threat, like the maximum height of a bump and pressure that the earth can withstand.
