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

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• The explosion occurred in Philadelphia's Tacony neighborhood
• The blast killed one utilities worker and injured five other people
• Some of the injuries are serious

(CNN) -- A gas main explosion in Philadelphia Tuesday evening killed one utilities worker and injured five other people, a fire department official said.

Philadelphia Gas Works employees were responding to a gas main break in the city's Tacony neighborhood when the explosion occurred, fire department spokesman Jim Smith said.

"They were trying to control it and found a source of ignition," according to Smith, who said four PGW employees and a firefighter were among the injured. He said some of the gas workers' injuries were serious.

Homes evacuated amid gas mystery

4:50pm Monday 12th December 2011

Homes had to be evacuated after a mystery gas cloud descended on Brighton and Hove.

Investigations are continuing today (Monday, December 12) into what caused the smell of gas in the city.

Southern Gas Networks (SGN) was inundated with calls from worried residents on Saturday (December 10)evening.

Most of those affected were along the seafront.

The company said it received 25 calls and engineers were immediately sent out to investigate.

Extra crews were brought in from other areas of southern England as a back-up.

However despite a thorough investigation, no gas leak was found.

Engineers were back yesterday and will return today to double-check.

One resident who contacted The Argus said: “There was a really strong smell of gas in our home.

“We had to leave while the engineers checked everything over. They couldn’t find any trace of gas but you could really smell it.

“It was quite scary. People were worried there was going to be an explosion.”

A SGN spokesman said the smell was most probably down to what is known as a gas cloud.

This is when people think they smell gas but it isn’t gas.

It may be because of a certain way the wind was blowing, or other factors such as ships on the English Channel or chemicals from factories and other buildings.

If a member of the public smells gas or is worried about gas safety, they should call 0800 111 999.

Report: Seven killed in explosion at Iran steel factory

Iran's state broadcaster IRIB reports blast rocked factory in central province of Yazd; official says incident was under investigation.

An explosion at a steel production complex in central Iran killed seven workers including foreigners, the semi-official Fars news agency quoted a senior local official in Yazd province as saying on Monday.

"The explosion at the Ghadir Steel plant led to the deaths of seven people and the serious injuries of 12 others who have been transferred to hospital for treatment," said Yazd's
governor Azizulah Seifi.

"It happened on Sunday and caused the death of a number of foreign workers," he said, without elaborating on the number and nationality of the foreigners killed.

Seifi said the cause of the explosion had not been unidentified and an investigation was under way.

"The plant belongs to the private sector and its directors and officials have been summoned... experts are trying to determine the cause of the incident," Seifi said.

Last month, a mysterious blast rocked Isafahn in western Iran and reportedly damaged a key nuclear facility in the city.

Haaretz cited Iranian media as reporting that an explosion was heard near Isfahan, home to a uranium conversion plant operational since 2004.

A newly vacated home in a Cleveland neighborhood exploded early Saturday morning.

Neighbors were woken from their slumber around 2 a.m. when a home located at 10721 Grandview Avenue exploded and then caught on fire.

According to the Cleveland Fire Department, there were no injuries reported.

The gas company visited the home later in the day investigating the cause of the blast. In the meantime, the home will be demolished for safety measures. The site will roped off and patrolled until then.

Two hours later, another home in the area was fully engulfed in flames.

The second home was located at 11110 Mt. Overlook. Cleveland Fire Department's Lt. Larry Gray says the fire was caused by a squatter who was cooking and keeping warm in the empty house.

Lt. Gary warns with colder weather on the horizon, residents could see more explosions and house fires in the city's vacant homes. "That's why we need the community's support, to help us watch for situations like that...and if they see it...make that call to the police department" says Lt. Gary.

Mum severely burnt in massive explosion

DESTROYED: The remains of a granny flat in Nuhaka, north of Wairoa, destroyed in a large gas explosion which severely burnt a woman on Saturday. PHOTO/PAUL TAYLOR HBT104634-01

A Hawke's Bay mother is in Middlemore Hospital with severe burns after a huge gas explosion destroyed the house she was standing in on Saturday.

The Nuhaka woman, in her 30s, had just flicked the switch on a gas oven in her mother's granny flat to bake a cake.

"She went to put a cake in the oven and it blew when she flicked the switch," Nuhaka chief fire officer Robert Wesche said.
The flat was destroyed instantly.
"It was a heck of a bang - it shook the houses around here. Bits and pieces and glass were strewn 100m away. There must have been a fair bit of gas to make a bang like that."
The woman had crossed the road to bake a cake just before the 6.35am explosion. Her mother had already left the flat for work.
The flat was beside the house of the injured woman's brother-in-law, Nuhaka volunteer fireman Ian Barber and the impact also smashed his windows and cracked the wall of his house.
"I ran around the house and screamed at her to get out of the house," he said.
"She was dazed and staggering around. I shouted at her to come towards me."
She scrambled to him through the burning wreckage.

"I put her in the shower and told my wife to keep her in there and I got the hose and put it through the window to put extra water on her."
Mr Wesche, who was already awake at his home 200m away, was about to make a cup of tea when he heard the explosion.
The noise was so loud and the jolt of his two-storey house so great he wrongly assumed the explosion was at his next-door neighbours and ran to the fenceline.
"When I looked over my shoulder I could see a big plume of smoke," he said.
He drove 600m to the Nuhaka Fire Station where his crew had assembled.
"The little bach was flattened. We had to make sure it wouldn't spread to the house."
The rescuers at first thought the woman's son was in the house with her but he was found safe, Mr Wesche said. "Thank God he was asleep back in her home."
The remaining walls and roof structures soon collapsed.
"If Ian hadn't got there she would have been buggered," he said. "He probably saved her life."
Mr Barber denied being a hero.
"I was just doing what anyone else would have done. Because I am a fireman I knew I shouldn't go into the house alone so I called her out."
He said it was lucky there was no wind at the time or the flames might have claimed Mr Barber's house.
"It was thanks to Wairoa and Mahia (fire services) who were here quick with their tankers that the flames did not spread."
Mr Wesche said the fire service and gas company were investigating. A large gas cylinder was strewn on the ground beside the building.
"This is a wake up call for everyone around here. The building was only two years old."

No one hurt during house explosion on South Side

Authorities said no one was injured when a house was "flattened" during a gas explosion in the Burnside neighborhood on the South Side this afternoon. 

It happened about 4:35 p.m. in the 600 block of East 87^th Place, according to Gresham District Police Lt. Brent Fidler.

Fidler said the home was vacant and no one was injured during the "gas explosion.''

The house was left "flattened,'' according to a witness.

You know the answer. Shattered caverns now storing oil, so it leaks, and ruined distribution lines, refineries exploding and burning, etc.

James Lechago said:

Nancy, I have a practical question for the Zetas concerning fuel supplies after the 7 of 10 adjustment.  So much of our oil and refining comes through or occurs on the gulf coast.  What will happen to the availability of fuel after the New Madrid fault adjustment?  Even much of the US strategic supplies reside off shore underground if I recall correctly.  I remember that the zetas said that Houston and the land below Houston all the way to Galveston will be devastated with land sinking and rising.

ZetaTalk about how pipelines and refineries are vulnerable and will be affected by earth movement

http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta437.htm

There will be increasing stress along the fault lines associated with the New Madrid fault line, up until a significant adjustment is made. Before a large quake occurs, there are minor adjustments, a type of snapping here and there of weak links while the major links still hold. Stretch stench in Indiana is a symptom of such minor adjustments. Pipelines of course are very vulnerable as they are not flexible, and the design of pipelines and refineries assumes the ground below to be stable.

http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta540.htm

"What caused the explosion? Puerto Rico is just to the south of a highly active fault line between the N American Plate and the Caribbean Plate, resulting in slip-slide action and subduction. Steady pressure distorts a landmass, putting pressure on piping anchored to the land, such as exist at fuel storage facilities. Fuel tanks are huge and heavy, and thus not flexible. When the landmass shifts, the piping is what twists and finally snaps. When this occurs in water mains under streets, there are increased water main breaks, such as has been occurring in San Diego and LA and Maryland. When this occurs in gas lines under the streets, explosions occur, because it takes just a spark from metal parts rubbing against each other during the snap to cause an explosion. This is likewise true of refineries or fuel storage tanks. Breaking pipes not only snap, they create sparks, and thus the explosion. As the Earth changes pick up, these types of incidences will become more frequent."

http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta155.htm

"Confused investigators look for reasons for disasters that have their etiology in Earth quietly pulled apart, rock flakes pulled away, rather than pressed together, so that no quakes occur. The stretch zone is that sinking feeling, where support weakens, the ground sinks, and silently so. Thus gas and water mains explode, because the ground under them shifts, factories or refineries with gas line joints firmly sealed explode as these joints are pulled apart, and bridges fall as their mooring lose their firm footing. What also happens when rock flakes are pulled apart is that any underground reservoirs of gas or water lose their firm cap, and vent. In the case of the London explosion, the rumbling heard by witnesses ahead of the explosion was certainly not terrorism, but the ground adjusting, and more than the ground adjusted. Fittings in the refinery adjusted, metal on metal scraping into sparks, and boom!"

Why does the USA keep adding to the "Strategic Oil Reserves" every week/day at current high prices? You would think that if they stopped or signal the intent to stop it would drive prices lower. I assume they dont want lower prices. Your thoughts.

The Bush administration has presumed it will be driven out of Iraq. The US military has likewise refused repeatedly to invade Venezuela and attempting to overthrow Chavez or assassinate him has not worked out for the Bush White House. Thus, they are faced with having to contemplate the coming pole shift with only the oil fields on the N American continent under their control. A foolish move by the Bush White House has been to pump oil into the caverns off shore of Texas in the Gulf. These salt cav

Hillsborough residents evacuated over explosion fears

RESIDENTS were evacuated from their homes in Hillsborough last night over fears that a gas cylinder might explode after a garage caught fire.

Some went to stay with friends and relatives but around 50 were provided with emergency accommodation in Sheffield’s City Hall.

They were allowed back into their homes at around 7am when firefighters left the scene after checking that the acetylene cylinder they had been worried about had cooled down enough.

An investigation into the cause of the blaze on Cotswold Road is underway but it is not being treated as suspicious.

Crews were called to the incident ay 11.20pm last night.

The blast ripped through the Qing-Feng Steamed Dumpling Shop at Zuyuanxi street in Haidian district about 9:00 am, showering bystanders with debris.

Seven employees who were hurt in the accident were sent to the hospital, but they did not receive life-threatening injuries, according to the newspaper.

No customers were injured by the blast, it added.

Beijing Fire Bureau said on Weibo later that the explosion was triggered by a gas leak in the shop, and police are investigating the case.
