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

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

Haxby (N.Yorks. UK) explosion: Man aged 63 killed in huge blast which flattened house on suburban street

House just exploded in Haxby on Springwood. There's just nothing left

@Uncle_Bob85

Residents reported hearing an explosion at around 7.30am.

A detached home has been left a pile of rubble, while neighbouring homes are also damaged with windows blown out and debris on the street.

"The house has been completely flattened. It sounded as if a bus or something had crashed into a house, or like an aeroplane crash," he said.

"All the properties adjacent to the one that's blown up have got damaged windows and garages."

Bus driver Tom Holland, 28, who lives near to the explosion, said: "I live under a mile away from where it happened.

"Somewhere between 7.25am and 7.30am I felt a shockwave. It was like an earthquake.

"The whole room shook for a second. I've seen on social media that it has been felt in other parts of York too.

"I went down to the scene to have a look at. The stench down there is unbelievable and there is loads of smoke.

"The house that exploded is completely gone. It is just pile of rubbish.

"It has shattered windows from a number of houses each side of it and I saw at least one car that had its windows blown out.

"The cul-de-sac is closed and everyone who has been evacuated from their houses is standing outside.

Chemical explosion in Clinton now targeted by Workplace Health

ACID is thought to have set off the explosion inside a laboratory cupboard at Clinton, which is used by a chemical testing company.

And Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) yesterday launched an investigation into the cause of the explosion - and if safety procedures were followed - in the early hours of Thursday morning at Intertek, a company providing gas quality testing services to the region's major LNG producers.

The explosion occurred in a laboratory described by Gladstone fire station officer Graham Smith as a "room within a room" which is believed to have contained the inital blast.

But firefighters still rushed staff - who had just arrived at work to find the explosion - out of the "the immediate area" to the building's office section "until we investigated".

He said when the "owner" of the building wasn't able to decipher what chemical was behind the explosion, fire fighters worked to "isolate which one had failed".

"To do that, we had two fire fighters in chemical suits take a photograph of the cabinet and after a process of elimination it was determined it was an acid spill," he said.

"It's still unknown what caused the initial explosion.

"Everyone's bemused or confused about why it's occurred."

But WHSQ has sent in its own inspectors.

"These are procedures that need to be followed through. Where it's in a workplace and an incident like that happens - particularly with chemicals involved," a WHSQ spokesman said.

"They'll be having a look at all aspects. I can't comment on what they'll be having a look at. But they'll be looking at why, what, all those sort of things."

In a statement, Intertek said it "had taken all possible precautions to protect staff" and was working closely with WHSQ through its investigation.

Gas explosion in Dominican Republic injures 40, levels homes

Early morning explosions rocked an LPG distribution station in a densely populated neighborhood of the Dominican Republic's capital Tuesday, destroying several homes and injuring at least 40 people, officials said.

Soldiers and Civil Defense workers used dogs to find survivors in the ruins of the buildings but determined everyone was accounted for as crews started clearing debris from the area in the Los Rios community in the northern part of Santo Domingo.

Fire Chief Oscar Garcia said the 40 victims were hospitalized and officials were investigating what caused the explosion at the Solgas station. Six people taken to one nearby hospital had burns on up to 50 percent of their body, said Eddy Bruno, burn unit director at the Luis Eduardo Aybar hospital.

Onlookers stood on rooftops to observe blown-out doors and windows, downed power lines and crumpled cars, including one that had a woman's sandal on its hood.

Neighbors had streamed out of their homes around dawn because they smelled gas, and the first explosion occurred shortly afterward, around 6 a.m.

"It was horrible. We took off running," said Maria Casilda Bonilla, who was in her second-floor apartment with a 22-year-old son.

A second explosion occurred about 40 minutes later, leveling a three-story building owned by Eleno Olivares. He lived in the building with his wife, six children and one young grandchild, and he rented the other units to a dozen other people who also made it out safely except for one who was burned when he tried to rescue some belongings.

"What can I do?" Olivares told The Associated Press as he observed the debris. "I'm happy because all my children and grandchildren are safe."

Authorities have evacuated the area to inspect buildings for safety and determine what caused the explosion.

Solgas officials did not return a call for comment.

Fire at Christchurch power station, reports of explosion

Witnesses have described hearing three huge explosions and seeing towering fireballs at a Christchurch power sub-station today.

Hei Hei resident Jenee Pullen, 34, was watching a movie with one-yea old son TJ Roberts with the curtains pulled to block the 30C heat when the explosions happened across the road at the station.

"We just heard bang bang bang," she said.

"I thought a passing truck had dropped something.

"But when I had a look outside saw smoke and fireballs. It was a pretty big fire.

"You could feel the heat from the flames."

Unsure what to do, she then heard someone outside yell, "It's gonna blow!"

She rushed outside to ask police and Transpower officials if she should evacuate.

They reassured her that the transformer was protected by blast walls and that the blaze was contained.

"It seems under control now," she said.

A fire service spokesman confirmed the blaze at Transpower's Islington Substation on the city's Roberts Rd was an oil fire.

The fire was extinguished at 3pm today.

The billowing dark grey smoke turned to white clouds before clearing altogether, within minutes.

The Roberts Rd cordon has now also been lifted.

Shift manager Brett Dunn said the fire had produced a lot of smoke, but was in a "secure location" meaning it was unlikely to spread.

Fire crews were brought in from throughout the city to help battle the blaze using foam. There were seven fire crew at the scene.

Mr Dunn said there have been no reports of injuries.

The fire was called in by multiple members of the public about 1.30pm, and there had been reports of an explosion, Mr Dunn said.

The fire follows a 5.7 magnitude earthquake that struck the city yesterday.

A Transpower spokeswoman said the fire had broken out in an enclosed area, which was immediately isolated to prevent further damage to the substation.

She said power supply had not been affected by the fire, and Transpower staff were at the scene.

The company would be investigating the cause, but the spokeswoman was unable to say what may have sparked the fire.

Edward O'Driscoll saw black smoke billowing from the substation about 1.30pm, as he was driving along Christchurch's Main South Rd.

He said other witnesses had reported hearing an explosion.

He did not see flames and said by about 2pm he could no longer see smoke in the area.

"Traffic was backed up, I think there were quite a few sight seers watching," Mr O'Driscoll said.

1 dead in feed mill explosion in Rockmart

POLK COUNTY, Ga. —

One person was killed and several others were injured when an explosion hit a feed mill in Rockmart early Sunday morning.

The Rockmart City Manager told Channel 2’s Steve Gelhbach that one person was killed, one flown to Grady Memorial Hospital, two taken to a local hospital, two people to another local hospital and two other people refused treatment.

The coroner confirmed the victim is 25-year-old Justin Deems.

Justin Deems' mother, Rita Deems, says her son was a husband for only six months before his death.

“From what we believe to be a natural gas explosion of some type within the structure," said Tony Brazier.

Other employees and former workers tell us it may have been a dust explosion from fine particles from the corn and grain stored at the facility and used to make the feed. All of the particles could have ignited.

Eight people were working overnight at the time of the explosion.

Several residents called Channel 2 reporting that they felt the explosion from the JCG feed mill around 2:30 a.m.

"I thought it was a sonic boom. That's the first thing that came in my mind, or an earthquake. I had no clue what it was," said Denise Wilson, who works near the feed mill.

Deems says the explosion shook her house just a mile and a half away in Polk County.

Biodiesel plant explosion in Spain kills two, seriously injures one

Source: Xinhua   2016-02-07 05:16:58

MADRID, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- Two people were killed and another seriously injured in an explosion in a biodiesel plant in the town of Algemesi in east Spain on Saturday.

The explosion happened around 11:00 a.m. local time in an industrial estate on the outskirts of Algemesi, 33 km south of Spanish port city Valencia.

The two victims were workers who were reportedly to be in their 40s, while the injured person had burns on 80 percent of his body, according to Marta Trenzano, the mayor of Algemesi.

The cause of the explosion has not yet been found. Some believe the accident could be caused by people soldering a storage silo, which contained residual flammable gas.

Local authority has declared Monday as a day of mourning for the victims.

Explosion at refinery in Iran’s Lavan Island after gas leak

A gas leak caused an explosion at a refinery in Lavan Island in southern Iran on Wednesday, the Fars news agency reported, a day before the launch of six new projects there.

The incident caused no casualties, the agency said, but the launch of the projects had been cancelled after the explosion.

Lavan Island has one of the major export terminals for crude oil in Iran.

“The incident happened due to a gas leak in a new petroleum refining unit that was supposed to be launched tomorrow,” Iran’s deputy oil minister, Abbas Kazemi was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA on Wednesday.

The oil ministry’s news agency, SHANA, reported that compressor failure at the refinery was to blame for the explosion, and that it would be fixed in next 10 days.

The agency said the explosion had only affected a small part of the refinery and the rest was operational.
