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

'Explosion' heard, 1000 homes lose power in Palmerston North

FAIRFAX NZ

Palmerston North's fire service attended a call after a "big explosion" was heard near the suburb of Kelvin Grove.

Equipment failure at a Powerco substation saw about 1000 Palmerston North homes lose power on Monday evening.

Fire communication shift manager Mike Wanoa said one person called 111 after a "big explosion was heard in the vicinity of Kelvin Grove".

Power was cut to about 1000 customers around Palmerston North following equipment failure at Powerco's Kelvin Grove substation about 5pm, Powerco network operations manager Phil Marsh said.

The power supply was restored to customers throughout the evening - with all power back on by 8.50pm on Monday, he said.

The cause of the equipment failure was being investigated.

A fire engine from Milson attended the scene, staying for about half an hour while waiting for the power company to arrive, Wanoa said.

A methane gas explosion happened at a coal mine in western Ukraine. At least eight miners have been killed and dozens remain unaccounted for, local authorities reported.

The explosion happened at the Stepnaya mine in Lvov region.

The local emergency service put the number of fatalities at eight, with six workers escaping with injuries and 20 still unaccounted for. It added that of the 172 miners at the site, 34 worked in the shaft affected by the explosion.

A union head put the number of the dead at 11. 

There is a disaster at Stepnaya. Methane explosion. 11 dead,” Mihaylo Volinets, the head of the independent miners union of Ukraine, wrote on Facebook. 

The mine is part of Lvovugol, and has been in operation since 1978. It is rated as highly dangerous due to the high amounts of methane gas in the coal mined there.

Ukraine is currently in a state of emergency in the energy sector due to a shortage of coal needed for electricity and central heating.

Explosion at Oklahoma gas well critically injured 3 people

By The Associated Press | 
 

WAGONER, Okla. (AP) - Four people were injured when a private natural gas well exploded in eastern Oklahoma.

Wagoner County Emergency Manager Heath Underwood says the explosion happened on Thursday night as contract workers were repairing a gas line near Wagoner, about 125 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.

Underwood says three workers were critically injured and two of them were flown from the scene by air ambulance.

The Tulsa World reports the gas line had been damaged by a truck earlier in the day.

Underwood says emergency responders cut off the gas line to the well and allowed the fire to burn out. Firefighters were able to contain the blaze despite high-risk wildfire conditions that sparked a grassfire in nearby Coweta.

Four die in Rivers gas explosion

25 February 2017   |   4:25 am

About four persons have been confirmed dead in the explosion that occurred at a gas pipeline belonging to the Nigerian Agip Oil Company in Evekwu community in Emohua Council of Rivers State.

While counting their losses yesterday, residents of the communities, blamed the incident on neglect by the oil firm. They lamented that the company had failed to carry out maintenance of its equipment as stipulated by law, alleging that the explosion may have resulted due to bad leakages.

Speaking, Chris Idika, one of the community leaders in Evekwu, regretted that despite the loss of lives, the incident also destroyed the economic life of the people.

Explosion, fire reported at oil refinery near Los Angeles

TORRANCE, Calif. — An explosion and fire erupted Saturday at a California oil refinery, exactly two years after a blast that crippled the plant and led to higher gasoline prices, authorities said.

No injuries were reported from the Torrance Refining Co. near Los Angeles, and there were no evacuations or damage to any buildings outside the refinery, Assistant Fire Chief Steve Treskes said.

Three dozen firefighters using heavy streams of water battled flames that rose 40 feet in the air, and the fire was knocked down in about 30 minutes, Treskes said.

“All safety systems at the refinery operated properly, and all personnel are safe and accounted for,” Betsy Brien, a spokeswoman for the refinery owner, New Jersey-based PBF Energy Inc., said in a statement.

There was no immediate word on damage or the cause of the blast.

However, most of the refinery continued to operate, Brien said.

The blast came on the anniversary of a Feb. 18, 2015, explosion that slightly injured four contractors, destroyed a large part of the refinery, rocked the neighboring community 20 miles southwest of Los Angeles and sent a fine white ash raining down on nearby homes and cars.

Later in the day, about 400 people gathered at the refinery in a previously planned protest to mark the anniversary and demand a ban on the use of a highly toxic and volatile chemical, modified hydrofluoric acid, the Long Beach Press-Telegram reported (http://bit.ly/2lwBWri ).

The 2015 explosion involved a pollution-control device called a precipitator. Federal regulators later concluded that the explosion could have been prevented if managers had taken into account aging safety equipment and shut down a key, spark-generating part of the refinery before attempting repairs elsewhere.

The blast tossed an 80,000-pound piece of equipment within feet of another unit where tens of thousands of pounds of modified hydrofluoric acid were stored in tanks.

The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board concluded that there was a potential to release a toxic cloud and cause “serious injury or death to many community members.”

California regulators also fined ExxonMobil — then-owner of the refinery — more than $500,000 for safety violations.

Most of the refinery was shut down for more than a year, leading to a shortage of gas that meets California’s stricter pollution regulations and higher prices at the pump.

Two other incidents were reported in the fall of 2015. One involved a leak of modified hydrofluoric acid and the other a leak in a pressurized pipe that created a large steam cloud. No injuries were reported.

The refinery sits on 750 acres and produces 1.8 billion gallons of gasoline a year, which accounts for about 8.3 percent of the state’s total refining capacity.

Six dead in gas explosion at Durban harbour

 / 17 February 2017, 2:07pm

A gas explosion at Durban harbour has claimed the lives of six men.

* This story has been updated.

Durban – Six men have died and 26 were injured in a freak gas leak in a sewer pit at the naval base in Durban harbour on Friday morning.

Paramedics arrived as rescue teams retrieved the bodies of six men from the sewer pit. Paramedics assessed all six men and declared them dead on the scene.

Twenty six others were treated and taken to various hospitals for gas inhilation injuries Of those who died in the "freak accident", three are army officials and three are civilians.

Brigadier-General Mafi Mgobozi said the three South African Defence Force members who died were trying to rescue three contract workers screaming for help at the bottom of a sewage pit after a gas leak. He said workers from the Department of Public Works were working in the sewage pit at the base. 

Read the full statement from the SANDF here

Mgobozi said the soldiers who heard the cries went into the pit to help but they were overcome by the fumes.

"The contract workers were working underground when they started encountering breathing problems. It has now been established that the members succumbed to a methane gas leak in the pit.

"The three uniform members rushed to the pit to try and assist but also succumbed to the harmful gas." 

He said the Military Police and SAPS would investigate.

Thousands lose power in Grant Co. due to substation 'explosion

EPHRATA, Wash. – About 10,000 people were without power in the Grant County area after a reported explosion at Grant County PUD substation.

People in Soap Lake, Quincy and Ephrata were all impacted by the outage. At around 8:00 p.m. Grant County PUD said customers in Quincy and Soap Lake have had their power restored. Crews are still working to restore power to Ephrata. There's no estimation on when power will be restored to Ephrata, though officials did estimate it would take "several hours."

PUD officials said the reported explosion was an arc flash, meaning that there was a fault in the power line. It caused an explosion of light and sparks and multiple fires in the substation yard in Downtown Ephrata at Nat Washington and A Street. They said it last for about 45 seconds and they believe it was due to the weather.

Later, PUD officials said the explosion was caused by equipment failure at one of the substations, specifically the transformer, but they were not sure what caused the equipment failure.

Crews are on scene working to restore power and put out the fires. No injuries were reported.
