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.

SOZT

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

Blasts ripped through a restaurant in north China's Shanxi Province Wednesday night, killing two and injuring over 150 people.

At least 12 others were severely wounded, safety watchdog in the city of Shuozhou said.

The explosion of natural gas pipes was suspected to be the cause of the accident after an initial investigation.

The city has established special groups for rescue, medical treatment and investigation work.

Among the 155 injured, dozens are fire fighters as they were at the scene when the final blow occurred.

Three trucks of local fire-fighting brigade were damaged, according to a Xinhua report at site.

Witnesses said they heard the explosions around 9:20 p.m., and they also smelled gas.

The two-story building housing the restaurant showed signs of having caught fire, and glass of nearby buildings was scattered on the streets.

Gas line explosion near Enon

Posted: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 12:33 pm | Updated: 12:34 pm, Tue Jun 18, 2013.

A gas line explosion was reported in Washington Parish Tuesday morning, Chief Deputy Mike Haley, spokesman for the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office, said the explosion happened about 5:30 a.m. at a location off Thigpen Road near Enon.

It is now known that a portion of the pipeline passing through that area exploded, damaging several homes and causing an estimated 75 residences to be evacuated.

Haley said it is still unknown what caused the explosion, but the gas has been cutoff from the line.

The main fire has been put out, and residual gas left in the line was being burned off as off 8 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Haley said there have been no injuries reported as to his knowledge and HAZMAT crews were still on the scene.

A major electrical line goes through the pipeline right-of-way and was severely damaged in the explosion, leaving a large chunk of Washington Parish, including some of the town of Franklinton, without electricity.

Haley said he talked to the resident living in the home closest to where the explosion occurred.

The siding on one side of that mobile home is completely melted off, Haley said. The resident there told Haley she was lying on her couch when she heard the explosion, and it knocked her off the couch and onto the floor. She told Haley her front door was too hot to touch but she was able to exit through the back of the home and fled in her vehicle.

He most of the other residents in the area also left before being asked to.

Haley described the 30-40 acres surrounding the explosion area as “scorched earth.”

Postville explosion injures 3 and shocks Iowa; cause unknown

A Postville, Iowa explosion early Monday morning at the Norplex Laminates manufacturing plant in the 600 block of Lybrand Street shocked residents and caused up to $7 million in damage,

The Postville explosion at the Norplex-Micarta laminate manufacturing plant was reported at 1:20 a.m. on Monday and injured three workers, one seriously. The critically injured worker was standing near a machine that exploded and was airlifted to the burn unit at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. Another injured worker was treated and released from a local hospital, and a third injured worker refused treatment.

The building's sprinkler system was activated and helped to keep the fire from spreading. However, blue smoke was reportedly rushing out of the facility when firefighters arrived. Building personnel also shut off gas valves and boilers to help keep the fire under control. Said Chris Dahlstrom, the Allamakee County emergency management coordinator, "The building is specially made so that if something falters, [the fire] will go up through the roof."

The Postville explosion is the latest in a series of explosions around the country within a week. Last week, a gas leak in Westminster, Colo. injured two and damaged homes, and an explosion at Williams Olefins chemical plant in Geismar, La. killed one and injured 60 people. A few days ago, another blast at a nitrogen plant in Donaldsonville, La. killed one and injured seven. The Norplex-Micarta explosion caused up to $7 million in damage to the plant, and the cause is still under investigation.

In a statement, plant manager Alan Johnson said that "prayers are with our employees and their families". He also added that the company is still waiting on an update on the condition of the most seriously injured worker.

Plains Midstream Spill: Company Responds To Natural Gas Pipeline Leak

CP  |  By The Canadian Press Posted: 06/15/2013 8:13 pm EDT  |  Updated: 06/16/2013 12:21 pm EDT

MANNING, Alta. - A pipeline company is dealing with a new spill in Alberta.

Plains Midstream Canada says it is responding to a leak on its Kemp natural gas pipeline system approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Manning, Alberta.

The company says the leak involves condensate, a liquid obtained by condensation of a gas or vapor.

The company says the system is 79 kilometres long and transports condensate and other natural gas liquids, which it says are a byproduct of processed natural gas.

Plains Midstream says it doesn't know yet how much condensate escaped or what caused it, but it says the line has been shut down.

Earlier this month, provincial regulators estimate nearly 10 million litres of waste water containing salt, oil and other minerals spilled from Apache Canada Limited's pipeline near Zama City.

Greenpeace Canada spokesperson Mike Hudema says spills are happening too often and that the government is failing to protect the environment and communities.

One person killed in second plant incident in two days in Louisiana parish

WVLA-TV

The CF Industries plant in Donaldsonville,  La., is just 30 miles south of Geismar, where a chemical plant explosion killed two people Thursday, June 13.

A container ruptured at a Louisiana nitrogen plant Friday night, killing one person and injuring at least seven others, the company said — just a day after an explosion at a chemical plant killed two people in the same parish.

Louisiana State Police told NBC News that three of the injured were in critical condition.

The plant's owner, CF Industries of Deerfield, Ill., said the incident occurred about 6 p.m. (7 p.m. ET) at its facility in Donaldsonville, roughly halfway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. "There was no fire or chemical release nor is there any threat or hazard posed to the community," it said.

Ascension Parish Sheriff Jeff Wiley and plant manager Lou Frey said at a news conference Friday night that the rupture — which initially was reported as an explosion — was caused by workers who overpressurized a nitrogen vessel they were filling from a truck at CF Industries in Donaldsonville.

"There was no explosion, no fire," Frey said.

Wiley said it was "like a balloon popping."

Federal records show that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration fined CF Industries, one of the world's biggest nitrogen fertilizer producers, about $150,000 for safety and health violations after a fire and explosion killed three people at the Donaldsonville plant in 2000. It cited 12 violations posing "substantial probability" of serious injury or death. 

The blast Friday occurred just a day after an explosion and fire at the Williams Olefins chemical plant in Geismar, just 30 miles north of Donaldsonville, killed two people and injured more than 70 others. State Police confirmed the second death Friday.

"The irony of back-to-back incidents has not escaped us," Wiley, said. "We express our sincere condolences to the families of the deceased and injured."

Azhar Fateh of NBC News contributed to this report.

Three people were critically injured Tuesday morning in Montgomery County after a house exploded in the community of Dobbin, scattering debris for half a mile.

Eight-month-old Wyatt Mock was flown to UTMB-Galveston for treatment of severe head trauma and burns to 56 percent of his body, according to family member Corbin Mock.

The infant's grandmother Jennifer Mock, 58, and his great-aunt Lena Knight, 65, were transported by helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital. Both women were in critical condition in the John S. Dunn Burn Center, the hospital confirmed Tuesday night.

A UTMB-Galveston spokesman declined to provide the child's condition, citing federal privacy rules relating to children.

Fire Marshal Jimmy Williams said the blast was felt as far away as Lake Conroe and Willis.

"People were finding things from the house on top of the grocery store, in trees, and at least a half a mile away," said Corbin Mock.

Explosion destroys Huntingburg gas storage facility

Posted: Jun 10, 2013 9:30 PM CDT Updated: Jun 10, 2013 9:43 PM CDT

DUBOIS CO., IN (WFIE) -

A dehydration facility at the Huntingburg gas storage field has been destroyed by an explosion. 

The facility that is located southwest of the city along South County Road 500 West, was destroyed on Monday in the explosion that happened around 6:50 p.m. EST. 

Officials say the building was completely engulfed in flames when the Holland Volunteer Fire Department arrived. Huntingburg utility crews arrived on the scene and shut off the lines feeding the facility, which reduced the flames and allowed firefighters to control the blaze.

Officials say no one was injured in the explosion. 

Gas service to Huntingburg gas customers was not affected, but local customers near the facility were without service for a short time. Service has been restored.

Officials tell us the gas storage field has been capped and is secure.

The cause of the explosion has not yet been determined. The state fire marshal will be on the scene to investigate Tuesday morning.
