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

LA SALLE COUNTY, Texas - Two people were injured Tuesday morning in an explosion and fire at an energy industry site in La Salle County.
Daniel Mendez, acting chief of La Salle Fire Rescue & EMS, said the victims were transported by air ambulance to San Antonio. Mendez said the victims being airlifted to a hospital "should not be interpreted as injuries having been severe or life threatening." Brad Fisher, Chief Operating Officer, of Carrizo Oil & Gas, which owns the tanks, said the victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Mendez said the incident was reported around 10:50 a.m. at the Ledwig Ranch between Millett and Dilley.
Mendez said when fire crews arrived, they found several oil storage tanks fully engulfed in flames. He said it appeared "an initial blast at the scene had extinguished itself and that peripheral fires remained."
Firefighters allowed the fire to die down and created an exclusion area of a quarter-mile mile around the tanks.
A new tank was being built where the explosion and fire occurred, but no residual oil was believed to have been in the tank.
The Texas Railroad Commission and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will help local fire officials determine a cause.
No residential areas or schools were evacuated.

BARSTOW, Calif. (AP) - Southern California authorities say nobody was hurt when a natural gas line caught fire and exploded, destroying heavy construction equipment in the western Mojave Desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
The San Bernardino Sun reports (http://bit.ly/2yjriLr ) the blast was reported Sunday just south of Interstate 40, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) east of Barstow.
A Newberry Springs area 30-inch natural gas line caught fire, exploded and destroyed heavy equipment in an isolated area south of the 40 Freeway, according to tweets from San Bernardino County Fire Department.
The incident was reported at 10:44 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 1, according to Ryan Vaccaro, San Bernardino County Fire Department public information officer.
“The cause is still under investigation,” he said. “There was a crew working in the area, however they don’t know the cause.”
A crew member did smell an odor that indicated gas and the crew of about 16 workers was immediately evacuated, he said. No injuries were reported.
Photos from the scene showed a crater in the ground and burnt equipment.
The fire also spread to sparse vegetation in a 5- to 7-acre area.
Christine Detz, a Southern California Gas Co., spokeswoman, wrote in an email that it was the utility’s pipeline. Authorities had early identified it as belonging to Southwest Gas.
Detz said the company became aware at 10:42 a.m. of “a drop in pressure” within the gas transmission line and that crews were on site to investigate.

MUSCATINE — The Gerdau steel mill in Wilton has temporarily suspended operations following an explosion that occurred Wednesday night.
Three employees and one contractor were injured in the explosion and taken to local hospitals. Two of the employees have been released so far, according to a news release.
Gerdau Ameristeel said it is working with local authorities to investigate the incident and determine its cause.
Human Resources Manager Shannon Langenberg said the explosion occurred in the plant's shop where steel is melted, on West 3rd Street in Wilton.
And while she could not comment on damage done to the facility, she said "driving by, you can see the melt shop, most of it is exposed right at the moment."
In the new release, spokesperson Shai Johnson said, "Gerdau's priority is attending to the injured, their families and employees at the Iowa plant."
He said the company has activated its Employee Assistance Program to help the employees and their families.
The Wilton steel mill employs 220 people, Langenberg said. According to the company's website, the Wilton mill went into operation in 1976 and was originally owned by North Star Steel.
Around 2004, Gerdau Ameristeel, of Canada, purchased the fixed assets and working capital of four North Star mills, including the Wilton plant.
Gerdau, which was founded in Brazil in 1901, is the leading company in the production of long steel in North and South America, as well as one of the major suppliers of specialty long steel in the world.
The Gerdau Ameristeel plant in Wilton is one of 18 steel mills operated by the company in North America. It focuses on long steel and other products, including beams and piling, merchant bar quality and wire rod products. The company serves the construction, automotive, agricultural and energy markets.
Last month, Gerdau reported that in the second quarter of this year, the company posted net sales of $9.2 billion, down 11 percent from the same period a year ago. Gerdau, however, saw a 49 percent increase in its profit margin from the previous year— not including interest and taxes— at all of the North American long steel plants, including in Wilton.

CARLSBAD, N.M. – Three people are dead following an apparent explosion at a Caza Petroleum Lease Corporation battery tank plant near Carlsbad Friday morning, according to officials from the Eddy County Sheriff’s Office.
The identities of those individuals are not yet being released, according to ECSO Spokesperson Lt. Matt Hutchinson, but he said they are believed to be workers.
Deputies responded to the area shortly before 11 a.m., where they found a battery tank engulfed in flames. Hutchinson said multiple county fire agencies battled the blaze, which took nearly three hours to put out.
ECSO is investigating the incident, which didn’t result in any more injuries.
New Mexico State Land Commissioner Aubrey Dunn released the following statement Friday night.
“It is with great sadness that I learned of the tragic accident and loss of life on State Trust Lands in Eddy County. On behalf of the State Land Office, I offer my deepest condolences to the families of the victims.”
Hutchinson said battery tanks are used to measure and test the volume of oil before it is pumped into a pipeline.
