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

Greensboro police: Electrical problem causes two manholes to explode downtown
Two manholes went shooting skyward in downtown Greensboro on Sunday night. The Greensboro Police Department sent out the following release shortly after 11 p.m.:Two explosions in the vicinity of 111 W. Washington St. that sent manhole covers skyward appear to be caused by a problem with underground electrical wiring, according to Greensboro Fire Department officials.
Multiple callers notified GM 911 of an explosion by the Biltmore Hotel at approximately 8:31 pm. Witnesses stated a nearby manhole cover was sent in to the air. A second man hole cover on the same street exploded approximately 10 minutes later.
Fire officials, representatives from Duke Power, and members of the City’s Water and Sewer Department are continuing to investigate the cause of the explosions. Preliminary indicators point to an electrical issue.
Greensboro police quickly evacuated the Biltmore Hotel and the Carolina Theater as officials were in the early stages of assessing the damage and trying to pinpoint the cause of the explosions.
No one was injured in the incident. Several vehicles and the exterior of the Biltmore Hotel were damaged.
Two Hazardous Devices Teams are also on scene as a precautionary measure.
Police have blocked off portions of W. Washington St. and Greene St. until officials have established the precise cause of the incident and have determined that the area is safe.

Gas pipeline explosions bring new US safety proposal (3/17/16)
U.S. officials moved Thursday to strengthen safety rules for the nation's 300,000-mile network of natural gas transmission pipelines in a belated response to numerous fiery accidents...
The Department of Transportation proposal would expand inspection and repair rules to include lines in some rural areas and recently-installed lines in burgeoning gas drilling fields.
Pressure-testing for leaks would be required on older lines that were previously exempt...
But the government sidestepped for now action on emergency valves that can automatically shut down ruptured gas lines. That issue was highlighted by San Bruno, where a 30-inch-diameter pipeline buried beneath a suburban street continued spewing gas for 95 minutes after it broke, destroying 38 homes and damaging 70 others before a utility worker manually shut it down.
The Associated Press has reported on the potential benefits of automatic valves, and safety officials have urged making them mandatory. The gas industry has resisted, in part due to their potential high cost.
In the past two decades, the government has recorded more than 2,000 accidents on gas transmission lines across the U.S., resulting in 46 deaths, 181 injuries and $1.8 billion in damages.
...They would bring under federal regulation for the first time roughly 70,000 miles of "gathering lines" that transport fuel from gas fields to storage areas or into transmission systems, officials said.
...the agency has identified 7,400 miles of pipe that have never been assessed for problems.

a massive fire following a pipeline explosion roars through a mostly residential neighborhood in San Bruno, Calif. U.S. officials are moving to strengthen natural gas pipeline safety rules following decades of fiery accidents including the 2010 California explosion that killed 8 people and injured more than 50.

Spain: 2 killed in fishing port ice factory blast
Posted: Mar 14, 2016 11:31 AM EST Updated: Mar 14, 2016 12:11 PM EST Associated Press
MADRID (AP) - Spanish police say at least two people have been killed and one person has been reported missing following an explosion at an ice factory in the northern Basque fishing port of Ondarroa. A Basque regional police spokesman said the blast occurred Monday afternoon in the factory located in the town's port area. The officer said it was believed the factory's ammonia gas compressors blew up, but the cause of the blast wasn't yet known. The officer said the factory made ice for fish storage in the town. There were no immediate details on how many people were in the factory at the time. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity because of police rules preventing him from being named.

One dead, six wounded in Gabon oil site explosion: govt
Libreville (AFP) - One person was killed and six wounded in an explosion at an oil site in southwest Gabon run by a subsidiary of Chinese energy giant Sinopec, officials said.
The explosion on Saturday sparked a huge fire at the site, where some 2,000 barrels of oil were being stored in a tank.
"An explosion happened at an oil collection and export site in east Obangue, under the Dinonga-Irondou licence, operated by the company Addax Petroleum Oil & Gas Gabon," petrol and hydrocarbons minister Etienne Dieudonne Ngoubou said in a statement.
The fire is being put out and authorities were investigating the cause of the incident, the statement added.
Rescuers found the body of one worker at the site on Sunday morning, while four people were admitted to hospital in Port-Gentil and Libreville with second and third-degree burns.
Two more people suffered less serious burns, the statement added.
Obangue has been at the heart of a years-long standoff between Gabon's government and Sinopec subsidiary Addax Petroleum, which was barred from operating in December 2012 for failing to meet tax, customs and environmental obligations.
For a while the public Gabon Oil Company was the only company licensed to operate in the oil rich region, but the Sinopec subsidiary was allowed to restart operations in 2014.
Gabon produces around 230,000 barrels of oil per day, accounting for some 60 percent of state earnings.

One person was injured when an explosion at a Pasadena refinery sent plumes of smoke into the air and first responders scrambling to the scene Saturday morning.
The fire started at the Pasadena Refinery System plant at 10:15 AM at the hydrogen desulfurization unit. Mark Berlinger, health and safety manager for the company, said the fire was contained and the facility was in a "safe condition."
...The injured worker was taken to the hospital for flash burns to his hand. Berlinger said the worker was responsive at the scene and talking to co-workers.
...The company has a long history of safety and pollution violations, including a previous December 2011 explosion and $1.1 million in fines since 2010 from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
...The company has been under fire for years for a series of issues. A key federal operating permit lapsed in 2014. The plant is technically operating illegally without that permit.
...It's had seven emission events reported to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality since last October. The company had 60 such events since 2005.
...Saturday's fire started when workers were starting a compressor and hydrogen was released and diesel fuel in the apparatus caught fire. Officials did not offer further details about the cause.
