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

M56 gas tanker fire: drivers stranded for hours after explosions close motorway in both directions (UK)
Drivers have been getting out of their cars and walking up and down the motorway lanes to get a better look at the incident
Scores of motorists face being stranded for hours on the M56 between Manchester and Chester after a propane gas tanker burst into flames.
Drivers are being advised to avoid the stretch altogether, with traffic at a standstill because of the incident between J12 at Clifton and J14 at Hapsford. A Calor gas tanker caught flames just after 3pm. A 1,600 metre cordon has been set up.
It is understood the tanker driver is uninjured.
Police are advising drivers to avoid the area as both sides of the motorway remain closed.
People living in Helsby are also advised to stay indoors and keep their doors and windows closed.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue said trains have been stopped on both the Manchester to Chester and Ellesmere Port to Helsby lines, while air traffic control have been advised of the incident to make sure that air traffic is stopped over the area.
Jan Bradley, who lives a short distance from the explosion, said: “There were two explosions. The first which sounded like the sound of World War Three breaking out. It shook the house.
“Then a second one, also very loud. I think a lorry carrying some sort of flammable load has exploded on the motorway.
“There helicopters circling my house above. It’s a major incident.”
Calor, the firm whose tanker is on fire on the motorway, said in a statement: "One of our mini bulk tankers caught fire on the M56 this afternoon and we are investigating the cause.

Smoke Seen For Miles After Gas Line Explosion In Weld County
August 6, 2015 2:49 PMWELD COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – Nobody was injured after a gas line explosion in Weld County Thursday afternoon.
The explosion occurred at approximately 2 p.m. northeast of Greeley. The resulting fire is burning is so hot it’s dangerous for crews to get near it. Crews have already had to back away 2 miles because of the fire’s intensity.
The gas line is a 12-inch high pressure line on private property near County Road 63 and Highway 392.
The Weld County Sheriff’s Office says it likely ruptured when someone was digging a trench on the property.
Someone on the property had been reported missing but was later found.
Crews were working on shutting down the line from 2 miles away in hopes of stopping the fire. If not it could burn for hours, even days.
Nobody has claimed responsibility for striking the line yet.
The property is owned by Steve Wells, a man who was featured in an uplifting CBS4 story back in May. Wells bought a fallen deputy’s cruiser at an auction and gave the keys to the deputy’s son.He talked elusively with CBS4’s Kelly Werthmann about why he did it.
Wells declined to comment about the explosion.

Federal Agency Says 33 Injured in Missouri Plant Explosion
Aug 05 2015New Madrid
MARSTON, Mo. - Preliminary investigations indicate molten aluminum hitting water caused explosions that injured more than 30 employees at a southeast Missouri aluminum plant, a federal agency said Wednesday.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the explosions that happened Tuesday at the Noranda Aluminum plant in New Madrid County, about 170 miles south of St. Louis.
Noranda employs about 900 workers in New Madrid County, where the plant serves as the primary aluminum smelter for Franklin, Tennessee-based Noranda.

Molten Metal Explosion at New Madrid Aluminum Plant (Aug 4)
A massive explosion rocked a southeast Missouri aluminum plant Tuesday, injuring some workers and creating a plume of smoke that could be seen for miles.
The explosions happened around 12:30 p.m. at the cast house in Noranda's plant.
A spokesperson said there was at least 400 people on site and about 20 people inside of the cast house when the explosion happened.
According to OSHA, preliminary information indicates that 33 employees were injured at the facility, one was treated for smoke inhalation, 32 for eye irritation and some for ringing of the ears.
New Madrid County Sheriff Terry Stevens said there have been no fatalities.
Mike Downen works at the nearby power plant. He was in his office trailer when he felt what he first thought was an earthquake.
"I thought I was about to die," Downen said.
Downen grabbed his phone and went outside to see a large plume of smoke billowing into the sky.
He said the sound of the explosion was so loud his ears still hurt hours later.
The blast was picked up by the Center for Earthquake Research and Information helicorder in Marston that's used to measure the earthquakes.
According to OSHA, the preliminary cause of the explosion appears to be the result of molten aluminum contacting water.
They said much of the building appears to be demolished at the site where the company manufactures aluminum products.

Lightning blamed for fuel tank explosion at Ohio gas station
Tuesday, August 04, 2015 11:21 PMFAIRFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Investigators say lightning has sparked a fuel tank explosion that left a crater 40 feet wide at an Ohio gas station.
The blast and fire Monday evening prompted a temporary evacuation near the Gas Depot in Fairfield, about 15 miles north of Cincinnati. People nearby described seeing a flash of lightning and then a fireball higher than the trees.
The explosion occurred in one of three underground tanks at the property. WLWT-TV reports two customers were at the station, but no injuries were reported.
Lingering vapors and the possibility that they could ignite caused concern. WCPO-TV reports that workers were expected Tuesday to assess the environmental effects and start cleanup work.
Authorities indicated the remaining tanks might be dug up to determine whether they are compromised.

Factory blast kills seven, injures dozen in Italy's south
Fri Jul 24, 2015 10:9PM

An explosion in a firework factory in southern Italy has claimed the lives of seven people and wounded a dozen more, Italian media say.
The tremendous explosion destroyed the Fireworks Bruscella factory, on the outskirts of Modugno near the southern port of Bari on Italy's Adriatic coast, the Italian newspaper La Stampa reported on Friday.
The blast started with a load of fireworks in a van and caused a series of chain explosions throughout the factory.
Seven workers -- four Italians, two Indians and an Albanian -- lost their lives in the midday blast and several other people sustained injuries, some in critical condition. Michael Bruscella, one of the owners of the factory, is among the wounded.
The explosions, which could be heard kilometers away, completely demolished the family-run factory and scattered the victims’ bodies over an area of tens of meters. It took hours to recover the charred bodies.
According to the Bari prosecutor, Giuseppe Volpe, it would take at least a day for the flames to go out and only then, firefighters would be able to access the site of the explosion.
At this time of the year, many of Italy's small towns celebrate religious festivals with fireworks and the ill-fated factory was in full swing when the blast happened.
The reasons behind the tragic explosion have yet to be investigated.
Back in 1959, the factory was completely rebuilt after a similar incident.
