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

Rosemont rocked by explosion, 5 injured
3 people taken to hospital, crews assessing damage to building on Bélanger Street
CBC News Posted: Sep 28, 2014 12:36 PM ET
Firefighters are working to determine whether a building in Montreal's Rosemont borough is structurally sound after an explosion and fire tore through the building Sunday afternoon, leaving five people injured.
The explosion occurred at around noon at a three-storey, 52-unit rooming house at 1460 Bélanger Street, between Garnier and Fabre streets, on the border of Montreal's Rosemont—La-Petite-Patrie and Villeray boroughs.
The force of the explosion blew out the building's windows.
Five people were injured in the blast, three of whom were taken to hospital.
Bob Lamle of Montreal's Urgences-Santé said two of those taken to hospital were men with first- and second-degree burns to 60 to 70 per cent of their bodies. He said the third victim suffered minor injuries.
One firefighter suffered minor injuries but was not taken to hospital.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire shortly after the explosion.
"Fire is now satisfied, they've done two sweeps of the building and they are confident that there is no one else left in the building," Lamle told CBC News.
Montreal police spokeswoman Lynne Duncan said officers evacuated several nearby buildings and are controlling the crowd.
The cause of the four-alarm incident has not been determined.

Trans Canada Gas Line Ruptures in Rural Michigan (Sept 16)
A view of the scale of the the natural gas leak in Benton Township.
500 people from Berrien County were evacuated after a large natural gas pipeline that runs from Canada to Texas ruptured early Wednesday morning.
Vic Rogers, a farmer that lives just a quarter mile from where the blast occurred, says he heard a loud noise around 2 a.m. and came outside to see a geyser of mud and dirt 200 feet in diameter.
A representative from TransCanada says the line that broke was a large main, 24 to 30 inches in diameter.
Many people claimed they could hear the leak from at least a mile away. One reporter on scene says the noise was like a freight train.
The company does not know what caused the rupture and they say a thorough investigation will be conducted. Results could take weeks if not months.
In the meantime, people are worried about clean-up and about the quality of the water and soil, as the area of the break is now swampy.

Gas explosion in Fier
A gas well at the Verri village of Fier has exploded this Tuesday. The well has released bigger gas quantities very close to residential homes.
More than 15 families have left their houses due to the huge amount of gas. Teaching in the “Vasil Shota” high-school also stopped after students started not feeling well.
“Classes were filled with gas and we couldn’t continue teaching”, one teacher says.
Authorities are on the scene and are trying to close the well.

Last Updated: Tuesday, September 02, 2014, 5:40 PM
LAKELAND --
There were no injuries Tuesday morning during an explosion at a juice processing plant in Lakeland, according to authorities.
According to Bay News 9 partner newspaper the Ledger, the explosion was caused by a buildup of natural gas.
Lakeland police said the explosion happened at the plant, located at 2090 Bartow Road, just after 7:30 a.m. Officials said 90 workers were in the plant at the time of the blast.
The 200,000 square-foot facility is the Whitlock Packaging Corporation, formerly known as the Juice Bowl Plant. The company bottles juices and teas for major brand names.
People driving by could hear something wasn't right.
"All of a sudden we heard this hissing sound. It was like sssssss,” said Amy Shank, witness.
"There were these loud banging sounds like a furnace,” said Christine Hobbs, witness.
Smoke was spotted rising from the facility a short time before firefighters and police officers arrived at the scene.
The full extent of the damage is unknown but a boiler was blown through a wall, leaving a gaping hole in the facility. The 60,000-lb. boiler was holding 2,000 gallons of water when the explosion happened.

Pipeline Explosion Forces Evacuation of Hundreds in Central Mexico
PUEBLA, Mexico – At least 500 industrial workers were evacuated following an explosion in a gas pipeline in San Miguel Xoxtla, a town in the central Mexican state of Puebla, but no one was injured in the blast, emergency management officials said.
A pipeline belonging to state-owned oil giant Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, exploded Saturday morning, Puebla state emergency management office director Jesus Morales said.
The pipeline runs along the side of a highway that connects the town to Mexico City, Morales said.
Army troops and police brought the fire under control and investigators are trying to determine what caused the explosion.
“We do not know if this incident was caused by a clandestine tap, but Pemex is investigating the reason why there was a leak in an exposed pipeline,” Morales said.
Companies operating in the San Miguel Xoxtla industrial zone were evacuated.
Numerous Pemex pipelines are located in the industrial zone.
Flames shot about 20 meters (65 feet) into the sky following the blast, setting nearby pastures and an area used to store tires on fire.
The blaze forced the closing of the Puebla-Mexico City highway for about two hours, officials said.
Theft of fuel from Pemex pipelines, known in Mexico as “milking,” is common, with both individuals and gangs involved in the illegal activity.
A total of 2,523 fuel theft cases were registered in 2013, Pemex said.
Tamaulipas, Sinaloa, Jalisco, Sonora, Veracruz and Puebla are the states with the most reported cases of fuel theft via illegal pipeline taps.

At least two dead and many more missing as massive explosion destroys four-storey building in Paris suburb
- Child, eight, and woman, 80, killed as blast causes building to collapse
- Blast in Rosny-sous-Bois thought to have been caused by gas leak
- Five children are feared to be among the 12 trapped beneath the rubble
- Four people were seriously injured, and ten others hurt in the blast
An eight-year-old child and an elderly woman were killed when a huge explosion destroyed a four-storey building on the outskirts of Paris today.
More people, among them at least five children, are thought to be trapped beneath the rubble of the block after its partial collapse early at around 8am this morning.
The blast was heard across the north eastern suburb of Rosny-sous-Bois, and early indications suggested it had been caused by a gas leak.
Missing: More people, among them at least five children, are thought to be trapped beneath the rubble of the block after its partial collapse early this morning
The town's mayor Serge Denneulin, said: ‘We’ve all been touched by this drama. The body of a woman of 80 has been found, along with an eight year old child, and the search is going on.’
Mr Cazeneuve said a gas leak was an early theory, but added that 'we must be careful’ about rushing to conclusions as the the cause of the explosion.
He said that the 22 people living in the remaining two thirds of the building have been given emergency accomodation as the rest of the structure is at risk of collapse.
Speaking at a socialist party conference in La Rochelle, Prime Minister Manuel Valls began his speech by sending out a 'message of solidarity' to the victims of the explosion.
