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 Riverbed 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.

Plant fire near Gregory sends fireballs high into the sky
GREGORY - It was a very scary scene last night at the Southcross Energy Natural Gas Plant near Gregory last night.
Around 6 pm emergency crews were called to the plant for an explosion. An explosion that sent flames and fireballs high in the air for hours.
Several fire departments were called to the plant. Among the Gregory crews were from Ingleside, Aransas Pass and Taft, who rendered help to put out the inferno.
The explosion proved frustrating for motorists as several roads were closed and traffic was re-directed, the roads were finally re-opened about 4 hours later.
Pipelines funneling gas to the facility were shut off and the fire eventually burned itself out.
There is no official word on what started the blaze and an investigation is pending.
Fortunately there were no injuries.
At this point, there is no word to the extent of damage to the plant, how long it might be out of commission, and how all this might affect customers here in the Coastal Bend area.

A natural gas pipeline near Jackson, Mississippi, burst into flames Wednesday morning, leaving wooded areas burned and a rare image on radar.
The blast spooked nearby residents, who saw the large, orange glow in the pre-dawn sky and began to ask about its origins on social media. Gulf South Pipeline confirmed the explosion was along a natural gas line east of the Barnett
LIMA, Ohio — No dangerous contaminants were released into the air by an explosion at an oil refinery that was felt 10 miles away and sparked a fire that burned for more than 14 hours, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency said Sunday.
Testing was done by the U.S. EPA, Allen County and Husky Energy for a variety of contaminants, including benzene, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulfide and asbestos, Ohio EPA spokeswoman Heidi Griesmer said.
The results were all “non-detect,” meaning no signs of the contaminants, Griesmer said.
The company, overseen by the Ohio EPA, will continue the contaminant monitoring this week, Griesmer said.
Damage assessment from the explosion continues, Husky Energy spokesman Mel Duvall said in an email.
The explosion at 6 a.m. Saturday triggered a fire that sent black smoke billowing into the air above the refinery. No one had to be evacuated, but nearby streets were closed for about seven hours and approximately 20 homeowners reported the explosion broke their windows.
The fire was put out at 8:25 p.m. Saturday, Griesmer said.
The explosion happened in a processing unit where crude oil is heated to begin the process of breaking it down into other products. The refinery anchors an industrial area in Lima, which is about 80 miles northwest of Columbus.
No fewer than three persons lost their lives while several others sustained various degree of burnt in a tragic gas explosion which occurred at Afaha Uqua road in Eket South West, Akwa Ibom.
The fire explosion which consumed properties worth millions of naira also burnt the bodies of the victims beyond recognition.
Eyewitnesses say that the explosion which consumed properties worth millions of naira, also did not spare other adjoining shops, including a local eatery and a photo studio.
While some people claimed that the incident emanated from a cooking fire from one of the shops, others said that it was a gas cylinder that exploded.
According to one of the eyewitness, the incident threw the entire street into a state of pandemonium as people scampered for safety.
A shop owner within the vicinity who did not want his name mentioned told our correspondent who visited the scene of the explosion that the incident came to them as a rude shock since people in the area has not witnessed such a calamity.
He said that the late arrival of the state fire service personnel was responsible for the casualty recorded.
His words ‘’it is very sad and unfortunate that such incidence should happen to us this early period of the new year as we have just come from our different villages after the Christmas and the New Year celebrations . We are totally grieved over the loss of property and lives of our colleagues who died and I am quite sure if the fire service had responded timely, maybe those who died would have been saved’’
He advised residents to be very careful in the use of gas and to be safety conscious as fire is no respecter of anyone most especially during this harmattan season.
