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.

SOZT

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

SOZT

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

North Plainfield man hospitalized for burns after natural gas explosion

Published: Thursday, September 08, 2011, 5:40 PM     Updated: Thursday, September 08, 2011, 5:43 PM
 
  
cyprus.jpgCyprus Gardens Apartment Complex on Route 22 in North Plainfield, where a resident was hospitalized after a natural gas explosion in the complex today.   

NORTH PLAINFIELD — An elderly North Plainfield resident was hospitalized this afternoon when a natural gas explosion rocked his Route 22 apartment, said Police Chief William Parenti.

The victim, identified only as an 85-year-old male, suffered burns to his chest, arms and face after the 2:43 p.m. blast at the Cypress Gardens apartment complex, Parenti said. He is expected to survive.

The man told police he was trying to adjust his apartment’s heater and thermostat, which investigators believe led to the explosion. Parenti said the victim was "conscious and alert" when a State Police helicopter transported him to St. Barnabas Burn Center in Livingston.

The boom blew out several windows in the man’s apartment, but Parenti said the damage was contained to his residence. The apartment complex did not suffer any structural damage, there was no sustained fire, and no on else was injured, according to Parenti.

PSE&G cut off gas to the building until it can contain the leak, according to Parenti.

Underground fuel tank explodes during Neb. storm




NEWPORT, Neb. (AP) — An underground diesel tank has exploded at a Newport gas station.

Newport Fire Chief Kurt Micheel told KOLN-TV (http://bit.ly/oE7ESR) that the explosion about 3 a.m. Friday blew a 20-foot-by-20-foot hole in the store's parking lot that was 8 to 10 feet deep. There was a storm in the area at the time and a lightning strike may be to blame.

No injuries were reported, and the store was not damaged.

The tank was almost empty when it exploded. A crew was called in to clean up the remaining fuel.

MANVILLE — An explosion ripped through a Manville home today, injuring two utility workers and rattling already frayed nerves in the riverside community still reeling from Hurricane Irene.

PSE&G said a hot water boiler exploded shortly after 2 p.m. on the 100 block of Huff Avenue as two workers from the utility company were walking into the homeowner’s basement to repair it. The explosion caused the basement stairs to collapse underneath the workers and shattered windows in the home, which had been flooded during last weekend’s hurricane.

"I heard a loud bloom and saw the glass go flying," said Ayres Gray, a construction worker with Heavy and General Construction Laborers Local 472 who was nearby at the time of the explosion.

The condition and identities of the workers were not released tonight, but Somerset County Prosecutor Geoffrey Soriano said one is 54 and from Collingswood and the other is 32, from West Deptford. Both were airlifted to Saint Barnabas Burn Center in Livingston, according to PSE&G. The 88-year-old owner of the home, was also not identified, but he was treated at Somerset Medical Center in Somerville for cuts and bruises and released.

PSE&G said the two men were the first employees of the utility company to sustain injuries repairing damage from the storm.

The cause of the accident remained under investigation yesterday, but PSE&G said natural gas was not involved. Manville emergency officials initially reported the incident as a gas explosion.

"It was not a gas explosion," said Mike Schmid, PSE&G director of appliance field services. "There’s a number of things that could have caused i

Video: Morristown family survives manhole explosion

When power failed at their Morristown home on Wednesday, members of the Sharretts family drove across town to transfer their food to a friend’s freezer. But things warmed up before they got there.

As they turned left from South Street onto James Street, a manhole exploded beneath their vehicle.

“All of a sudden there was a fireball around me,” said the driver, Brett Sharretts. “It was not a steam accident. It was fire.”

Jersey Central Power & Light has attributed the incident, which blistered another motorist whose identity has not been disclosed, to a “failed switch.” The utility maintains that the event was unrelated to the ongoing restoration of power to Morristown in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene.

On Thursday, state Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco (R-25th Dist.) and Mayor Tim Dougherty met with Richard Jackson, executive director of the state Board of Public Utilities, and pressed him to get answers from JCP&L about a series of underground fires and explosions in Morristown–and to determine what caused a May 2010 explosion at the Morristown & Township Library.

“It’s time for some answers,” the Assemblyman said.

Wednesday’s 4:30 p.m. blast was heard or felt in businesses, apartments and town hall. People streamed from the Visiting Nurse Association and the 181 South apartment building as firemen went inside to inspect for damage. This was the first manhole incident in town that resulted in injuries.

“It was just a matter of time,” the Mayor said at the scene.

Brett Sharretts said the hair was singed on his left arm, which had been leaning out the vehicle’s open window. The Honda Pilot rocked and felt hot, “like a campfire,” said his wife Jeanne.

“I’m on fire?” Brett exclaimed. From the left rear passenger seat, his son Ted, a Life Scout with first aid training, draped a blanket on his father’s arm.

Ted, 15, remembers hearing a “Boom!” Through his closed window he saw “a really bright flash on one side” that was orange-yellow.

“A New Jersey I.E.D.,” Ted said, using the military acronym for a roadside bomb.

Ted’s sister Catherine, who who is a contributor to MorristownGreen.com, recently started classes at American University and missed the wild ride.

Wednesday’s drama happened very fast, Jeanne said.

Gas Station Explosion Site in St. Augustine now 'Stable'

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- The site of the fire and explosions at a St. Augustine gas station is now environmentally "stable," according to the Department of Environmental Protection.

The BP gas station and Skinner Oil sat on the edge of marshland. Late Friday afternoon, an explosion triggered a massive fire and some evacuations; one person was injured.

According to DEP spokesperson Jennifer Diaz, the gasoline, kerosene and diesel have been removed from the containment and all remaining above ground storage tanks. The tanks are in the process of being cleaned."

PICTURES: Gas Station Fire

The amount of gasoline, kerosene and diesel lost has not yet been released by the responsible parties. According to DEP,  Coomes Oil, which owns the property, Florida Rock and Tank owns the tanker truck.

According to DEP, there was some pooling of the fuel in "small pockets at the marsh edge. From observations near the collection boom located on Masters Drive, only very light sheen was observed with some light weathered fuel as well."

Diaz said the responsible parties hired a contractor to help clean up the site.
