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

West Deer Family Living With Explosive Situation
Posted: 9:41 pm EST December 14, 2011
WEST DEER TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- A West Deer Township family is living without heat and hot water due to concerns about high levels of methane and the potential for an explosion.According to the Valley News Dispatch, Peoples Natural Gas shut off service to Ashley and Luke Raynovich's Juniper Lane property on Tuesday.The company said the methane gas is coming from an abandoned mine.The couple and their children, ages ten and two, have no heat and no hot water in their home.Ashley Raynovich told Channel 11 News the problem with high methane levels began during the summer.The family had no gas service for two weeks in July while Peoples crews installed a pipe in their front yard to vent the fumes.That proved to be only a temporary fix and the situation is frustrating to the family."Are we safe in our home? We don't know. We don't know anything because no one wants to tell us anything," said Ashley Raynovich.Peoples and the Department of Environmental Protection are monitoring the methane levels.A DEP spokesman said the mine owner should be responsible for removing the gas.

Freeway explosion: Tanker truck blast shakes homes, businesses
A tanker truck explosion Thursday on the 60 Freeway -- closing the busy route indefinitely -- was felt by residents and workers in Montebello.
Miguel Osorio, 25, was helping customers inside a Chevron gas station when he heard two separate explosions. The first bang was loud but not very strong. Still, it caused him to worry when he saw thick, black smoke bellowing in the sky.
Fearing a sister gas station might be on fire, Osorio called his colleague who worked at the establishment down the street.
PHOTOS: Fiery crash on the 60 Freeway
“It gave me a good scare,” the Montebello resident said. “The fire looked like it was coming from that general area.”
Then the intensity from a second explosion caused the floor under his feet to vibrate.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department asked Osorio to stop dispensing fuel while they evaluated the fire. The station reopened 20 minutes later but customers didn’t return. Authorities closed off the street and the offramp leading to the station.
But business picked up for his colleague. Commuters stuck in traffic for hours stopped at the gas station to grab a bite to eat.
"The explosion most witnesses heard was the concrete exploding from the extreme heat," said Montebello Fire Chief Tim Wessell. Water in the concrete boiled, then popped, he said.
Wessell said the truck driver reported the rear trailer ablaze before he came to a stop under the Paramount Boulevard overpass. The fire escalated, causing extremely high temperatures and he was forced to abandon the truck before he could pull completely off to the side of the freeway.
The driver and a passenger were able to escape, authorities said.
A California Highway Patrol official said a passing motorist saw the flames and called 911.
The freeway was shut down between the 605 and 710 freeways, and it will be several hours before it reopens.
"Traffic isn't going to flow through here anytime soon," said CHP Officer Sal Gomez. "The bridge's integrity is something of great concern."
Wessell said Caltrans officials will get in to examine the bridge once firefighters and hazmat experts determine it is safe. Several times since the initial blaze, the tank has reignited, he said.
“Nobody is getting gas, but inside it’s booming” said Mohammad Maithnoni, 29 of Cypress, also a manager at Chevron.

At least 1 hurt in gas explosion in Skokie building
At least one person was injured when a gas explosion blew out the front of a two-flat in Skokie this morning, officials said.
James Smith, 31, said he woke up at 8:30 a.m. and saw flames engulfing the building next door in the 8700 block of North Kimball Avenue.
A man was on the ground and appeared to be unconscious, Smith said. Rescue personnel took the man to a hospital while firefighters poured water on the building.
"I looked out the window and saw flames," said Smith, who did not hear an explosion. "All I could think of was,'‘Let me get my family out of here before this one goes up.' "
Smith said no one lived upstairs in the two-flat, and the woman who lived downstairs had recently moved out. "It's a good thing the woman who lived downstairs moved," Smith said. "She just had a baby."
It's unknown whether the injured man was in the building or walking by it, according to Skokie Deputy Fire Chief Jim Walters. The man's name, age and condition were not available.
"Based on the damage, we're assuming it was a gas explosion," Walters said. "We're still investigating."
Another witness said he saw smoke barrelling out of the building. "It looks like a big chunk of the wall is gone," said Jim Dorman, owner of Kenny the Kleener across the street from the building. "It seemed like an explosion."
He said plumes of smoke were billowing from the building and flames were about 10 feet over the building.

Homes evacuated amid gas mystery
4:50pm Monday 12th December 2011
Homes had to be evacuated after a mystery gas cloud descended on Brighton and Hove.
Investigations are continuing today (Monday, December 12) into what caused the smell of gas in the city.
Southern Gas Networks (SGN) was inundated with calls from worried residents on Saturday (December 10)evening.
Most of those affected were along the seafront.
The company said it received 25 calls and engineers were immediately sent out to investigate.
Extra crews were brought in from other areas of southern England as a back-up.
However despite a thorough investigation, no gas leak was found.
Engineers were back yesterday and will return today to double-check.
One resident who contacted The Argus said: “There was a really strong smell of gas in our home.
“We had to leave while the engineers checked everything over. They couldn’t find any trace of gas but you could really smell it.
“It was quite scary. People were worried there was going to be an explosion.”
A SGN spokesman said the smell was most probably down to what is known as a gas cloud.
This is when people think they smell gas but it isn’t gas.
It may be because of a certain way the wind was blowing, or other factors such as ships on the English Channel or chemicals from factories and other buildings.
If a member of the public smells gas or is worried about gas safety, they should call 0800 111 999.

Report: Seven killed in explosion at Iran steel factory
Iran's state broadcaster IRIB reports blast rocked factory in central province of Yazd; official says incident was under investigation.
An explosion at a steel production complex in central Iran killed seven workers including foreigners, the semi-official Fars news agency quoted a senior local official in Yazd province as saying on Monday.
"The explosion at the Ghadir Steel plant led to the deaths of seven people and the serious injuries of 12 others who have been transferred to hospital for treatment," said Yazd's
governor Azizulah Seifi.
Smoke rises from an explosion near Tehran, November 12, 2011.
Photo by: AP "It happened on Sunday and caused the death of a number of foreign workers," he said, without elaborating on the number and nationality of the foreigners killed.
Seifi said the cause of the explosion had not been unidentified and an investigation was under way.
"The plant belongs to the private sector and its directors and officials have been summoned... experts are trying to determine the cause of the incident," Seifi said.
Last month, a mysterious blast rocked Isafahn in western Iran and reportedly damaged a key nuclear facility in the city.
Haaretz cited Iranian media as reporting that an explosion was heard near Isfahan, home to a uranium conversion plant operational since 2004.

A newly vacated home in a Cleveland neighborhood exploded early Saturday morning.
Neighbors were woken from their slumber around 2 a.m. when a home located at 10721 Grandview Avenue exploded and then caught on fire.
According to the Cleveland Fire Department, there were no injuries reported.
The gas company visited the home later in the day investigating the cause of the blast. In the meantime, the home will be demolished for safety measures. The site will roped off and patrolled until then.
Two hours later, another home in the area was fully engulfed in flames.
The second home was located at 11110 Mt. Overlook. Cleveland Fire Department's Lt. Larry Gray says the fire was caused by a squatter who was cooking and keeping warm in the empty house.
Lt. Gary warns with colder weather on the horizon, residents could see more explosions and house fires in the city's vacant homes. "That's why we need the community's support, to help us watch for situations like that...and if they see it...make that call to the police department" says Lt. Gary.

Mum severely burnt in massive explosion
DESTROYED: The remains of a granny flat in Nuhaka, north of Wairoa, destroyed in a large gas explosion which severely burnt a woman on Saturday. PHOTO/PAUL TAYLOR HBT104634-01
A Hawke's Bay mother is in Middlemore Hospital with severe burns after a huge gas explosion destroyed the house she was standing in on Saturday.
The Nuhaka woman, in her 30s, had just flicked the switch on a gas oven in her mother's granny flat to bake a cake.
"She went to put a cake in the oven and it blew when she flicked the switch," Nuhaka chief fire officer Robert Wesche said.
The flat was destroyed instantly.
"It was a heck of a bang - it shook the houses around here. Bits and pieces and glass were strewn 100m away. There must have been a fair bit of gas to make a bang like that."
The woman had crossed the road to bake a cake just before the 6.35am explosion. Her mother had already left the flat for work.
The flat was beside the house of the injured woman's brother-in-law, Nuhaka volunteer fireman Ian Barber and the impact also smashed his windows and cracked the wall of his house.
"I ran around the house and screamed at her to get out of the house," he said.
"She was dazed and staggering around. I shouted at her to come towards me."
She scrambled to him through the burning wreckage."I put her in the shower and told my wife to keep her in there and I got the hose and put it through the window to put extra water on her."
Mr Wesche, who was already awake at his home 200m away, was about to make a cup of tea when he heard the explosion.
The noise was so loud and the jolt of his two-storey house so great he wrongly assumed the explosion was at his next-door neighbours and ran to the fenceline.
"When I looked over my shoulder I could see a big plume of smoke," he said.
He drove 600m to the Nuhaka Fire Station where his crew had assembled.
"The little bach was flattened. We had to make sure it wouldn't spread to the house."
The rescuers at first thought the woman's son was in the house with her but he was found safe, Mr Wesche said. "Thank God he was asleep back in her home."
The remaining walls and roof structures soon collapsed.
"If Ian hadn't got there she would have been buggered," he said. "He probably saved her life."
Mr Barber denied being a hero.
"I was just doing what anyone else would have done. Because I am a fireman I knew I shouldn't go into the house alone so I called her out."
He said it was lucky there was no wind at the time or the flames might have claimed Mr Barber's house.
"It was thanks to Wairoa and Mahia (fire services) who were here quick with their tankers that the flames did not spread."
Mr Wesche said the fire service and gas company were investigating. A large gas cylinder was strewn on the ground beside the building.
"This is a wake up call for everyone around here. The building was only two years old."

You know the answer. Shattered caverns now storing oil, so it leaks, and ruined distribution lines, refineries exploding and burning, etc.
James Lechago said:Nancy, I have a practical question for the Zetas concerning fuel supplies after the 7 of 10 adjustment. So much of our oil and refining comes through or occurs on the gulf coast. What will happen to the availability of fuel after the New Madrid fault adjustment? Even much of the US strategic supplies reside off shore underground if I recall correctly. I remember that the zetas said that Houston and the land below Houston all the way to Galveston will be devastated with land sinking and rising.
