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

http://www.nltimes.nl/2015/09/23/video-explosions-at-biomass-power-...
At least four people were injured Wednesday morning when two different explosions occurred in a biomass power plant in Borssele, Zeeland, the regional safety office reported. The office says all four were hospitalized, however broadcaster Omroep Zeeland says two people received serious injuries and were rushed to an area hospital and the others were treated at the scene.

The blasts rocked the small town at about 9:25 a.m. First responders were dispatched by 9:28 a.m., and an air ambulance helicopter was sent to the scene less than five minutes later.

“It was really a loud explosion. Like a thunderstorm,” one witness told broadcaster Omroep Zeeland. Public safety workers said the force of the explosions had ripped off much of the cladding from the side of the building, and several flaps were still hanging loose.

The explosions reportedly took place during preparations for the plant’s closure, scheduled for next January.

By 9:55 a.m. the incident was reportedly under control. Firefighters were in the building using thermal imaging cameras to find possible flare-ups, the safety region said at about 11:20 a.m.

Russia: At least one dead, six injured as explosion rips through Omsk flat

Emergency services at scene of explosion

A suspected gas explosion brought down a large part of a block of flats leaving at least one person dead and six injured in the Russian city of Omsk on Tuesday.

Around 130 rescue workers remained at the scene well after dark searching for survivors who may still be trapped. At least one person has already been pulled alive from beneath the rubble. Following the explosion around 40 inhabitants of nearby buildings were evacuated to safer ground.

Residents claim to have smelt gas during the day and officials from the local municipal services were called out but the source of the leak is yet to be traced.

Russia's Federal Investigative Committee has opened a case into the incident to probe whether any law was broken in the maintenance of the building.

North Texas town rocked by a powerful house explosion that injured at least five

• A home in the 100 block of Arabian Road in Waxahachie blew up at around 8am Monday 
• Two people who had been inside were airlifted to a hospital; three others were treated on the scene
• Nine neighboring homes were damaged as a result of the blast and falling debris 
• Waxahachie firefighters say a natural gas leak may have been at fault 

By SNEJANA FARBEROV FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

At least five people were injured, two of them seriously, after a powerful early-morning explosion destroyed a home in Waxahachie, Texas.

Police say a home in the 100 block of Arabian Road unexpectedly blew up at around 8am local time and burst into flames, raining debris on neighboring houses in the Saddlebrook Estates section of the city.

Two of the victims who had been inside the doomed house were airlifted to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. Their conditions remain unknown at this time. 

A third person was treated at the scene and later transported to Baylor Scott and White Medical Center.

Nine other homes in the area sustained damage as a result of the blast, and at least two more people were treated for minor injuries, according to Waxahachie City spokeswoman Amy Hollywood.

The cause of the blast is under investigation, but Waxahachie firefighters said a gas leak may have been at fault.

The explosion razed the house on Arabian Road to the ground, with only a small portion of the wood frame left standing.

Photos and NBC DFW chopper video from the scene show the dwelling at 113 Arabian Road flattened, with a wide field of debris around it.

A local resident said the blast could be felt 10 miles away from the site of the explosion. 

According to the real estate site Zillow.com, the ravaged residence was a three-bedroom, two-bath single-family home that was built in 2010. 

Its estimated worth before today's explosion was just under $149,000.

The Waxahachie Daily Light reported that sensors picked up gas in the area around 9.30am, prompting officials from the local utility company Atmos Energy to clear everyone from the blast site as a precaution.

'First and foremost our thoughts are with the families affected by today’s incident. We want to express our sincere concern,' Jennifer Altieri, Atmos Energy spokesperson, said in a statement. 

'As part of normal operating procedures when Atmos Energy is called to the scene of an incident, we work closely with our first responders to make the area safe and then conduct leak surveys in the area to identify if gas was involved. At this point it is too soon to tell what caused this incident.'

The American Red Cross will be providing assistance to displaced residents. The Salvation Army is also on the scene to help those impacted by the explosion. 

Authorities are currently allowing people who were evacuated from their homes to go back in and take care of pets, collect medications and other necessities they may need, reported WFAA.
