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

15 Hurt in Blast at New Hampshire Ball Bearings Factory
An explosion Monday afternoon at a New Hampshire ball bearings plant injured 15 people, including at least eight seriously, authorities said.
Fire officials said at least two of the injured were airlifted to hospitals, NBC station WMUR reported, though company officials said they were told the injuries were not life-threatening.
Monadnock Community Hospital said it had received eight patients and sent two to another hospital. It said on person was treated and released.
Aerial video showed windows blasted out of a long section of the sprawling building housing New Hampshire Ball Bearings in Peterborough. The police chief said the explosion occurred on the plant's first floor, WMUR reported.
"It shook our building, shook the plate glass in our showroom," Steve Bourgeois of Peterborough Collision told WMUR. He said the shop was 200-300 feet away from the plant.
The company says on its website that it manufactures ball bearings for the aerospace, defense, medical and technology industries.
Peterborough is about 70 miles northwest of Boston.

Updated 15 hours agoJustin Merriman | Tribune-ReviewFirefighters work outside of a home in the 4000 block of Tuxey Avenue in Brentwood after and explosion at the home on Thursday evening, Feb. 6, 2014.Investigators are trying to determine whether a natural gas leak caused an explosion on Thursday that injured the president of Brentwood's Emergency Medical Services and destroyed his home.
Frank Mihalovich, 69, who owns and operates Frank's Guns in the basement of his home in the 4100 block of Tuxey Avenue, was taken to UPMC Mercy, Uptown, with burns to his back and head from the explosion and fire that occurred at 4:55 p.m., police Chief Robert Butelli said.
“He said he was walking up the (basement) steps when there was an explosion,” Butelli said. “Natural gas is a possibility.”
Gas company workers were going door to door in the neighborhood to make sure there were no other problems, fire Chief Dan Niecgorski said.
Mihalovich, who was the only person in the house, was standing outside when firefighters arrived, Niecgorski said.
The explosion probably occurred in the basement, because that's where there was the most damage, Butelli said.
The flames began detonating ammunition, keeping firefighters at bay, Niecgorski said.
“We never entered the area where the ammunition was stored,” he said.
The four walls of the basement were buckled and cracked by the explosion, Butelli said. The blast caused part of the exterior brick facade to fall from the rear of the house, he said.
“We have not been able to enter the house yet, because the building inspector said it is structurally deficient,” said Joseph Price, supervisory agent in charge of Pittsburgh's ATF office.
ATF investigators, who were called because Mihalovich is a federally licensed gun dealer, will help determine what caused the explosion and make an inventory of and collect all the firearms in the house.
“I was really upset when I heard the news,” Mayor Dennis Troy said. “I hope and pray he is going to be OK.”
An Allegheny County Council Proclamation states that Mihalovich began as a volunteer at Brentwood EMS on May 4, 1980, and was honored at the organization's 28th Annual Anniversary Dinner on Dec. 10, 2005, for “25 years of distinguished service.”
Thursday's explosion occurred five doors from a house that was destroyed by an explosion and fire on July 31, 2007. An occupant was accused of causing the explosion, but the charges were dismissed in Allegheny County Court.

Elderly woman killed in building collapse in Italy
ROME, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- An elderly woman died on Friday when a residential building collapsed due to a gas explosion in Italy's largest island Sicily.
The blast occurred in Caccamo, a seaside town not far from the capital of the island, Palermo, in the early morning.
Local media said the blast was triggered by a gas leak that eviscerated the two-floor building where 82-year-old Benedetta Sunseri had her apartment.
The explosion also blew out windows in nearby buildings. Rescue teams which rushed to the spot found the body of the woman in the debris.
"I was washing clothes as I often do in the morning, when I realized there was a strange smell in the air," a neighbor of the victim, whose house was also damaged by the explosion, said.
"I heard a rubble and I had a handful of soil and sand, then a few pebbles in the face. After a moment of confusion, I tried to understand and I saw the debris," she said

Explosion in Va. destroys home
801 p.m. EST February 2, 2014
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. -- An explosion in Fredericksburg, Virginia shook a neighborhood and destroyed a house under construction.
The fire Marshal suspects a gas leak caused the explosion.
People who live close to the house describe the loud explosion that rattled their home and their nerves.
Stephanie Kim was at home around 9 Saturday night when she felt her house shake.
"All of a sudden I heard this huge bang. I freaked out for a second and thought of my kids thinking there's no way they would do something that would make that loud of a noise. I looked out window and saw the roof on the ground and there was fire around the back of it," Kim said.
Tom Hammond and his family felt the boom a quarter of a mile away.
"My wife and I were in our bedroom watching TV. We got a shake that felt like the earthquake we had a few years ago," said Hammond.
The Stafford County Fire Marshall was back out at the collapsed home, Sunday. The house that was unoccupied is located near route 17 in a brand new development at Stafford Lakes Village subdivision in Fredericksburg.
