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

At least 15 killed as gas explosion destroys 50 houses in Lagos, Nigeria

Mar 15, 2020

n explosion at a gas processing plant on Sunday killed at least 15 people and destroyed about 50 buildings after a fire broke out in a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital, emergency services said.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said the explosion was triggered after a truck hit some gas cylinders stacked in a gas processing plant near the corporation's pipeline in Abule Ado area of Lagos state.
The impact of the explosion led to the collapse of nearby houses, damaged NNPC's pipeline and caused the corporation to halt pumping operations on the Atlas Cove-Mosimi pipeline, the state-owned oil company said in a statement.
"15 bodies have been recovered now. So many people have been injured," National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) spokesman Ibrahim Farinloye told Agence France-Presse (AFP), adding that around 50 buildings were also destroyed in the explosion which was followed by a fire.
The blast happened at around 8:00 am (0700 GMT) destroyed around 50 buildings in the residential district of Abule Ado. Plumes of smoke billowed into the air as people watched, while firefighters tried to quench the flames, a Reuters witness said.
"We are recovering dead bodies as we speak and putting them in bags," said local Red Cross official Adebola Kolawale.
"We have a school here and it's a residential area. And we have a trade fair here as well," Kolawale said.
In front of a crowd of onlookers, rescue workers sought to remove rubble from a girls boarding school which has more than 250 pupils.


Explosions of pipelines and tanker trucks are frequent occurrences in Nigeria, where most people live in poverty even though the country is the biggest producer of oil on the continent, with around 2 million barrels per day.
Some accidents happen when residents try to siphon off oil or petrol from pipelines or when tanker drivers have accidents on the country's ill-maintained roads.
NNPC said that the temporary shutdown of the petroleum products pipeline would not affect the normal supply of products to the Lagos and surrounding towns.

Major ExxonMobil fire in Baton Rouge: Fire completely extinguished after massive blaze Feb 12, 2020 at 12:34 am

A fire erupted inside the massive ExxonMobil refinery in north Baton Rouge before midnight Wednesday, lighting up the sky and casting an orange glow visible from miles away but causing no injuries, according to initial reports from first responders and company representatives.

The fire was completely extinguished by 7 a.m.

Baton Rouge Fire Department spokesman Curt Monte said at a news conference around 1 a.m. that no explosion had occurred and no one was injured.

Denny Butler of Zachary, who was driving home from work on nearby Interstate 110, said "the whole sky lit up, bright enough to be daytime." But he kept driving toward the plant, hoping his friends who work there were alright. He figured that "if Exxon really blows up, we're all gonna be dead anyway."

Explosion leaves retirement village in South Columbus rattled

Tuesday, February 4th 2020

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WYSX/WTTE) — It may be several days before investigators release the cause of a blast that happened at a retirement community in Hamilton Township early Tuesday.

Fire Chief Ralph Shillingburg said they are securing the property with a fence after an explosion around 6:40 a.m.

Shillingburg said a man and woman were taken to the hospital in critical condition, but their names will not be officially released until family is notified.

Linda Jones lives near where the blast that happened on Janice Marie Road. “I heard a big boom. It got us out of bed. We both jumped up to run to the end of our trailer, and looked out said, oh my God, that trailer is on fire.”
Firefighters said the home was completely engulfed when they arrived on the scene. They fought the flames for hours, dousing them with water, and working to reduce damage to neighboring homes.
Another neighbor had just gotten up when he heard the blast.
“I looked out my door window, that is when I seen flames, I come out here and the whole front window blew out of the trailer.
I was worried about the people getting out alive. I prayed they got out alive. They got burned but thank God they got out.”
Crews worked all day to inspect meters and gas lines.
Eric Hardgrove, Columbia Gas spokesman said, “We always take an abundance of caution to make sure there are no other risks to others in the surrounding area.”
Hardgrove said they found no evidence on Monday that natural gas was responsible for the explosion.
It left neighbors like Caroline Harrison scared. “When I looked out my front window, it was a mass of flames. You couldn’t tell how many houses was on fire, it was just a mass of flames.”
Sharon Wilson’s mobile home is only about 15 feet behind the home that exploded. Wilson felt and heard the blast, even though she hadn’t even put in her hearing aids yet.
Wilson said she couldn’t get it out of her mind that she had a Columbia Gas worker tell her she had a leak at her place this summer, and that it hadn’t been fixed yet. “He said there was a leak out back and there was a dead spot of grass, and he said that was where the leak was."
"You could smell it all the time out here. And in fact, they came back and said it would take probably a year or so, could take up to a year to get it repaired,” said Wilson. “They said it wasn’t all that dangerous, and I thought, you know, they are the experts.”
The owner of Enchanted Acres sent an email with this statement:
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of this fire. We also appreciate the quick and thorough response of the Hamilton Township Fire Department to control the damage and prevent further loss to other residents of the community. Finally, we want to thank the neighbors who rendered immediate aid and have reached out to us on how to help.
The cause of the incident remains unknown and we will assist with the investigation in any way.”

Buildings shake, debris rains from sky as ‘MASSIVE blast’ rocks Houston (VIDEOS, PHOTOS)  24 Jan, 2020 11:11 / Updated 13 minutes ago

A massive explosion at a manufacturing plant has rattled homes in Houston, Texas with the blast echoing across the city, shattering windows and waking residents in the early hours of Friday morning.

The explosion reportedly took place at a factory in the Gessner area of the city. Video from a home doorbell captured the moment of the ferocious blast.

The blast happened around 4:25 am local time and was heard and felt up to 25 miles away. Houston Fire Department has confirmed that at least one person was injured in the incident, adding that its hazmat team is attending the scene.

Debris is reportedly raining from the sky and authorities have asked people to avoid the area while preliminary investigations are underway. Images shared on social media show the damage the blast caused to homes in the vicinity.

Local Police Chief Art Acevedo warned of increased flames and repeated smaller explosions in the aftermath of the incident. He also stated that nearby schools may be affected by the explosion.

The site of the explosion appears to be Watson Grinding and Manufacturing, a machining and manufacturing company.

The owner of the facility reportedly told local media that the explosion originated in a propylene tank. Propylene is a highly flammable gas used in manufacturing.

At least three people killed in Nigeria pipeline explosion

Jan 20,2020

A fire on a pipeline owned by Nigeria's state oil company in the commercial capital Lagos killed three people on Sunday (January 19), a Reuters witness said.

The blaze broke out in the Abule-Egba district of the southwestern megacity. Residents said it started shortly before 8 p.m. (1900 GMT).

A Reuters television camera operator counted three dead bodies at the scene. The fire burned nearby houses and vehicles.

Another witness, resident Ayo Adewale, said there were "many dead people". Reuters was unable to verify the claim.

Many fires on pipelines in Nigeria, Africa's biggest crude oil producer, are caused by theft and sabotage. The methods used to steal oil often result in accidents that cause fires.

Oluwafemi Damilola, director general of Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), said he and his team were told "some undesirable elements vandalised the pipeline".

It was not immediately clear what, if any, impact the pipeline fire would have on the operations of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

NNPC spokesman Samson Makoji late on Sunday said that the state oil company was assessing the situation.
