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

Explosion rocks St. Louis suburb, damaging 20 homes and injuring four people

The cause of the blast is under investigation.

An explosion in a St. Louis suburb is blamed for starting fires that destroyed five homes and hurt at least four people Monday, Aug. 25, 2025.
KSDK-TV

An explosion in a St. Louis suburb is blamed for starting fires that destroyed five homes and hurt at least four people Monday, Aug. 25, 2025.



An apparent home explosion sparked a massive fire Monday in Florissant, Missouri, injuring at least four people, including one of them severely.

Black Jack Fire Protection District Assistant Fire Chief Paul Peebles said Monday that five homes were burned, and more than 20 homes were damaged. Of the homes damaged, 90% had extensive damage and had been red-tagged, meaning no one could go inside because it wasn't safe.

Four people have been injured, including one who was severely hurt. Peebles said firefighters conducted search and rescue missions with cadaver dogs and that the dogs did not alert to any other victims.

Video from the scene showed the devastation neighbors saw after the blast.

People from all over the area told NBC affiliate KSDK-TV that they heard and felt the explosion and that it shook their homes. One woman said it felt like a car slammed into her house, while another wondered if it was an earthquake or a plane crash.

"I heard it and I felt it, but, yeah, I was just laying down in my bed, and soon as I heard it and felt it, I got up and ran over there, and I seen one house that was already crumbled," said Tyreke Abernathy. "And then the next two that was next to it, they both caught on fire. It took them a minute, though, after that one blew up, it took a minute for it to catch on fire, but, yeah, they end up catching up."

Multiple fire departments responded to the scene after receiving reports of a house explosion around 9:15 a.m. CT. The fire department said they also responded to several alarms in the area triggered by the explosion.

"I heard this loud noise, explosion. My house shook so bad, I literally thought a car ran into the side of my house. So I ran down the steps, looked on the side of my house. There was nothing there, and I looked over into the sky, big cloud of black smoke with debris coming down," said Latoya Dillard.

A nearby Walmart was also evacuated following the blast.

The cause of the blast is not yet known. Peebles said arson investigators are looking into the cause of the explosion.

Florrisant is located about 14 miles northwest of St. Louis.

Explosions and major fire at Port of Hamburg leave several injured

Published on 26-08-2025 at 07:45
Explosions and major fire at Port of Hamburg leave several injured

A major fire broke out at the Port of Hamburg on Monday, 25 August, following an explosion in a warehouse. The incident left six people injured, including one in critical condition, and led to the evacuation of around 25 people from the immediate danger zone.

Emergency services said the blaze was believed to have started when a parked vehicle inside the warehouse ignited, triggering a series of explosions involving pressurised gas cylinders. Witnesses reported “multiple blasts throughout the night”, according to dpa, with flames spreading to nearby areas and debris being scattered across the port.

A dense cloud of black smoke rose over Hamburg on Monday afternoon, drifting across the districts of Veddel, Moorfleet and Bergedorf. Authorities initially warned residents about toxic smoke, but the alert was lifted in the early hours of Tuesday. Officials said the situation on site by Tuesday morning was “relatively stable”.

By Tuesday morning, 120 firefighters were still on site, and six people had been injured, the fire department told local media.

A fire department spokesperson said on Tuesday morning that post-extinguishing operations were expected to continue into the afternoon. Police added that fire investigators were likely to begin their work later in the day, but only once the site had been declared safe by the fire brigade.

The fire also disrupted transport in the area. Debris from the explosions fell onto the motorway between Norderelbe and Moorfleet, forcing its closure in both directions and causing tailbacks of up to 12 kilometres.  However, all major roads, including the A1 motorway, reopened on Tuesday morning, police confirmed. Only streets immediately surrounding the fire site remain closed.

The Port of Hamburg, one of Germany’s key trade gateways, has not yet issued an assessment of the damage.

SpaceX Starship explodes into enormous fireball during routine test at Texas facility

Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship exploded into an enormous fireball on Wednesday night during a routine test for an upcoming launch, as nearby residents recalled their homes shaking from the blast.

The fiery blowup happened just after 11 p.m. local time as the Starship crew was preparing for the tenth flight test of Ship 36 at the Texas Starbase site near Boca Chica Beach.

Officials reported a “major anomaly” took place as the reusable super heavy-lift launch vehicle was stationed on a test stand.

In the footage, the initial fireball appears to come from the top of the rocket before the screen turned white from the dramatic change in lighting ripping through the otherwise dark night sky.



SpaceX officials confirmed a safety zone had been in place and all staff are accounted for with no reports of any injuries.

“Our Starbase team is actively working to safe the test site and the immediate surrounding area in conjunction with local officials,” the company said on X.

SpaceX reported residents in the nearby communities did not face any hazards due to the explosion.

Residents living near the facility say they felt their explosion from their homes.

“Our whole neighborhood felt it and all the neighbors went outside to see what had happened because it shook all the houses …. my brother-in-law thankfully worked during the day shift,” Brownsville resident Arely Cantu told My San Antonio.

Five seriously injured in downtown Rochester explosion, including three children


At least seven people were injured in an explosion in downtown Rochester Saturday evening, that happened outside of 423 Main Bar Grill & Rooftop. 

Rochester Fire Chief John Cieslik said there were five patients transported with injuries, including three children. Two others were treated at the scene and released. 

Cieslik said there is no outdoor dining at the restaurant where the explosion happened, and it is unclear why they were lighting the heater. 

"It just rattled everyone in the restaurant," Mark Mendola, the owner of D'Marcos Restaurant, said.

Several emergency vehicles blocked roads near N. Main Street and E. University around 9 p.m. 

Cieslik said it was a stroke of luck that an EMS unit from Rochester Hills just happened to be passing by as the explosion happened and started to triage patients immediately.

Guinea (West Africa) explosion: Huge oil depot fire leaves 18 dead and over 200 injured in Conakry as shocking footage reveals how towering fireball damaged buildings almost a mile away

Fire burns after a blast at an oil terminal in Conakry, Guinea, on December 18

The main oil depot in Guinea has exploded, leaving 18 dead and hundreds injured - with a fireball from the blast damaging buildings almost a mile away.

Foreign rescue and aid workers, along with the UN and volunteers, worked tirelessly to help victims of the explosion at the state oil company's main depot in the Kaloum district of the capital, Conakry, near the port.

The incident on Monday morning at the Guinean Petroleum Company depot killed 18 people, injured 212 others and prompted concerns about fuel supplies.

People look at the explosion site from behind the safety barrier on Tuesday

Firemen work to extinguish the flames after a blast at Guinea's main oil terminal

The explosion, whose cause is still unknown, wreaked damage to buildings over a radius of more than one kilometre (0.6 miles).

Windows were shattered in several buildings in the port area, including a modern district which is home to banks and insurance companies.

The fire was brought under control later that afternoon but smoke was still rising from the site the next day and soldiers were preventing traffic from entering.

A legal investigation has been opened to establish the cause and responsibilities of the incident.

The government said in a statement: 'Despite the efforts by medical teams, we lament four new deaths today, bringing the total to 18.'

'Of the 212 people treated by health workers, 127 have returned to their homes and 85 people are still hospitalised, including four in intensive care.'

The government warned locals to brace for power cuts in the aftermath.

It added that 13 fuel storage tanks were out of service while five tanks were unaffected.

Dozens of people came forward to help in whatever way they could.

One person missing after 'explosion' sparks huge inferno at South Wales (UK) industrial estate, police reveal: 'Major incident' declared, with roads shut and people told not to go to A&E as cops and firefighters rush to scene

Huge plumes of smoke rising over the building are visible from afar

Fears are growing that a person is trapped under rubble after a huge explosion at a gym in South Wales last night sparked a massive inferno.

The large multi-storey building housing Mindset Gym at Treforest Industrial Estate in Pontypridd is on the brink of collapse after an enormous blast which saw police declare a 'major incident' and firefighters scramble to the scene of the chaos.

Three people were treated at the scene before they were discharged, a Welsh Ambulance Service spokesperson said. Local NHS emergency departments were on 'high alert' after the blaze, with people asked not to attend A&E unless 'absolutely necessary'. Though there are no reports of any serious injuries, one person remains unaccounted for, South Wales Police said.

Deputy chief fire officer Dewi Rose said: 'At 7.05pm this evening South Wales Fire and Rescue Service (SWFRS) responded to repeat calls about an explosion at Mindset Gym, Rizla House, Severn Road on Treforest Industrial Estate, Pontypridd.

'SWFRS currently has 16 pumping appliances, a number of special appliances and officers in attendance. The latest from the scene is that the building, a large multi-use two-storey commercial premises, is totally alight and at risk of collapse.'

Police, fire and ambulance services in attendance at a major incident after an 'explosion' on an industrial estate on Wednesday

Jonny Foxhall, 36, the owner of nearby music venue Green Rooms, said: 'Our front door was flung open so we went out to see what had happened. We could see a smoke cloud and an orange glow from above the treeline quickly followed by flames.' He added: 'To feel the shockwave from the explosion is something I've never experienced before.'

Local resident Allyson Richards told MailOnline that she and her friend had been sat on the sofa at home when they heard an 'almighty bang' which 'shook the house'. 'It's absolutely crazy,' she said. 'The windows shook and we ran outside.'

The 56-year-old lives a short walk from the estate, which is across a river and main road from her house. She said her initial thoughts were that a lorry on the road might have hit one of the residents' cars parked outside.

'The whole house shook, my friend and I just looked at each other like 'my god what was that'... I was just shocked by the force of the explosion, for it to shake the house it was quite a big explosion. When I went out that was unbelievable, we didn't know where the fire was coming from. At first we couldn't see anything so came back in. Then my neighbour said 'you went back too soon, look over there,' and we could see the fire rising high.' Our concern was if everyone is alright, especially coming up to Christmas I just hope everyone is okay.'

She said that she has 'never seen anything like it. You hear about stuff like this but we have never have anything like that around here.'

'The smoke is unbelievable,' she went on to say, as residents were warned to keep their windows closed. She added at around midnight that the fire is 'still going now, you can still see the orange haze'.
