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

LAPEER, MI -- One person was killed and three others injured in an explosion at a Lapeer machine shop.

Emergency crews were dispatched around 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4, to Lapeer Industries, 400 McCormick Drive, after an explosion was reported behind the business.

Lapeer Police Chief Todd Alexander said authorities found four injured victims on the ground.

Alexander said one victim died from their injuries, while the other three victims were transported to the hospital for treatment. The condition of the surviving victims is unknown, according to Alexander.

Police have not released the identities of those involved in the explosion.

Alexander said the cause of the explosion is still under investigation, but it appears that a cylindrical tank containing an unknown type of gas became over-pressurized and exploded.

The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration was called in to investigate.

ONG Working To Determine Cause Of Gas Line Explosion Near Yukon

Posted: Oct 29, 2014 6:30 PM EDT Updated: Oct 29, 2014 6:30 PM EDT

YUKON, Oklahoma -Emergency crews contained a fire and the area around a ruptured gas line in Yukon Tuesday night. Now, Oklahoma Natural Gas (ONG) is looking for a cause.

The explosion occurred Tuesday night in Yukon, and witnesses described the scene as frightening. But for a cause it was almost spontaneous.

"I'm standing on my back porch and I'm looking at what appears to be shooting flames out of the Sunrise Hills addition," said one 911 caller.

"In the backyard there's like flames and smoke," said another 911 caller.

Callers to 911 described the scene off Highway 66, between Sara Rd. and Yukon Parkway, when a gas line appeared to explode around 8:20 p.m. It was around the same time Shelly Kingery arrived home from running errands.

"Got out of the vehicle and right when I shut the door the explosion happened and I called 911," said Kingery. "It was a huge explosion and instantly I looked up and saw the flames well above the rooftops of the houses."

At the time of the fire, ONG crews were on scene and had been for a while. At 5:22 p.m., crews were called out to access the gas line that had been hit by a third-party contractor. Shelly said she was aware of that situation before leaving her house.

"I smelled very strong gas smell and we saw the workers we assumed were trying [to] find the gas leak," said Kingery.

But while the crews were at work, 15 to 20 feet down the line the fire erupted.

"It was very scary, I mean it was frightening," said Kingery.

The actual cause is still unknown, but ONG officials believe it could have been static.

"We're just glad everything is safe and they got it taken care of," said Kingery.

ONG reported 91 accounts were affected by the fire, and as of 3 p.m. Wednesday, over half were back in service.

Monroe County Pipeline Fire Scene Cleared; Investigation Continues

Posted: Oct 28, 2014 3:18 AM EDTUpdated: Oct 28, 2014 12:30 PM EDT

Beallsville, OH -- A massive explosion in Monroe County has investigators searching to find out what happened to cause a pipeline to combust early Tuesday morning.

The details about who owns the pipeline aren't clear after nearly half a dozen fire companies from both Monroe and Belmont counties worked tirelessly to contain blazes that sprung up from an underground pipeline in Beallsville. In the dark of the night, not much could be seen other than a sea of flashing lights. Those lights coming from a number of fire engines as well as the flicker of flames shooting up from the ground. One man who lives on the road said the explosion wasn't something he would have ever expected, "I was watching TV and just heard a very loud explosion and seen on my security cameras a bunch of orange in them and looked outside, saw what looked like an atomic bomb went off," said Russell Gatten.

The massive explosion happened around 2:30 Tuesday morning as the pipeline erupted shooting flames far into the sky. Residents in the area say those flames rose several hundred feet above the grounds surface. "At first I thought it was my brother-in-laws barn, but just got my clothes and took off outside to tell neighbors and everything what was going on," Gatten said.

The explosion was said to have so much power that it nearly forced people in the area to the floor in their homes. "When I finally realized where the location was, I knew they just now stuck a pipeline through right there, so I figured it had to be that pipeline," said Gatten.

Gatten, having a pretty good idea of what was happening called for help, "We dialed 911 immediately and called and told them what was going on, then we heard the fire whistles blowing from Beallsville."

Not long after, fire companies from all over the area moved in to calm the flames. Fire crews extinguished the flames after a five and a half hour battle, clearing the scene just before 8 o'clock in the morning.

Gas line rupture prompts evacuations in south Bakersfield

10/24/2014 08:13 AM
10/24/2014 02:04 PM

BAKERSFIELD, CA - A 30-inch gas line ruptured in a field near Wible Road and Houghton Road, producing a cloud of dust and potentially explosive fumes that could be seen from a distance.  

Officials report that one million cubic feet of gas was released per minute, and that 8 square miles surrounding the area were evacuated.

The ruptured line was shut off at approximately 10:50 a.m.

Students at Panama Elementary School were preparing to evacuate around 8:50 a.m.

Students met at Berkshire Elementary School at 3900 Berkshire Road.  Panama-Buena Vista School District officials said children are safe and may remain at Berkshire Elementary if parents are unable to get them. 

Law enforcement shut down roadways leading into the area--from Wible Road on the West to Stine Road on the east and from Bear Mountain Blvd. on the south to Taft Highway on the north.  Medical helicopters were put on standby for a short time.

"PG&E is responding to a third party dig west of Houghton Road and Wible Road. It’s located on Line 300, which is a 30 inch transmission line," PG&E Spokeswoman Katie Allen said in a news release. "Our crews are on scene working to stop the flow of gas. Safety is our top priority and we are working with first responders to ensure the area is safe. We are also investigating how this happened."

The gas line ruptured at approximately 7:35 a.m. Friday, the Kern County Fire Department reported.  Firefighters on scene reported residents were evacuated up to Taft Highway.  Others---including students at nearby General Shafter Elementary School--were being told to stay indoors and shelter in place.

Germany gas explosion kills one and injures 10 at Ludwigshafen building site

Accident occurred at building site near chemical plant

One person has been killed and ten injured following what is believed to be an explosion caused by an exposed gas pipe in Germany.

The blast occurred at a building site in Ludwigshafen, Rhineland-Palatinate, at about 11.30am on Thursday. Police and firefighters responded to the scene and immediately shut down the area.

Police confirmed one builder had been killed and four other construction workers are among those injured.

Eyewitness said flames shot as high as 200 metres in the air, according to The Local.

The news site said gas supplier Gascade confirmed the accident occurred when a gas pipe was exposed.

Local police later published a picture of smoke emerging from the site after the fire had been extinguished. Building and vehicles in the surrounding area are said to have been left damaged by the explosion.

The building site is near a BASF chemical plant in the town.

Two others are being treated at the Bonifratzy Hospital in Katowice (Hospital of the Brothers Hospitallers).

“They are in good condition,” a spokesman for the hospital told the Gazeta Wyborcza daily.

25 people were registered as residents in the townhouse, although it remains unclear how many were present at the time of the explosion.

15 tenants were evacuated entirely unharmed, and they took refuge in a nearby church, while fire-fighters brought the flames under control.

Part of the building collapsed following the blast, and windows in a number of nearby buildings were shattered.

Tenants in adjoining houses were also evacuated as a safety precaution.

Thursday's incident marks the second gas explosion in Silesia this month. Victims of an apparent methane explosion at the Myslowice-Wesola colliery were taken to the Siemanowice-Slaskie burns centre following on 6 October. Five miners died as a result of the accident.

Watch your step! Exploding manhole cover on north London street leads to massive power cut

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2796941/watch-step-explodin...

The pavement of a busy London street suddenly 'exploded' into flames last night, shocking residents who had to be led to safety.

A 'huge' fireball burst through a manhole cover on Holloway Road, Islington, north London, after electrical wires became caught in the hole.

Police cordoned off the road while firefighters evacuated homes, helping five people to escape from the smoke.

One woman was treated for smoke inhalation after the blast which knocked out power in the area.

Witnesses spoke of their fear and confusion after smoke and flames started rising from the road at around 10pm.

Jessica Farley said: 'Pavement just exploded outside my flat on Holloway road. Smoke everywhere and a complete power cut. Loads of fire engines and road blocked.'

Kay Lockett tweeted: 'The pavement just exploded outside my flat. No power on Holloway Road. Sat in the dark.'

Another shocked witness, using the name @supreme-nelle on Twitter, said: 'Powercut on my road & some of holloway road because some electrically wires went on fire... The fire was huge! There's no electricity.'

Natural Gas Explosion Sends Flames Shooting into the Sky

 
(PHOTO: courtesy Global News)
 
Flames erupted Saturday morning near Prud'homme when a natural gas release caused a fire at a storage cavern wellhead.
 
It happened at the TransGas Natural Gas Storage Facility northeast of Saskatoon. No one was hurt in the incident however evacuations were ordered within a 2 kilometre radius.

Saskpower says the facility has been isolated from the natural gas transmission system. The crown utility shut down and isolated six caverns at the site. The fire continues to burn natural gas from the affected cavern wellhead. First Responders remain on site.
 
In the meantime, RCMP, Prudhomme and Vonda Fire Departments and TransGas personnel have personnel in that location.
 
The fire is still burning but authorities say it remains contained to that location.
 
RCMP say the fire is non-suspicious in nature. However, travel in the area remains restricted.
 
There has been no loss of service to customers.
