Apparently an explosion in Bozeman Montana destroyed 4 buildings and now they are letting it burn because they supposedly do not want to shut off the natural gas to the area in the middle of winter.

** "Supposedly" ?? ... Lets Try ... They Cannot Shut Off That ... Which Does Not Have ... A Shut Off Valve !!

Some on GLP have suggested it may be due to methane building up underground from volcanic activity.

**Bingo !! ... They Win The Prize !!!

Maybe the official story is a cover-up?

**Yep !!!!

Not sure but if you type in Bozeman into the search on GLP you'll find a thread or two about it and I posted a news link above. Bozeman is fairly close to Yellowstone.

**Very Very VERY Close !!!!

Also 4.2 mag earthquake in the vicinity today.

**Yes Indeed !! ... Saw That Too !!!

So could the explosion actually be caused by the volcanic gases seeping above ground and the reason for the "can't shut off the gas in winter" excuse is that they actually can't stop the gas at all since it may be volcano sourced?

**That Is Exactly It !!!!

Farewell For Now !!
