I live in Northampton MA. The number of registered Republicans is 4.9 per cent. Democrats 50%. Independents round out the field. Seems strange to me since Calvin Coolidge a Republican lived and worked and later retired here in Northampton.

Columbia Gas used to be called Bay State Gas. Bet ya there will be another name change once this innodent resolves itself.

Re: 20 gas explosions in Massachusetts just now!!!
I don’t think it’s going to be faulted on the homeowners/business owners in regards to what was reported yesterday. The gas company is not answering questions because they are going to be legally responsible I would imagine for all of the damage. I’ve heard of this sort of thing occurring in neighborhoods but not a large sector like yesterday. I’m guessing that some sort of pressure reduction station failed or was not set correctly causing the overpressurization. You as a homeowner could keep everything updated as far as safely controls but if your next door neighbor doesn’t, your house could still be at risk.

book
 Quoting: Plan Z


Reg. stations has a kill switch either remotely or on sight, if the system becomes over pressurized, valves will slug shut, if that were to fail, the stations regs depending on the type of regulators in use, would also have a relief valve which would, at higher pressures blow off excessive pressures.

just went outside in NC and smelled gas. Those hurricane winds are carrying the smell?
sure hope there are no explosions here.

Natural Gas has a very narrow range of combustion, what you small is the odorent in the gas, called mercaptan.

A few years ago while going for a walk I smelled Natural Gas between my house and my neighbors...called the gas company just to be safe. An hour later this guy shows up sticking a probe into the ground all over our yards...another hour later a massive crew shows up digging up the road, sidewalk and our yards...the crew chief thanked me for calling saying it was a massive leak and had anyone had a lite cigarette near there it was have been a disaster taking out several homes.

If you smell Natural Gas in the air ...CALL

So gas is dangerous! As we didn't already know. In my country they want homes to change gas for all kind of energy that won't threat the environment and our planet. Not because it is so 'dangerous'.

We have to pay more taxes, pay more fore healthcare and groceries and ofcourse alcohol and cigarettes 'because they are not healthy'. We have to save ourselves and our planet!

The environment and Europe is the most important to Europe. And ofcourse not to be dependent on gas from elsewhere, like Russia. Russia is a 'made up' enemy and should be punished for all they did not.

Very sad these explosions happened to the people in Massachusetts!

Wish them all the possible best! hf

Someone here must be an expert. How would this happen?
 Quoting: Eilonwy


To be the voice of reason, it may have been the first cold night and the first time people turned gas on in their homes after a long summer - so the most probable time for an unnoticed gas leak to present problems in various homes.

But I'm going with terrorists. Totally terrorists.

I think some of the houses I've been in have had gas heating independent of other uses.

Mashed up houses leaking gas?

Atmospheric pressure changes & water depth changes from Florence releasing Methane Hydrates from the Continental shelf sediments? Or swamps.

Is everything still shut down? Is FBI still there?
 Quoting: sum_{n} \frac{1}{n^s}


As the focus turned from emergency response to investigating the cause of gas explosions that caused the fires, National Grid said electricity to 18,500 customers in Andover, North Andover and Lawrence would be shut off at least until 9 am on Saturday morning, while Columbia Gas said it needed to inspect 8,000 individual gas hookups before determining whether they would be safe to turn on.

Re: 20 gas explosions in Massachusetts just now!!!
This is the latest. I have no way to verify this. I heard this on WRKO Radio from callers that called in. Sources include the State Police and Rumors.

The gas rupture was related to some sort of construction in Lawrence, and the rumor is a disgruntled worker sabotaged something, causing it all to blow to hell, and it had to do with the high pressure gas lines like a poster mentioned here last night.

Again, I can not verify this but it’s what I heard.

It's understandable why they should periodically rebrand themselves amidst controversies surrounding a utility involving pipes buried amongst historic infrastructure and be buildings in such a densely arranged grid. An employee sent to mediate and mitigate between grid and building in some possibly impossible situations might well throw down their hat and walk. Maybe rage-quit. With a vast knowledge of the inner workings. With foul intent.
