MA - As many as 17 house explosions in different locations, Lawrence/Andover, 13 Sept 2018

[badgersmythe]

I can’t believe this , I’ve never heard of anything on this scale before. It will be a miracle if there are no lives lost. It must be absolute chaos. Please let everyone be safe, and like many others on this thread, I always worry about the pets too.

[SuziQ]

How are they going to guarantee that it's safe for people to return home? Switch on your stove and hope your house doesn't explode?

 

[whitelilac]

If this happened here in Calif, with the dry brush everywhere....18 to 20 fires ...it would turn out to be uncontrollable.....
This lady talking...helping people get out...taking action....kudos

I am wondering the same thing

across three separate communities apart from each other

 

[Bravo]

Oh CARIIS LMAO leave it to you.....

 

[whitelilac]

As the woman said...it's just a house.....but heck, it's your sanctuary, your belongings......and what they face.,
I feel bad for all affected.

 

[Bravo]

How do you ever feel safe again. Something so sudden with no warning.

 

[CARIIS]

I so agree !

And I really don't want to be around for a day or two after you think you got everything up and ready to go

if that is not like a needle in a haystack i don't know what is

there has to be secondary damage to other parts of the system when ya got 70 or so lines blowing up

how could you ever figure out if 25 feet below some house somewhere some new metal fatigue was not born ??

I don't know can they find a pin whole leak when they pressure the whole system up ?

gas detectors

i think the duration of this is going to be a lot longer than might be imagined

 

[SuziQ]

Does anyone else find it irresponsible that not one official has had a presser? Where do people go? What do they do? Really odd.
