What is crazy is that I am seeing some reports that the Gas main may have been over pressurized(not confirmed). I have never heard of such a thing with Natural gas. It seems like that would either take an intentional act or extreme negligence. If this happened then it may have also caused the lines to leak or rupture. It may have also turned some gas devices into flame throwers.
Well, gas workers have been striking. That would be the first place I’d look, TBH.
Yeah it’s not there’s a gas pump. Unless a main regulator failed this almost has to be intentional.
Simple equipment failure can do it too.
