The Tel Aviv municipality on Saturday informed dozens of residents of two apartment buildings in the center of the city that they may return to their homes, days after they were evacuated when the ground suddenly began heating up and emitted steam.
Experts who were called in did not detect any dangerous substances at the site or any risk to the buildings’ stability, and the source of the heat was said by the municipality to be "trapped energy" from an unknown source. . . .
On Thursday, residents of an apartment building on the northern end of Ibn Gabirol Street noticed steam coming out of the ground. Tests showed that the steam, which was as hot as 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit), was water-based. Residents, as well as kindergartens in the area, were evacuated.

If water boils at 212 how is the steam only 140 degrees?
It’s a tunnel Jim.
I’ve had that for about the last week, off an on.

“If water boils at 212 how is the steam only 140 degrees?”
It’s cooling off on contact with ambient air.
At the point of wherever it’s escaping from its probably 212 degrees or higher.
“Pure Energy!”
Sometimes ya gotta just turn the petcock to open and just let off the pressure.
The kraken is being released?
Relative humidity is a factor. The air will give up water vapor at the dew point, releasing latent heat, and forming fog.
Uh oh, those funny looking scorpio-like bugs from the pit of hell are getting restless.
Thread winner🏆
You will have to review the movie My Cousin Vinny.
*Are you telling me that water boils in your kitchen at a temperature that is less than the rest of the world, which is 212 degrees?
Trapped energy? I saw that in Ghostbusters. Do NOT shut off the power grid.
“Steam” is often used to describe visible water vapor in cold air.
I watch the heated bird bath outside steaming every morning.
My thoughts as well...
Fake news, nothing to see here, it’s not a tunnel in which we are doing anything in, just magical dwarf farts.
And the idiots believe them ?????
Indeed it is.
It didn't end well.
Leak in a HTHW or Steam line in an underground casing perhaps?
Pallies dig tunnel under Tel Aviv to cause terrorism.
Israel floods it with 212 degree water.
Pallies stopped and subterranean cleaning at the same time!
