Is there any word on the causal spectrum of that ?

I figure it to be like plain crash phenomenon:  there is rarely one singular event that brought the air bus to the earth at 9.8 m/s squared, but is usually a string of seemingly unrelated events that culminated in destiny repurposing 100 people's life energy ... despite all attempts to fight gravity while it is happening. 

In this case, I wonder if the home-fuel aspect of infrastructure might have succumb to the same sort of series of events leading inexorably to that fateful afternoon. 

Firstly, there is a 'what' happened. I/we get it... gas + heat ... most importantly, unintended too much gas + heat = boom.   But, I wonder 'how'?

Gas igniting is a black box.  I'm interested in why these houses blew up more specifically, after we figure out the gas delivery culpability.  Like, I imagine (with no facts upon which to formulate that imagination :) ) that somehow the pressure in the line got too great and ultimately exceeded the end point's ability to hold it back. It then flooded homes that probably had ongoing electrical componentry and or you name it, and then detonated was inevitable.  Last words, "Honey - 'you smell that?" But who knows...

About that delivery culpability thing.  I live in Ayer Mass, which as the crow flies is just a couple town away from that area of Massachusetts.  Word travels fast... My neighbors have relatives and friend-spheres that rise and set over that region of the state, and they were telling me yesterday to expect an tort tsunamis out of all this.  Why? Because apparently residence had been complaining and posting signs even, to try and raise attention to the fact that at times ...the stench of gas permeating back yards and thoroughfares was alarming - nothing was ever being done about it.  Hm... interesting.

The gas infastructure around Boston, and north of the city is some of the most dated infastructure in the country.

The fallout from this could be massive. I’d bet your going to see replacements on a massive scale starting as a result.

No other choic really.

Cool. Lots of history here. Here's an old Castle in Gorey and a lighthouse on other side of island. That's someone's private home in foreground of lighthouse. Old German WWII bunkers around too.

Can you travel on that road out to the lighthouse in low tide?

I'm beginning to think that the temps recorded at CEF are as bogus as the day is long. Yesterday BAF and ORE came in at 84. At mia casa it was 85. They came in at 78. Couple that with some of their readings on radiating nights (although they are the unquestioned king in that area) has led me and a few others to believe their sensor is completely out of whack.

The last couple of mornings has been fun with the drone.  Living near a hilltop at 1100 feet with the surrounding area being around 550 feet I'm usually close to the top of valley fog.  As a kid I always wished I could fly a plane or helicopter next to a building CuB and punch the clouds in and out.  Guess the drone is the next best thing.   So yesterday morning took the drone up a 200-300 feet overhead to the cloud tops and tried to punch into them.  For those that like that kind of thing here is my Utube video.

Very Noticeable color changes on most trees in swct, it’s coming. 

Lots of yellows.  And of course the expected drop of leaves without any color shift has started.  Discovered that while mowing yesterday.   I've always found it interesting that that takes place.  The pool's getting closed next week--hopefully before too many of these early drops find their way in.

I was up at Savoy SP in the Berkshires this weekend and I thought things were still pretty muted and green at 2000'+

Looks like rain is moving in a bit ahead of forecast tonight.

It's an AFD on a Sunday night amidst a boring pattern. I'm sure only a few weenies saw it.

Speaking of AFD,  I always see so many spelling mistakes and sentences that don't make sense etc. I didn't read the one you are talking about but it happens very often and is a pet peeve of mine.  If I were sending something out to the public I would double check what I wrote.  It doesn't take too much time to go back and proofread especially in a weather pattern that is fairly benign.

while I understand your point, I don’t think anyone reads those things, aside from us weenies, and perhaps a government official here or there

I'm not sure how it will play out for you in the east, ,but if what we have going on here vectors toward you, you'll have a while to wait for that dry air.

im looking at the radar , seems to be lifting more north.....I really thought south of me was going to get the most out of this, maybe I was looking at a different model, however, some parts of northern NH dry, they need a drink too...
