A/C is a valuable commodity up home. 1.Not everyone has it and 2. Most don't have central air like here in the South, it's window units so it's easier to steal, thus, the cages

A lot of these were central ac. 3-5 tons units with a big cage over it bolted to the ground

Most of those are new/newer homes, so that makes sense.

Can't blame them for the cages.

What incriminating evidence against Hillary Clinton or other DC elites was being stored there?

This sure seems like it’s happening a lot more than it used to. Usually it’s a house though

Was the leak behind the meter?

There have been a few where the leak was outside but collected in a vent or overhang and lit.

Yeah, you are right. I shouldn't have said it for sure. But it was probably a customer leak.

Most people have no idea how decrepit our natural gas local distribution network is in the country. It’s an absolute mess. You’d be shocked if you saw some of the pipe come out of the ground that I have. It’s amazing this doesn’t happen more often.

Here’s one point to illustrate it. I proposed installing sniffers on our entire fleet to do passive detection. We were forced to drop the project because the test units were hitting dozens of times a day and the utility companies are required to respond to leaks quickly. They killed the project because they couldn't handle it.

The same can be said for gathering systems as well. Especially in some of the older conventional fields in Texas. There are gathering networks that have changed hands so many times over the years that the operators barely know where all the pipe is located.

Of course, it’s a little different because those systems aren’t concentrated around residential & commercial areas like the distribution grids.

In any event, it’s just as likely (if not more likely) that this was a customer-side issue considering the gas appears to have accumulated inside the building.

It’s most likely on the customer. Unless it has an inside meter then I’ll call it 50/50.

Gas leak or something more nefarious?
bottom floor only, blown out not in, lack of scorching outside with plenty inside, no crater, no pock marks on facade....

If it's nefarious they suck at it
