http://abc13.com/news/family-loses-everything-after-house-fire/482655/
Quote: "Around 2:00am this morning, Veronica Allen woke up to what sounded like a loud pop on her front porch at her home on Grove Lane. Her husband, Dave, went to investigate and found heavy fire coming from the front of the house."
Quote: "The home was recently given to the family by Veronica's ailing father. They say it was not yet insured and have lost everything."
Note: Popping sound again. That's a gas plume finding an ignition source and igniting in a small explosion, which can ignite anything flammable around. Ignition source can be electrified copper, like a porch light or doorbell wiring, or any rusty iron or steel, like old nails, pipes, barbecue grills, hinges, brackets, etc, or any type of heat source, like a heat lamp or space heater, or fire of any kind. These pops and popping sounds have been heard right as many fires have erupted in the last 2 or 3 years. If you hear a sound like that at your home, you might want to have a look around and see if a fire just ignited. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and animals and people sickening or dying more common during those hours...

Note: More underground stuff exploding and/or burning. Such events really started escalating about 3 years ago, at the same time events involving 'rotten egg' odors began escalating around the world, and at the same time that scientists began noticing that methane was beginning to dissociate (melt) in clathrate deposits around the world. That timing was no coincidence, and everything is still escalating today, and that will continue into the future, even long after there are no more human beings left alive on the surface of this planet...

Our news crew searched several locations in the city of Richland, but was unable to locate evidence of an explosion."
