BREAKING: North Andover, MA Being Evacuated

[Lip]

It wasn't. But the example of the possible dangers have been a key argument by towns and localities as to why some don't want a gas pipeline running through their towns.

You sound like mumbles on the dangers of 50 cal vs gas tankers in Boston. Gas in piping is very safe..

 

[Oldarmy]

Just in....Charlie Baker issued a statement.
He said that he is monitoring the situation and to follow instructions from officials.
Thank god for for great leaders like him.

My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone affected by this colossal screw up.

Is he heading for the bunker lol.

Before the change to rough out leather we called em "black caddilacs".

I like it. Never heard that one but it’s going into my vocabulary.

America's Dangerous Pipelines

Protesters Say Pipelines Are Dangerous. Are They?

The dangerous ones are under Boston. (Good riddance) the ninby attitude is why new England pays out the keister for utilities.

Please explain. lol

Now it's 70 explosions!!!

I asked my Lawrence cop buddy..."what time does the looting start?"

 

[Lip]

If you are in the area that's affected when things settle out have your plumber or hvac guy check your boiler, furnace, hot water heater, gas dryer, gas chimney valves.

This deal is insane. I'd be calling the gas company telling them they're getting the hotel bill if I'm displaced.

That's going to be the least of their problems

True. I'm meaning displaced as in inconvenience, not homeless.

Turned on the TV to check out the hurricane.

WHAT HURRICANE???

...

My brother was at a Dr appointment in Lawrence. Was waiting for his wife to come pick him up (they only have one car) and she was stuck in the mayhem traffic to come get him. He called me and said he can smell gas...... asked me what he should do......told him start walking dude.....north.....fast. he walked 45 minutes and made it to Methuen and his wife picked him up. Don't know why some folks need to call for advice on what to do in a situation like that. He's my brother and all......but damn man.......if your evac ride ain't getting to you.......fire up the shoe leather express man!

Little to no sense of self preservation.

And there's 300,000,000 + people just like him all over the country. Now, imagine what would happen under much worse circumstances. So glad I live out in the country.

Was literally looking at the news reports on his phone.......knew Methuen was the safe area and had to call me to ask! Damn.

What is wrong with people?

National grid employees locked out. Scab? Union guy sabotage? Contractor? Equipment failure? Take your pick

I was starting to think terrorism. Then they mentioned there was a big gas project in the area. Maybe they hooked up the wrong line.

 

[Cowgirlup]

Power being cut to all of Andover, North Andover and Lawrence.

Now the mayor is calling for all of South Lawrence to evacuate because they power is getting cut. Newscaster mentioned authorities are trying to control the inevitable looting that will happen once the power goes out. Wonder if the PC police caught that. LOL

 

[Lowbird]

News saying now 6 injured. 2 are critical.

News saying now 6 injured. 2 are critical.

From what I’ve seen of this on the news/heard on the radio, that’s a miracle!

 

[1919FAN]

Prayers to the affected and our first responders , I've watched it on the news for over 2 hrs where the hell is Charlie his fat lazy ass should be there in the mix.

 

[JackOfAllTrades]

Probably due to the power being cut.

I guess the natural gas powered generators at the cell sites are not going to work.

 

[drgrant]

FBI now responding. For those smarter than me how difficult would it actually be for a couple booger eaters to set something like this off?

this smells more like "massive technical f***up" than something durka induced....

 

[drgrant]

Call me old fashion but im sticking with oil heat....

Won't matter in some circumstances, gas leaks can propagate underground and get into places it doesn't belong....

 

[cams]

I agree, was asking because there’s people posting here who seem to know a lot more about gas lines and pressurizing then I do. Just speculating if it could be done easily enough if someone chose to.

What the hell is he gonna do there besides get in the way, swing a hose?

Situations like this are better left to the men and women on the ground, not a bunch of admin types.

 

[Palladin]

Charlie is coming on in 5 minutes

 

[Uzi2]

Ya, what a great plan!! Another hole in the facade.

This is why they should be propane or diesel.....stand alone is the only way.

 

[Lank]

Thanks for the warning, heading to bed now.

 

[Buck F]

Easy now, control your SHTF doom boner

Does this mean it’s not go time?

It's early yet, the EBT system is still intact

Lawrence votes blue, I suspect Andover does too.
