Gas company will be buying people some new houses..................
With so any on strike this should be “interesting”.

Immediate East of there used to be what was the Essex County Gas Company.
They had five houses blow up in as many years, but only one seriously injured, a gas worker. I had talked with a couple of the execs, and they said only one was really their fault - the one caused by the rusting gas main that paralleled a tidally brackish part of the Merrimack River.
The rest had nothing to do with their service or materials. The one I remember was a town digging for a frozen water main damaged a gas main, and the one house they couldn't get into to turn off the gas blew up, throwing a number of personnel through snow banks, including the guy seriously hurt.
