State police: 70 explosions, fires, gas odor reports linked to gas line pressure issue LAWRENCE, Mass. — State police say 70 fires, explosions and reports of gas odors across the Merrimack Valley on Thursday afternoon are connected to a pressure issue in gas lines. Earlier, residents and workers in Lawrence, Andover and North Andover were urged to evacuate any buildings or homes with Columbia Gas service after the explosions and fires. "Residents in the affected towns of Lawrence/North Andover/Andover who have gas service from Columbia Gas should evacuate their homes immediately if they have not already done so," state police tweeted. "Gas lines are currently being depressurized by the company it will take some time." National Grid also turned off power to all customers in Lawrence, North Andover and Andover. The Massachusetts State Fire Marshal's Office sent investigators to the Lawrence, Andover and North Andover area. The FBI is also monitoring the situation and is sending people to assist in the investigation. Methuen police Chief Joseph Solomon said he was aware of at least one person who suffered serious injuries and several other people who have minor injuries. Andover town officials said three people, including a firefighter, were injured in that town. Lawrence Hospital is currently treating six patients from the gas explosion, two in critical condition. Mass General said it has received one patient via medical helicopter. It's not clear if the Andover patients are the same or different from the Lawrence General and Mass General patients. WCVB reporters at the scene of some of the fires and explosions said the smell of natural gas was overwhelming and likely strong enough to make people sick. Solomon said there was about 20 to 25 fires or explosions in Lawrence, 20 in Andover and about 25 in North Andover. Sky 5 was over several large fires affecting multiple homes near Chickering Road and Springfield Street in Lawrence. At least 12 structure fires were left burning unattended because no fire crews were available to respond. Another house on Chickering Road was reduced to a pile of rubble by an explosion. Solomon said Methuen was not affected by the issue, but he was on scene to assist the emergency efforts in the neighboring communities. Andover town officials are asking everyone in homes and businesses to evacuate. Lawrence Mayor Dan Rivera estimated there are between 20 and 25 fires across the city. "If people smell gas, or see fire in/around home, evacuate," the mayor said. North Andover Town Manager Andrew Mayor said there were many commercial properties affected across the city, with alarms going off in several buildings including on First and Main streets. Mayor said he was told the incidents were believed to be related to a spike in gas pressure. Mutual aid has been called in from Cape Ann, the Boston area and southern New Hampshire. Columbia Gas manages the gas equipment in the region, and was not immediately available for comment. There are an estimated 51,000 Columbia Gas customers in the area. Lawrence City Councilor Mark LaPlante did not have an exact number of fires in that city, but said “there has been a tremendous amount of damage so far.” Shelters have been set up at the Parthum and Arlington middle schools in Lawrence. Delays were being reported on the MBTA Haverhill Line. Exits on and off Interstate 495 were closed in the affected communities. Gov. Charlie Baker said they were "actively monitoring the situations in the Merrimack Valley and is communicating with first responders and public safety officials. The administration urges residents to heed instructions from local officials for important public safety announcements, including evacuations and suspending gas usage." No additional information was immediately available. View image on Twitter ✔ MSP Fusion Center has current updated tally of responses to fires/explosions/investigations of gas odor at 70.

Some mystery re: the sun is making news these days.....dangerous solar flares or perhaps closer sightings of the "second sun"? No one has been given an answer to these reports continuing for several days now! Located not far from Roswell! More hype is expected w/o any answers given at yet. Since the Post Office was shut down too it could involve perhaps "unwanted" items being sent?? Who knows. One of the many articles: SUPER solar flare to WIPE OUT humanity, theorists fear after solar observatory shut down THE National Solar Observatory shut down has some fearing the sun’s activity is much worse than experts are letting on. The FBI swooped on the National Solar Observatory last Thursday, closing it down to employees and the public without explanation. The official line given was “security reasons” but local law enforcement in Sunspot, New Mexico, and workers at the the observatory have no idea what is going on. With no authoritative word as to what is happening, the internet is mustering its own theories and some believe it is to do with an impending solar storm. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a storm watch for a G2-level solar storm on September 11, just days after the NSO was closed. This has led to conspiracy theorists believing a ‘SUPER FLARE’ is on its way which could wipe out humanity and the FBI is not revealing this as they do not want the public to panic. One person wrote on public talk board 4Chan: “Forums are talking about it being a ‘super-flare’ strong enough to turn the surface of the planet into an uninhabitable wasteland. “Either we'll have a press conference this week, or rich people are going to start ‘disappearing’ quietly.” Another person added: “A big enough solar flare from our sun could wipe us out. Probably just as likely as an asteroid. “There are so many threats out there and we are probably past due for a mass extinction event. “ Regular solar storms blast radiation in all directions from the sun, some of which hits the outer atmosphere of Earth, causing it to heat up and expand. This means satellite signals would struggle to penetrate the swollen atmosphere, leading to a lack of internet service, GPS navigation, satellite TV such as Sky and mobile phone signal. However, if a solar flare is strong enough, the radiation which hits our planet would be the equivalent to a global nuclear bomb. But, as many people on the forum point out, there are several solar observatories around the globe, so it would be unlikely that only the NSO spotted a dangerous solar flare. As a result, the mystery rages on with no sign of slowing up until the FBI makes an official announcement. The post office in Sunspot has been closed until further notice with a spokesman for the United States Postal Service telling ABC 7: "We were told on September 6 that we would be evacuated along with the surrounding area, we were not told why. "We were told just to be out of the area. We remain suspended until we are allowed to return.” Otero County Sheriff, Benny House, said: “The FBI is refusing to tell us what’s going on. We’ve got people up there (at Sunspot) that requested us to standby while they evacuate it. “Nobody would really elaborate on any of the circumstances as to why. The FBI were up there. What their purpose was nobody will say.” https://www.express.co.uk/news/weir...rvatory-sunspot-fbi-solar-flare-new-mexico-NM A few messages to Luz de Maria re: solar activity and its effects upon earth (more can be found here: https://revelacionesmarianas.com/en/Solar Activity.html) OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST 11.02.2016 The Sun will emanate a gust of heat so strong that it will greatly affect communications, the security systems of the world powers will be paralyzed… and humankind will see that My Creation does not find man in agreement with that Divine Tuning which man should keep with his Creator. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST 09.27.2016 The sun comes to separate men from technology for several days. THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY 08.01.2016 The sun will launch a strong flare and humanity will live in anguish. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST 07.04.2016 You have forgotten that at some instant the communications will fail either because of the sun flares, or because of strife among men, and humankind will be left without communications. You will not be able to know what is going on somewhere else on Earth. At that time you will be sorry for not having the help of My Angels because you never thought it was necessary to remain close to them and to keep them close to you. At that time you will regret having neglected My Mother and not having called Her ‘Mother’ since I began to warn you.
And within the just released latest message to Luz de Maria of Sep. 12: The sun continues increasing the heat within it, causing an unusual event that will then emanate from it, being a danger for the Earth.
Can we all say- Good for them, let's start taking back our churches: Chicago Parish Cuts Up, Burns Rainbow Flag News: US News by Church Militant • ChurchMilitant.com • September 15, 2018 102 Comments LGBT flag once hung over sanctuary of gay parish, displayed at Cdl. Bernardin's Mass You are not signed in as a Premium user; we rely on Premium users to support our news reporting. Sign in or Sign up today! Parishioners of Resurrection Parish in Chicago, Illinois, held a rainbow flag-burning event last week, cutting up and setting on fire an LGBT flag that once hung in the sanctuary at the parish's first Mass. The event was originally scheduled for Sept. 29, the Feast of St. Michael and the Archangels, but the Chicago archdiocese — heeding complaints by gay activists — called the pastor, Fr. Paul John Kalchik, and ordered him not to hold the event. A handful of parishioners took things into their own hands and decided they would burn the flag themselves. Kalchik is a victim of homosexual rape and abuse, once at the age of 11 and again at age 19. He has been pastor of Resurrection Parish for 11 years. He issued a heartfelt plea to Pope Francis in an open letter calling for an end to clerical cover-up. His strongly worded articles and homilies calling for reform in the Church, in particular denouncing the homosexual predation of clerics, has drawn down the ire of Cdl. Blase Cupich and the Chicago archdiocese, who have threatened to remove his priestly faculties and derail his priestly career. Here, one parishioner explains the significance of the rainbow flag burned at the parish, which used to hang in the sanctuary, including at the 1991 inaugural Mass presided over by Cdl. Joseph Bernardin. ******* The Burning of the Banner It is important to understand why the rainbow cross banner that hung in Resurrection Church when it was formed in 1991 has been burned. This was no regular rainbow flag, but a banner merging the Cross with the rainbow. It was not innocent. It was a signal that this parish would the new "gay" parish, as Fr. Daniel Montalbano's previous church, St. Sebastian, home to gay Masses, had burned down. Cdl. Joseph Bernardin standing beneath the rainbow flag at 1991 inaugural Mass at Resurrection Parish. One of our deacons complained loudly about this banner and what it represented, but those complaints fell on deaf ears. Father Montalbano was a great friend of Cdl. Joseph Bernardin and one of the founders of AGLO, Archdiocesan Gay and Lesbian Outreach. This banner cost $1,000, in a parish whose collection each week was struggling to hit $4,000. Longtime parishioners and deacons have given accounts of the gay Masses that were held in the basement of the rectory, and the wild all-male parties in the parish house. The real story of Fr. Montalbano's death in 1997, at the age of only 50, is too sordid to be detailed on paper. In cleaning out the rectory, many things, including vestments that were used in the hidden Masses, were taken to Fr. Paul's family farm and burned there. Somehow, the rainbow banner was tucked away, but recently found. It is visible in the pictures of the 1991 Mass with Cdl. Bernardin and Fr. Montalbano. Also shown is the parish's first Easter Candle, which is curiously sporting a rainbow, too. No one in this parish, especially our pastor, hates people who have a same-sex attraction. And, in spite of comments by many bishops and even the Pope, the Catechism of the Catholic Church has not changed, nor has scientific research proven that anyone has a gene that makes them born gay. The Church teaches that sex outside of marriage is sinful, and that sex between two people of the same sex is always sinful. Cdl. Bernardin preaching at 1991 inaugural Mass at Resurrection Parish. Easter candles to his left are decorated with rainbow pride colors. Our Church welcomes all people and we are all sinners, but it does not welcome sin; it welcomes conversion. Jesus says to "pick up your cross"; same-sex attraction is a difficult cross, indeed. Father Paul simply calls us to holiness, as he is supposed to do as a priest. Father Paul was asked not to go through with a public burning of the rainbow banner, as complaints were heard from the gay community, and those complaints never fall on deaf ears in today's culture. Therefore, the burning was carried out privately, by a few parishioners. Our prayer service on Sept. 29, the Feast of the Archangels, will be centered on offering our pledges of prayer, fasting and abstinence to the Lord in reparation for the sexual abuse that has gone on and been covered up for so long. It is a shame that he's been told his faculties as a priest might be taken away. It's a shame that we have taken calls from foul-mouthed people who wish him harm. It's a shame he has to start sentences, "If something happens to me ... ." It is a shame that he's been told his faculties as a priest might be taken away. Tweet We hope that Fr. Paul will be allowed to continue to pastor at Resurrection. As a victim himself, he has a heart for people who are hurting, lonely or need any kind of special help. He says most of each week's 13 Masses, and virtually every wedding, funeral and quinceañera. He leads the Rosary twice a week and prays at an abortion clinic every Saturday morning. He is on the Priests Advisory Board for the Respect Life Office. He says Mass at the Women's Center. He supports a local outreach to immigrants. He teaches both RCIA and Catechism classes. He has three regular Communion calls each week but sometimes does more. He keeps this church and its grounds looking beautiful. He fixes and builds things to save money. He truly shows his faith through works. So, to quote the archdiocesan ad for vocations: "Who will fill these shoes?"
Let’s get on the prayer beads for Father Paul! If his faculties are taken away then this cries to heaven for redress. Burning that flag is like an exorcism.
Considering this (from the news report): "Longtime parishioners and deacons have given accounts of the gay Masses that were held in the basement of the rectory, and the wild all-male parties in the parish house. The real story of Fr. Montalbano's death in 1997, at the age of only 50, is too sordid to be detailed on paper. In cleaning out the rectory, many things, including vestments that were used in the hidden Masses, were taken to Fr. Paul's family farm and burned there." and considering that it is widely accepted that Cardinal Bernardin was one of the priests involved in the satanic mass described in Windswept House, a full-scale exorcism of all parish property would be prudent.
These men like Fr Kalchik and AB Vigano are quite simply being made martyrs. Their devotion to God and to His law and love of the Faithful is a testament to each of us.
Still waiting for answers about just why the rushed shut down of the solar observatory in NM. If no solar ejections then what....possibly the now visible....by less than the most powerful telescopes....."second sun" of history as well as warned of in some more recent messages from above....or "aliens"? But then why wouldn't the operators themselves have seen such and speak of that as being the reason? "They Just Evacuated Us": Conspiracy Theories Run Wild After FBI Shuts Down Solar Observatory .....Despite unusually high sunspot activity during an otherwise quiet period and a minor CME ejection which hit Earth last week, it appears that threat has passed, for now - as a CME takes anywhere from one to three days to hit, which brings us back to aliens and other theories. It doesn't help that several public solar observatory cams have gone offline, including NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) which will be offline "for several weeks" in order to update the "code infrastructure that provides access to SOHO data." Others have pointed to the fact that NASA launched a new solar probe last month - the first-ever mission to "touch" the sun, while the space agency will (or has) shot it's Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager (FOXSI) 190 miles into space for a 15-minute "peek" at the sun. .... One reader who wishes to remain anonymous has a few theories, including why other solar observatories around the world haven't been raided and locked down: The many thousands of telescopes world wide are normally looking at the night sky, not at the sun. Additionally, most telescopes are looking at things at distances of 100,000's of light years. They won't "see" a UFO hovering right if front of them, or even a few light minutes away. Only solar scopes are looking at as short a distance as 8 light minutes. The FBI swooping in on a Blackhawk means that "time" was a factor in the "effectiveness" of their response. That the FBI shut down the post office is really interesting. Makes me think someone (unidentified) was trying to get the word out, about something, and the FBI was called in to rapidly shut down efforts to communicate beyond the observatory. Shut down the post office and check all the mail, shut down RF comms (guys on the antenna) and go over the facility with a fine tooth comb to find any memory stick or any "virus" program hiding in a computer somewhere ready to send data out to the web when reactivated. It also wouldn't surprise me to learn that every solar observatory in the world has someone, like their director, who's job is to erase such data. What would it look (to the outside world) like if this designated person at Sunspot AZ contacted the "authorities" and said "we got a 'rogue' trying to get the word out, I need help to shut this thing down"? How about this: what if data collected from the preeminent solar telescope did show we're heading into a Maunder Minimum; mini ice-age for next 100 years or so? I just read before this FBI episode that solar astronomers had discovered a new solar feature deep in the Sun. Don't remember the details, something about a new, big convection cell or something. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018...on-stirs-foreign-power-spying-us-missile-base
We really need more priests/ bishops to be as bold as Fr Paul in preaching the Truth and as devoted as him in worship and ministry. God Bless him.
Parishioners as well. That the laity took action on this matter and dealt with this filth is promising and sends a clear message.
UNBELIEVABLE DEVASTATION! World’s Strongest Storm – Typhoon Mangkhut – BLASTS HONG KONG AND CHINA – At Least 59 Dead (Videos)! MANGKHUT TYPHOON BLASTS HONG KONG AND CHINA! These videos are UNBELIEVABLE! The world’s largest population center takes Direct Hit! Per the Wall Street Journal – Typhoon Mangkhut, the world’s most powerful storm this year, skidded into mainland China on Sunday after claiming at least 59 lives in the Philippines and pummeling Hong Kong and Macau during a devastating churn across the tropical-storm prone region. Although the region remained on alert, the storm was expected to start dissipating after its Sunday landfall. In the Philippines, rescuers searched for victims of landslides responsible for most of the deaths there. In Hong Kong, emergency workers began cutting away trees that fell in major roadways, as the city began what will be a major cleanup. Typhoon Mangkhut packed sustained winds as high as 170 miles an hour, equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane, according to the U.S. military’s joint Typhoon Warning Center. That is about twice the 90 mph winds generated by Hurricane Florence, which struck the U.S. Videos were posted on Twitter showing the massive destruction hitting the Pearl River Delta megacity, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with more than 50 million people. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...-hong-kong-and-china-at-least-59-dead-videos/
Don't fool around with God's anointed!! But sad that the innocent must suffer for the sins of the leaders.
You just can't make this stuff up. Another sad element to this story is that a woman died in June due to the poison being discarded so carelessly, The Russian Fitness Instructors Who Wanted to See Salisbury Cathedral but Ended Up Poisoning Sergei Skripal By Sam Knight | September 14, 2018 | https://www.newyorker.com/news/lett...thedral-but-ended-up-poisoning-sergei-skripal Ruslan Boshirov, left, and Alexander Petrov, the two suspects in the attempted assassination of a Russian defector, say that their sightseeing trip to Britain was only a coincidence. Photograph from Sputnik / AP On September 5th, the British police named two suspects in the attempted murder of Sergei Skripal, a former colonel in Russian military intelligence who later spied for the United Kingdom. Skripal was poisoned with a nerve agent in the cathedral city of Salisbury, earlier this year. According to security officials, Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov—most likely aliases of agents of the G.R.U., Russia’s military-intelligence service—landed at Gatwick Airport on the afternoon of Friday, March 2nd, on an Aeroflot flight from Moscow. They then travelled to Bow, in East London, and checked in to the forty-nine-pound-per-night City Stay Hotel, a drab, four-story house with black grills on the windows and fifty ratings of “terrible” on TripAdvisor. That weekend, Britain’s extensive network of CCTV cameras recorded the men making two visits to Salisbury from London—one for a couple of hours on Saturday, and another, longer trip on Sunday, when images showed them not far from where Skripal lived, in a quiet cul-de-sac away from the city center. The two men, at around noon that day, are believed to have applied Novichok, a Soviet-era chemical weapon, which they had carried inside a bottle of Premier Jour perfume by Nina Ricci, to Skripal’s door handle. The assassination attempt failed. Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, were exposed to Novichok that afternoon but survived. A police officer who touched the door handle was also poisoned but recovered. But the release of a nerve agent in a British provincial city on a Sunday afternoon triggered a deep crisis in relations between London and Moscow and has led to the expulsion of hundreds of Russian diplomatic staff from embassies and consulates around the world. For weeks, security officials scoured Salisbury for traces of the poison, in order to prevent a public-health emergency. In June, three months after the attack, the discarded perfume bottle turned up among donations to a charity shop in the city. A local man named Charlie Rowley bought it to give to his partner, Dawn Sturgess, who dashed the chemical across her wrists and died. By that time, Petrov and Boshirov were long gone. They went straight to the airport from Salisbury on March 4th. They were in Britain for a total of fifty-four hours. On Thursday morning—a little more than a week after they were named as suspects and a day after Vladimir Putin identified them as “civilians”—two men answering to the names of Petrov and Boshirov were interviewed on RT, the state-sponsored Russian news channel. Sitting in a beige room at a large table, they wanted to make clear that there had been a big misunderstanding. “This whole situation is just a fantastic, fatal coincidence,” Petrov said, in Russian, swivelling slightly in his chair. The truth was that they were ordinary guys. Petrov and Boshirov were their real names. They were fitness instructors—they didn’t want to say more—who advised their clients on which vitamins and “micro-elements” to take. A friend had been telling them for a long time that they should really try to check out Salisbury Cathedral. “It’s a touristic city,” Boshirov explained. “There’s a famous cathedral there, the Salisbury Cathedral. It’s famous not just in all of Europe—it’s famous all over the world, I think. It’s famous for its hundred-and-twenty-three-metre spire. It’s famous for its clock, the first clock made in the world that still runs.” The problem, which, weirdly, no one was talking about, had been the weather. Petrov and Boshirov had wanted to go to Salisbury for the day and then have fun in London. But, when the Russians got to Salisbury on that Saturday, it was damp and cold. “We got wet up to our knees,” Boshirov complained. (In Moscow the day before, the temperature had been ten degrees colder.) The cathedral, which is a twelve-minute walk from the train station, was too far to reach, and Stonehenge and Old Sarum, Salisbury’s other exceptional tourist attractions, were out of the question. The two men gave up and returned to London to buy shoes and jackets on Oxford Street. Undeterred, they had gone back to Salisbury on Sunday, where they might have gone near Skripal’s house, more than a mile out of their way—“Maybe we passed it, maybe we didn’t”—and had a much better time, all around. The sun shone; the cathedral was beautiful. “We were walking around and enjoying this English Gothic, this beauty,” Boshirov said. Sadly, the weather turned again. There was heavy sleet, so they headed to the airport in the early afternoon. In other words, it had been a totally normal weekend trip from Moscow to Salisbury (twice) via a shitty hotel in East London. In London, officials have reacted to Petrov and Boshirov’s appearance with disbelief. A Downing Street spokesman described the RT interview as “deeply offensive” to the victims of the attack. A government source told the Daily Telegraph that the suspects’ account was “nuts” and “straight from the pages of Wikipedia.” The bishop of Salisbury, Nicholas Holtam, was unaware of any evidence that two men had visited the cathedral. “It doesn’t really add up, does it?” the bishop told the BBC. The full twenty-seven-minute interview, which is available on YouTube, has the quality of a meandering back-and-forth in the comments section under an otherwise serious story. At one point, RT’s editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan, asks Petrov and Boshirov if they work for the G.R.U. “Do you?” Boshirov shoots back. Some of the men’s answers sound as if they must be code, because they are so baffling. “It’s perfectly normal to go to Geneva,” Boshirov says, of a recent trip to Switzerland. “It is the shortest route to Mont Blanc.” In this sense, the broadcast is in keeping with the rest of the Skripal episode: an odd, macabre incident that is hard to explain, impossible not to talk about, and which you sense, deep down, may be a dangerous distraction. “I understand we probably won’t return to normal life as soon as we’d like,” Petrov says, near the end of the tape. “We’re sick of it now,” Boshirov agrees.
