This happens when the neutral goes out in a house. Usually the waterlines will handle it, but if the house has pex the ground will go through the gas lines.
Especially if a high voltage line comes down on a gas meter for whatever reason.
Definitely run away and call professional… everyone i guess.
Would killing the main breaker at least prevent the heating of the pipes so that the expert isn’t walking into a potentially dangerous situation?
I read that this happened due to a downed power line. Unfortunately, killing the main breaker would not do anything.
I’m a little concerned killing the main breaker might result in a sudden temperature change that might fracture the gas line. Of course if you turn the gas off you might get fried.
This would have also been prevented if the electrical install included an RCD. It would have tripped instantly when the neutral gets disconnected
Shouldn’t everything be grounded through the panel as well? I know I have a ground wire running out to a copper plate in the ground next to my house and my understanding was that if the neutral goes that would serve as the path to ground. Is this house missing that feature or am I wrong?
TEMU particle accelerator
Normal person reading that: particle accelerator from TEMU
Me: oh god, there are TEMU particles??

Looks like it can run doom
“I’ve got a buddy who can do the gas and the 'leccy. Super cheap.”
Hey if it’s keeping you warm then it must be working correctly
“Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.”
Did you know that babies born underwater can spend their entire lives down there?
Mom: “We have CERN particle accelerator at home.”

While it looks scary as fuck, wouldn’t it not actually explode unless the gas pipe melted through? There’s no oxygen in the fuel, so it can’t combust. I guess as the gas heats up, it’s also possible the for the tank or lines to spring a leak.
Either way, I’d be nopeing out and calling emergency services.
Correct. Natural gas can’t be over 15% to burn.
This man exploded 3 seconds later, those are gas lines
I’m sure the water put it out.
I was curious so found the story https://www.newschannel10.com/2024/09/26/tulia-family-displaced-after-home-suffers-substantial-damage-storm/
Nice water-cooled setup!
Specs?What are those equipments?
Time for a shower!
