Gas main break...Gate 1

[Voter2002]

Three Notch & Pegg Rd (Gate 1) - major gas main break...stand by for massive traffic jam!

Is this true???

If so, I'm outta here now.

 

[Voter2002]

Too late...they're closing off the roads now...head for gate 2 while you have the chance!

Guess this will slow down construction on 235 again!???

Pegg Rd is closed, Rt 235 is remaining open....

We go the other way, what you worried about?

Fire trucks came roaring by my building just inside of gate 1 about 10 min. ago. Is there any verification that this is actually true before I start running my mouth to my office mates?

go to http://www.prestons.org/scanner if you don't believe me.

NAS Police is routing all traffic coming out of gate 1 north to Rt 235 north only...

Why not just use Gate 3 and head up Route 5 from Hermanville Road?

Not for ME!!!!! For once, I am glad I work in B.F. Silver Spring. I won't even get off until 6:50 tonight.

I'm home now

When I left, no traffic could turn left out of Gate One onto 235 or go through to Pegg Road.

Even with my windows closed I could still smell the gas (and not from within!!!)

Hollywood also sent a fire truck and ambulance down.

When he returns to Titan, he is directed to the office of the Supreme Ruler to give his report. A little nervous, he decides to light one up, and ...

I think you need the presence of oxygen before methane will explode. Correct me if I'm wrong on that one. Another example is Jupiter's atmosphere, which is about 80% hydrogen. When Shoemaker-Levy impacted years ago, the entire planet should have exploded theoretically. But with no oxygen, no combustion.

Nice story though...
