Quote: "Reports of a massive explosion and fire near Lake Eufala have many Oklahomans worried. We are told this is happening at the Twin Rivers Trailer Park in McIntosh County. A 911 dispatcher says a firefighter has been injured, and that several mobile homes are on fire at this time."

Quote: "About 20 travel trailers and an unknown number of boats have been burned at Twin Rivers Estate off Highway 150 and Highway 169, according to Checotah's emergency manager."

Note: People are still parking their RVs and boats next to other RVs and boats?! Learn or burn, and the Earth doesn't care a bit which choice people make...

2014-01-28 - Tire fire at recycling center visible from space still burning after two weeks, in North Yorkshire (Britain):

http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/10969457.Tyre_fire_still_burning_nearly_two_weeks_after_it_started/

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

Quote: "Several residents reported hearing a loud explosion in Syracuse Saturday night around 7 p.m. One reported smoke drifting across a park and another seeing a flash. The explosion was said to be strong enough to rattle windows."

2014-01-26 - Mysterious explosion shakes homes and rattles residents in Claremore (Oklahoma):

http://www.fox23.com/mostpopular/story/Claremore-rocked-by-unexplained-noise/J5crZh6r306yVH2aqRlWGw.cspx

Quote: "A sergeant told FOX23 that several of officers heard a large boom that shook the buildings and police received several reports from all over town and surrounding communities. Despite all the reports, no one has been able to locate any evidence of an explosion or a site where the sound originated."

Note: Claremore is near Oologah Lake and is northeast (downwind) of the Arkansas River. These mysterious city-shaking booms really started escalating a couple of years ago, right around the time methane began heavily splurting from the Arctic, off the coast of Israel, off the US East Coast, etc. That's also when mysterious HazMat incidents, sometimes involving odors, began sickening people. These explosions are highly likely caused by atmospheric clouds of methane and/or hydrogen sulfide finding an ignition source and detonating. Once these explosions start destroying towns and cities instead of merely shaking homes and terrifying residents then our time of living on the surface of the Earth will be just about over...

Quote: "St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP responded around 1:05 a.m. to what they're calling a 'loud explosion.'"

Quote: "Witnesses who live close to the scene said it was massive. Paul Rawluk lives nearby and drove to the site. 'As we got closer, we could see these massive 200 to 300 metre high flames just shooting out of the ground...'"

Note: Otterburne is just east (downwind) of the Red River. Check out the pics, see how humongous this fire was. The utility poles look tiny compared to those flames...

http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/article/id/289657/

Quote: "The Two Harbors Fire Department was called to what was reported as an explosion in the 1300 block of Press Camp Road shortly before noon, Fire Chief Mark Schlangen said. When firefighters arrived, the two-car garage was engulfed, and flames had extended into the house’s attic space..."

Note: Two Harbors is located on the shore of Lake Superior...

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=9406934

Quote: "Authorities say it utilized 'balloon construction', with long framing members and continuous open spaces within the walls, which makes it tougher to stop fires once they’ve started."

Note: That's precisely when buildings under construction are most vulnerable to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem: in the framing stage. It's a race now, to get construction completed before fire strikes...

http://nypost.com/2014/01/24/manhole-explosions-rock-upper-east-side/
http://www.roonte.com/www/manhole-explosions-rock-upper-east-side

Quote: "Explosions rocked East 89th Street as manholes caught fire Friday morning, scalding cars and blowing out windows, witnesses and officials said. Upper East Siders awoke to two explosions and flames blasting from manholes near 150 E. 89th St., between Lexington and Third avenues, about 6:30 a.m., according to witnesses and the FDNY. 'The second one broke my window. It sounded like a bomb. It shook my whole building,' said Rene Ashcraft, a 42-year-old personal trainer who lives steps from the manholes. 'The explosions were five minutes apart. After the second one, my whole window lights up with fire. The flames were everywhere. They were about 4 feet high,' he added."

Note: And the day prior, underground electrical explosions and fire hit Brooklyn, as mentioned in the 2014-01-23 update. I mentioned then that New York is getting hit worse by underground electrical explosions and fires than any other city, at least so far. What if entire city blocks start exploding and burning? Seems entirely possible. I guess then those evacuation signs that went up along the East Coast in 2012 will get some use. They want to blame salt, which means they're oblivious to the fact that these underground electrical explosions and fires were happening - and escalating - before the first snowfall...

2014-01-23 - Large machine bursts into flame, fire gets huge, devastates industrial building in Mentor (Ohio):
http://www.news-herald.com/general-news/20140123/no-injuries-in-fire-at-mentor-business
http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2014/01/fire_forces_evacuation_heavily.html

Note: The machine that burst into flame was in the area used by a metal coating company, and nobody was there at the time, so this sounds like the industrial version of all the parked vehicles that are bursting into flame. An auto parts company nearby was also damaged. Any machine that uses electrified copper and/or which is made of steel (which rusts), and which contains anything flammable (like plastic wire insulation or flammable fuel) is now a fire risk, and the machine need not be running for fire to erupt...

2014-01-23 - Tractor trailer bursts into flame at 5:45 AM at gas station on Route 47 near Dwight (Illinois):
http://www.morrisdailyherald.com/2014/01/23/semitrailer-catches-fire-at-gas-station/a69bmgt/

Quote: "A semitrailer carrying about $1 million in audio and visual equipment caught fire while stopped at a gas station in Dwight early Thursday morning. The Dwight Fire Protection District was called to Loves Truck Stop on Route 47 about 5:45 a.m., Deputy Fire Chief Justin Dyer said. The cause of the fire is under investigation, he said, but it appears there was a malfunction of the brakes."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite."

Quote: "Crew Manager Jim Clark said: 'There was no owner around and no reason for the van to spontaneously combust.'"

2014-01-23 - Car bursts into flame at 6 AM while parked on Blackwall Way in coastal London (Britain):
http://www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/news/fire_crews_tackle_mysterious_car_fire_on_blackwall_way_1_3238115

Note: Hah, same exact situation as the van above - a parked vehicle spontaneously igniting. But they think the van is arson, but not this one. Why? It's probably because this car went up in flames on a busy street (right next to the River Thames too) at a time of day where there were lots of people who saw it spontaneously ignite, but there was no one around the van when it spontaneously ignited. So, if witnesses are present, not arson. If no witnesses are present, then assume arson. Well, guess what, vehicles aren't ONLY spontaneously igniting when someone's around to see it happen. Vehicles are going up in flames whether anyone is around or not, and just because nobody is there to see it doesn't mean anybody was involved in starting the fire...

Quote: "Industrial Wood Products is a division of Paltech Enterprises. It makes pallets and crates, and has about 40 employees."

Quote: "Firefighters are on scene at a large structure fire at Industrial Wood Products at 2161 Industrial Court in Ozark. According to a viewer who spotted the fire, it is 'as tall as trees.'"

Quote: "The fire spread from outside pallets to the main building and grew rapidly..."

Note: Not far from Lake of the Ozarks and near numerous creeks and streams. A fire involving pallets just hit a recycling yard in Pomona (California), as mentioned in the 2014-01-19 update. The day before that, a pallet company burned near Falkville (Alabama). Pallets are made out of wood that will absorb hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, and they're held together with nails/screws/staples, which rust, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rust. So pallets are now like fire-starting kits, with built-in igniters embedded in the wood fuel. Still not as big a threat as vehicles though...

Note: Palletocalypse! From the full hypothesis: "Wood-related fires will escalate, including fires at pallet companies, wood-carving businesses, furniture businesses, door companies, cabinet companies, etc."

Note: Laerdalsoyri is located along the banks of the Laerdalselvi River. The city of Dukekong (China) was virtually razed not long ago too, at 1:27 AM, as mentioned in the 2014-01-10 update, so this is the second huge fire to wipe out a goodly portion of a city this month...

http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/fire-recycling-plant-pomona-241111691.html

Quote: "Officials said the plant’s yard was filled with newspaper and wooden pallets adding fuel to the stubborn blaze."

Note: And the day prior, a pallet company burned near Falkville (Alabama). Pallets aren't as big a threat as vehicles, but they're still pretty bad. It's the combination of materials that's the problem. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel, like the nails/screws/staples that hold pallets together. So some hydrogen sulfide blows by, some sparking and sizzling breaks out near the rust, a spark falls on the wood - which itself may have absorbed some methane and/or hydrogen sulfide - and then you have a fire. Pallets are also often stored outdoors - as in this case - which means they're fully exposed to whatever blows by in the atmosphere...

Note: It's worth watching Australia's fire season even if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, because it's probably gonna be the same or worse on the West Coast of North America once fire season begins again.

Note: There are those popping sounds again. The owner was charging his car battery when the fire erupted. Nobody was home at the time. Battery charger means lots of exposed electrified copper, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrifed copper, like battery cables and other wiring in vehicles. This fire is no different than all the other parked vehicles spontaneously igniting these days, and here's yet another residence destroyed after a parked vehicle went up in flame. Learn or burn. Reality doesn't care a bit which people choose...

Note: Two metal businesses hit by explosion or fire, both in coastal areas. From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers."

2014-01-17 - Home explodes and burns in Bellflower neighborhood of coastal Los Angeles (California), nobody home:
http://www.loscerritosnews.net/2014/01/17/breaking-explosion-in-bellflower-rocks-neighborhood-on-cornuta-street/

Quote: "Another local neighbor is Michael Soufoeft and he told HMG-CN that he lives 250 feet away from the house where the explosion occurred. 'It shot a fireball at least 50 feet in the air. 30-foot flames ensued. I climbed on top of the roof the to survey the situation and saw a massive fire. Fire companies arrived soon and the fire was contained. The explosion was incredibly loud. Houses don’t normally blow up around here,' Soufoeft said."

Note: Correction, houses didn't normally USED to blow up around there. As the Pacific Ocean belches up more methane and hydrogen sulfide, both gases will blow onto the West Coast and more fires and explosions will occur, and of course more people will sicken and/or drop dead. This is already well under way...

2014-01-17 - Britain issues fire safety alert to recycling facilities after so many serious fires in recent times:
http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/main-topics/general-news/fire-safety-alert-at-recycling-sites-1-6381235

Quote: "Fire safety at recycling plants should be urgently reassessed following a recent spate of serious blazes, including one at used tyre plant in North Yorkshire which started on Thursday and is expected to burn for a week."

Quote: "There have also been serious fires in the last 12 months at recycling plants in Dewsbury, at a site near Redcar and in plants near Stockport, at Smethwick in the West Midlands and in Scotland."

Note: Fires are escalating at recycling facilities, exactly as I said would happen. Insurers are getting reluctant to insure these places too and the insurers that still take the risk want a lot more money for doing so. From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

2014-01-17 - RV trailer bursts into flame while parked at RV park in Flagstaff (Arizona), 1 injured:
http://www.azfamily.com/news/1-burned-in-Flagstaff-trailer-fire-240903761.html

Quote: "When firefighters arrived, they saw the fire spreading to a nearby trailer and found a person with critical burn injuries."

Quote: "The trailer park manager said the RV that caught fire had been abandoned."

Note: So the vacant RV trailer spontaneously ignited, then that fire spread to an adjacent trailer and burned the man inside it. Like I've mentioned, it's not wise to park your vehicle next to other vehicles, and that's especially true if you SLEEP in your vehicle, else you just compound the chances of waking up to fire...

http://www.ktvu.com/videos/news/san-mateo-county-fire-season-rages-on-in-jan/vCNhLS/

Quote: "Long-time residents told KTVU there's never been a fire at that location, that it's hard to burn anything on the coast because it's always so moist."

Quote: "Firefighters have responded to more than 150 wildfires across the state in January, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Normally, about two dozen fires are reported by this point in the year."

Note: So that's about 500% more than normal...

Note: Another vehicle moving on its own after burning. Seen that happen quite a few times now. The most notable example so far was in May 2013, when a boat burst into flame, started itself, then took off across Coffs Harbor in Australia, smashing into other vessels, as mentioned in the 2013-05-03 update...

Quote: "A firefighter on the scene said the convertible caught fire in the parking lot."

Note: For the obvious reason, convertibles are more vulnerable to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem than other vehicles. It's not wise to park your vehicle near ANY other vehicle, but I definitely wouldn't park near fuel tanker trucks or convertibles...

Note: Another car burned too, but that one was stolen, and I give them the benefit of the doubt on those. (Although stolen cars are not magically immune to the igniting properties of hydrogen sulfide any more than any other vehicle is.

Note: Not looking too good for people who don't want to burn to death. Might wanna watch where you keep your clothes, keep them away from vents, windows, basements, and keep them off the floor, maybe run an ozone generator near them too. And spend as little time near vehicles or any kind of flammable vapors as you can...

If so, you could end up getting burned out of your home like the family in Bradley Beach there. As time goes on and the atmospheric contamination intensifies, this problem is going to get much worse. If the grid goes down, even alternative sources of electricity (like generators and solar panels) will be a danger, seeing as they also use electrified copper. Solar panels don't use flammable fuels so they'll be somewhat safer than standard generators, since you won't burn to death from the Ghostly Match igniting while refueling...

http://www.dawn.com/news/1079815/night-fire-destroys-ancient-tibetan-town-in-china

Quote: "Photos and video footage show the town engulfed in a sea of fire that turned the night sky red."

Note: There've been a couple of small communities wiped off the map by fires in the last year or so, one near coastal Myrtle Beach (South Carolina) and I don't remember where the other one was, but this may be the first significant town to be so utterly devastated...

Quote: "Baffled families were woken by a mysterious loud bang heard across East Yorkshire early this morning. Dozens of people from Hull to Withernsea took to social media after hearing the noise echo through the skies at about 3.30am. Others posted about the sound from as far away as Cleethorpes and Derby. Many believed a thunderclap was to blame but the Met Office said there was no storm in the area at the time."

Note: This area is on a peninsula that juts out into the North Sea. These mysterious explosions are clearly escalating all around the world. These explosions are very likely caused by the detonation of atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plumes. Sometimes, if they occur high enough in the sky and anyone is around to notice, they are accompanied by a 'flash of light'. Eventually these atmospheric explosions may rival the small nuclear explosion that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus any radiation...

Quote: "People living inside the five-story building said they smelled gas, then heard a loud explosion."

Note: Which type of gas? Do they mean they smelled the 'rotten egg' odor of mercaptan added to natural gas, or do they mean the 'rotten egg' odor of hydrogen sulfide (probably mixed with methane coming off that huge 2.5 gigaton deposit that's melting off the East Coast)? They probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Either way, here's yet another residential building exploding...

Note: This sounds like the work of the Ghostly Match. A man was critically injured by an explosion and fire as he gassed up at 6:23 AM at a gas station in Danbury (Connecticut), as mentioned in the 2013-12-20 update. A mother and her young son were incinerated at a gas station in Meho (India), as mentioned in the 2013-12-18 update. Many boats have burst into flame and/or exploded while refueling, especially in the past year. I mentioned refueling specifically for a reason. You'll be increasingly likely to get burned while refueling as time goes on and the atmospheric contamination proceeds. You won't see it coming until the Ghostly Match ignites and then it's too late...

http://www.topix.net/forum/city/fort-bragg-ca/T5UUC55HKV0C65K9O

Quote: "Fire Chief Steve Orsi said fire investigators could find no explanation for the blaze, which started on or near a bench in the cabin and wiped out all the radio equipment."

Quote: "'We were out there for a while. We just could not find a good source of heat' that would have sparked flames."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. All the electronics on this ship were incinerated. So, some hydrogen sulfide probably got in this boat, possibly mixed with methane, some sparking or sizzling occurred near some electrified copper, some sparks landed on the bench and tada, fire. The owner of this boat might still have a boat if he'd disconnected his battery before he left. Another boat just burned the night before, nobody aboard that one either, while docked in coastal Galveston (Texas), as mentioned in the 2014-01-08 update. Same problem...

Quote: "It was the second tire problem Karin Rochelle had to deal with on a Megabus this trip, 'The first bus was late by 2 ½ hours because of a tire blowout and then today this,' she said. Rochelle says she’s a singer on her way to compete in America’s Got Talent."

Note: A tire ignited and started this fire. That's becoming commonplace, especially with big vehicles. From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite."

http://www.abc6onyourside.com/shared/news/features/top-stories/stories/wsyx_licking-county-barn-fire-kills-dozens-farm-animals-28490.shtml

Quote: "Investigators believe a barn fire that killed dozens of animals early Thursday morning may have been sparked by heat lamps."

Note: Could be, but not necessarily how they're assuming. If some methane and/or hydrogen sulfide infiltrates a barn and meets a heat lamp, the heat from the lamp may ignite the gas(es). If hydrogen sulfide is involved then the copper wiring for the lamp (or any other electrified copper or rusty iron/steel) may cause ignition as well. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making those hours the most dangerous in terms of fires, explosions and animals and people sickening and/or dropping dead...

All the while, explosions shook the neighborhood as tanks and transformers were claimed by the flames."

Note: First fire was at a home in coastal Port Richmond. Second fire was in coastal Brighton Heights. Third fire was an unoccupied apartment at an apartment building about half a mile from Upper Bay. They say these fires were unrelated. Well, not true. They were definitely related by geography, proximity to the coast, and the atmosphere. I guess fire officials on Staten Island aren't aware of the 2,500,000,000 TONS of highly flammable methane clathrates dissociating (melting) off the coast there. Maybe they'll even wake up BEFORE the East Coast is destroyed by fires and explosions. Or maybe they won't. Time will tell...

Note: More electrified copper igniting. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. The US gubment has trained for a widespread grid failure, and this is why. Oh sure, that'd be useful in the event that we get hit by an EMP or solar flare too, but those are just possibilities - this copper reactivity problem is ongoing. It's actually worse than an EMP or solar flare too. An EMP would hit a geographic region. A solar flare might hit half the planet. Atmospheric contamination will affect the ENTIRE planet, and it'll just continue to worsen, likely for thousands of years. Living humans will have long since abandoned the surface of the Earth by then though, either voluntarily by relocating, or involuntarily by dying...

2014-01-08 - Mysterious explosions rattle residents in Fond du Lac (Wisconsin), near Lake Winnebago:

http://journaltimes.com/news/state-and-regional/explosion-like-sounds-rattle-residents/article_515ee9a2-6026-5055-8107-30c6bdc2eeba.html

Quote: "The series of explosion-like sounds rattled residents from Waupun, Campbellsport and elsewhere Tuesday and sent Fond du Lac County sheriff’s deputies out looking for a cause. Geologists say the booms were likely a phenomenon commonly known as an ice quake. It’s caused by water that sinks into the soil and bedrock where it freezes and expands, causing an explosive popping sound that feels like a mild earthquake."

Note: That'd almost sound believable, except these mysterious explosions didn't happen like this in previous years, and it was also happening in the spring, summer and fall when there were no freezing temps. Also, some of these mysterious explosions are accompanied by a 'flash of light' in the sky, and this 'ice quake' story doesn't even begin to explain that...

Quote: "At around 4:15 a.m., the truck was heading south on Interstate 5, just south of Woodbridge Road, when one of the tires blew and caught fire. The fire spread to the axle, then to the trailer and finally to the cab of the truck."

Note: The tire probably exploded BECAUSE it was on fire. From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite." Also see the horrifying tanker truck fire and explosion in coastal Lagos (Nigeria), caused by brake failure, in the accidents section...

http://news.yahoo.com/video/extreme-cold-causes-more-odor-005036204.html
http://news.silobreaker.com/foul-stench-intensifies-around-bridgeton-landfill-5_2267651751995768857

Quote: "Some homeowners speculate that while the gas extractors are under repair, the toxins they are intended to control are being released into the air. Homeowners say they can smell the foul stench inside their homes. It’s been described by some as the source of nausea and headaches."

Quote: "The fire has intensified over the past three years. Residents say they are frustrated, stressed out and afraid of what‘s next. Their anxiety is intensified by the fact that the Bridgeton Sanitary Landfill sits within 1,500 feet of buried radioactive waste at the West Lake Landfill."

Note: Yep, that stench is at least in part hydrogen sulfide, and it is poisoning the people nearby. It's not at high enough levels to just outright knock the whole city dead (yet), else they would lose their ability to smell it because of olfactory paralysis, but they may experience long-term health issues like neurological problems, heart problems, kidney problems...

2014-01-07 - Underground fire breaks out at 1:30 AM in Lilton Angarpathra, Katras (India), 19 families flee:

http://www.telegraphindia.com/1140108/jsp/jharkhand/story_17761227.jsp
http://www.topix.com/in/dhanbad/2014/01/fire-in-katras-19-families-displaced

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and it will tend to seek out low-lying areas, like underground areas and facilities. It's also extremely flammable, much more flammable than natural gas or methane, and because it is so reactive with so many different things it will ignite very easily, causing fires and explosions. These underground fires and explosions are clearly escalating...

2014-01-07 - Mysterious explosions shake homes and rattle residents in Colonial Heights (Virginia):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=UEV-20140108-42205-USA

Quote: "Some call them booms while others referred to them as explosions. Some said the noises were so intense that they rattled their homes. 'It's a loud, loud boom,' Clint Lanier, who lives in Chesterfield County, told CBS 6 senior reporter Wayne Covil. 'It ain't no shotgun and it ain't no kind of gun. It's like an explosion.' Sgt. Rob Ruxer with Colonial Heights police said dispatchers received at least three calls just before 5:30 p.m. Sunday from citizens in separate areas of the city about a loud noise."

Note: This is sort of a coastal city. The James River goes inland from the coast and hits Colonial Heights, and then turns into the Appomattox River, with Colonial Heights located where the two rivers meet. These mysterious explosions really started escalating around the world a couple of years ago, right as methane began seriously spewing into the atmosphere, and right as events involving 'rotten egg' odors began escalating. Not a coincidence. Both methane and hydrogen sulfide are explosively flammable and as the atmospheric contamination intensifies, more fires and explosions are to be expected. Eventually these explosions may rival the small nuclear explosion that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus the radiation, unless an explosion takes out a nuclear plant, many of which are located on coasts and all of which are near bodies of water for cooling...

Note: A woman's hair burst into flame while she slept at home in Houston (Texas) too, as mentioned in the 2013-11-30 update. Hair is an absorbent material and will absorb hydrogen sulfide and methane and then ignite very easily. It was probably static electricity that ignited the woman's hair in Houston...

Note: Like hair, clothing will absorb methane and/or hydrogen sulfide and then ignite very easily. If there's any hydrogen sulfide involved then these fires will be extraordinarily hot too...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas, so it will tend to flow to low-lying areas like basements, underground areas, ponds, lakes, seas, oceans, springs, streams, creeks, rivers, quays, bays, valleys, ditches, canyons, passes, etc. It's also highly flammable and it's reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. As the atmosphere becomes increasingly contaminated, not only will more people and animals sicken and die, but our electrical infrastructure will be consumed. This is already happening, but obviously it's going to get a whole lot worse. This is the reason the US gubment trained for a widespread grid failure scenario, not EMPs or solar flares. We may or may not see an EMP or solar flare - who knows - but we're ALREADY seeing the atmospheric contamination problem. This electrified copper reactivity problem is also causing lots of parked vehicles to spontaneously ignite, so if you park your vehicle next to your home then you're gambling big-time and you could lose everything, including your life...

http://www.wjtv.com/story/24365509/fire-destroys-familys-house-and-cars

Quote: "Homeowner, Melvin Young says he heard a popping sound this morning outside his home at 2255 Forest Park Drive. When he ran outside around 5:30 a.m. this morning, he saw fire coming from the living room and the car port."

Note: There's that popping sound again, heard right as many fires have erupted in the last year or two. Those sounds are probably small plumes of hydrogen sulfide and/or methane finding an ignition source and igniting. When hydrogen sulfide is involved, the ignition source may be electrified copper (like vehicle wiring) or rusty iron/steel, found on any vehicle. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions, and people and animals sickening and/or dropping dead more likely during those hours...

http://www.falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/10912713.Power_cuts_due_to_electricity_transformer_on_fire_near_Penzance/

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and this problem is resulting in a lot of our electrical infrastructure igniting and/or exploding, and this problem is also causing lots of parked vehicles to go up in flames. An EMP or solar flare is not necessary to bring down the grid; atmospheric contamination by methane and hydrogen sulfide will do the job arguably even more effectively, albeit more slowly...

http://www.thedailytimes.com/Breaking_News/story/Overnight-Blount-County-fires-damage-barn-garages-vehicles-id-045093

Note: A second fire mentioned in the story destroyed a barn on Butler Mill Road in Blount County (Tennessee). I highlight the word 'mill' because mills are always built near bodies of flowing water, to provide free energy for millwork. If you see the word mill, there'll be a stream or creek or river nearby, all of which are low-lying areas where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will tend to accumulate when the wind isn't blowing it onward and from where it will blow when the wind picks up. In this case, a tributary of South Fork Crooked Creek runs right along Butler Mill Road...

Note: Because it was parked. Bad assumption to make these days, what with all the parked vehicles bursting into flame and sometimes even exploding, especially in the wee hours. Obviously they didn't hire any observant fire officials here in this seaside town, else they'd have noticed what's been going on all over the world...

2014-01-02 - In separate incidents, three cars burst into flame in coastal Cape Town (South Africa):
http://www.iol.co.za/motoring/industry-news/three-cars-up-in-flames-in-cape-town-1.1628139#.UsfZwLRAPuw

Quote: "Three Cape Town drivers were lucky to escape without serious injury after their cars went up in flames in separate incidents due to electrical wires short-circuiting."

Quote: "...at about 10.20pm on New Year’s Eve a car short-circuited and caught fire on the N1 incoming on Table Bay Boulevard. The driver was taken to Somerset Hospital for a 'medical condition'."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like battery cables and other vehicle wiring. This same problem is causing many underground electrical fires and explosions, transformer fires, porches igniting, etc. This will become more obvious once it's dozens of vehicles going up in flames in the same city on the same day. That's just a matter of time now...

2014-01-02 - In separate incidents, parked car and vacant home burst into flame within an hour in the wee hours, in coastal Cobden (New Zealand):
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11180984

Note: Because of the Earth's rotation, winds tend to blow west-to-east, so western coastal areas will get hit by hydrogen sulfide and methane blowing in off the waters. This area is on the western coast in New Zealand. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground...

2014-01-02 - Car bursts into flame while parked in garage at apartments in Farmington (Minnesota), fire spreads to garage:

Note: People still park vehicles inside buildings?! All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time. If you don't want a building to burn down then you won't park a vehicle in or near it...

Quote: "Investigators said the fire didn't appear to start in the car's engine, making it suspicious."

Note: I bet it started in something flammable that was near either some rust or some electrified copper. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel and copper, especially electrified copper. So some sparking and sizzling occurs in the wheel well or in some interior wiring, sparks land on the seats or a wheel or some plastic insulation and tada, a fire...

Quote: "An explosion was reported about 8:15am, and within minutes a fire raged through the building..."

Quote: "Four Minneapolis firefighters who were the first people on the scene of the Cedar who Ave. explosion tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS 'it was nothing we had ever witnessed before.' Captain Joe Mattison, in an exclusive interview, tells 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS 'when we rolled up on the scene, I knew it was not a great way to start the new year.' Mattison says 'there were victims in the street, people hanging out of windows and even people who jumped out of windows. Captain Mattison described it as a 'war zone.'"

Quote: "I witnessed another person on the ground who had already jumped out of one of the upper level windows and that person did not have any legs."

Quote: "...I had to coax him down because he was in shock and his skin literally peeled off his arm like a glove."

Quote: "A spokeswoman for the natural gas utility CenterPoint Energy strongly discounted natural gas as a likely cause. 'We had no natural gas in the area,' said Rebecca Virden, basing her information on CenterPoint’s own investigation and testing in the area. If it were attributed to natural gas, Virden added, 'the roof would come off, the walls would come out.' She offered that if there was a gas involved, 'it could be a different type of gas.'"

Note: The 'authorities' are trying to hide what's happening, but how can they cover it up? They try to blame events like this on natural gas, but the gas companies - who are likely not to blame in many of these building explosions - don't want any blame, especially when they're actually blameless. Also, nobody smelled any natural gas here. Different kind of gas? Yes, like methane and/or hydrogen sulfide blowing around in the atmosphere, probably all or mostly methane in this case, and methane is completely odorless.
