Event Update For 2014-02-13

http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html

The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.

A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

Quote: "Volcanic ash from a major eruption in Indonesia shrouded a large swath of the country's most densely populated island on Friday and closed three nearby international airports. Local media reported two people were killed when parts of their homes collapsed after Mount Kelud's explosive eruption overnight. The initial blasts sent millions of cubic meters (feet) of dust and rocks into the atmosphere, according to the country's disaster agency, and could be heard up to 200 kilometers (125 miles) away. Ash up to an inch (2.5 centimeters) deep covered Surabaya, the country's second-largest city, and even farther afield in Jogyakarta, where motorists switched on headlights in daylight. TV footage from towns closer to the peak showed cattle covered in ash."

Note: Volcanic winter may have begun. If it hasn't already begun, all the volcanoes that are erupting are likely to begin it. Time will tell. I'm watching 'cold events' pretty closely now, along with major volcanic eruptions. The signs are becoming more ominous. Volcanic winter all by itself could easily wipe out 90%+ of the human race, yet even if we DO get volcanic winter it's still not the worst problem we face...

 

2014-02-13 - Man's clothes ignite at construction site in coastal Saco (Maine), man badly burned:
http://bangordailynews.com/2014/02/13/news/portland/mans-clothes-catch-fire-while-working-at-saco-construction-site/

Note: I've seen numerous similar fires now, sometimes resulting in people burning to death. Peoples' clothes are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, then not only do they ignite very easily, but the fires burn very hot and cause serious burn injuries. Watch where you keep your clothes. Keep them off the floor, away from ventilation systems, and spend as little time as possible outdoors, especially near or downwind of low-lying areas like bodies of water...
