Event Update For 2014-05-03





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.

2014-05-03 - Pallet warehouse erupts in flame after midnight, fire spreads, rescue mission destroyed, in North Hollywood (California):

http://northridge.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/firefighters-battle-fierce-blaze-on-saticoy

Quote: "Authorities are trying to determine the cause of a massive fire that destroyed a rescue mission in North Hollywood and displaced more than a dozen people. The fire broke out early Saturday morning at a wood pallet warehouse adjacent to the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission in the 134000 block of Saticoy Street."

Quote: "The fire was initially reported as a large outdoor palette [sic] fire that extended to an adjacent one-story commercial building that houses the San Fernando Rescue Mission."

Quote: "According to the rescue mission, the fire caused $2 million in damage."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Wood-related fires will escalate, including fires at pallet companies, wood-carving businesses, furniture businesses, door companies, cabinet companies, etc." Also notice that the pile of pallets that ignited was outdoors, fully exposed to whatever was blowing by in the atmosphere. The only mistake this rescue mission made is being located next to a big-ass pile of outdoor pallets...

2014-05-03 - Timber pallets burst into flame at steel business in coastal Port Kembla, Wollongong (Australia):
http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/2258199/bluescope-to-probe-blaze-at-recycling-area/
http://www.allnewsau.com/news/bluescope-to-probe-blaze-at-recycling-area

Quote: "A large fire that sparked in BlueScope Steel's recycling area on Friday afternoon was extinguished late Saturday. The fire started when timber pallets ignited for an unknown reason about 1.30pm on Friday. Fire and Rescue NSW Inspector Jay Bland said the blaze was finally put out at about 3pm on Saturday."

Note: Must've been quite a fire, considering it took them more than 24 hours to extinguish it. Pallets, steel company, right on the coast...

http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Scrap-Yard-Fire-Burning-In-Bridgeport-257812721.html

Quote: "Firefighters from five agencies battled a large scrap yard fire in Wise County on Saturday afternoon. A fire at Bridgeport Iron and Metal sent huge plumes of black smoke into the air. The business is located at 3261 South State Highway 101."

Note: That's just east (downwind) of Lake Bridgeport. From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers."

2014-05-03 - Chemical factory devastated by massive inferno, dozens of nearby homes burn too, in Ajmer (India):

2014-05-03 - Antique cars and private storage building destroyed by huge blaze near Stevensville (Montana):
http://ravallirepublic.com/news/local/article_e5bc4496-d310-11e3-a8d7-0019bb2963f4.html

Quote: "Malone did not know what the building was used for, but said he saw several antique cars inside of the burning structure and was told by locals at the scene that it was a private storage garage."

Note: You can kinda look at things as if we're under attack by our own vehicles. They're burning down our homes, our businesses, our infrastructure, our landscape (lotsa wildfires started by vehicles bursting into flame), burning people to death, holding people underwater after vehicles go into bodies of water, mowing down pedestrians when drivers lose consciousness. Kinda like that Stephen King movie 'Maximum Overdrive', where the vehicles became aware and hostile because of a passing comet or something, except in reality the attacks are more fire-based and mindlessly random. Screw fiction, reality is way more...something. Definitely way more something...

2014-05-03 - Boat explodes and burns at Morehead City Yacht Basin in coastal Morehead City (North Carolina), 2 injured:
http://www.wcti12.com/news/multiple-injuries-reported-after-morehead-city-boat-explosion/25791388

http://www.carolinacoastonline.com/news_times/article_e417321a-d304-11e3-a712-001a4bcf887a.html

Quote: "Witnesses told fire crews the vessel had just been filled with fuel when the explosion occurred."

Quote: "Pollard says he's never had something like this happen at Morehead City Yacht Basin."

Note: Sounds like the work of the Ghostly Match again. I mentioned the danger of the Ghostly Match in regards to refueling. A number of people have been killed by fire and/or explosion at gas stations while gassing up ground vehicles similarly. Same problem, and you won't see it coming until it's too late...

2014-05-03 - In separate events, passenger bus and pickup truck burst into flame in the wee hours while parked in coastal Albany (Australia):
http://www.smh.com.au/wa-news/arsonist-burns-albany-vehicles-20140503-zr3sc.html

Note: They're assuming arson, but they haven't ruled out hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with electrified copper or rusty iron/steel, so they don't actually know if it's arson or not. Given the fact that these fires occurred right on the coast and given the timeframe in which they occurred, it's more probable that they spontaneously ignited, and that conclusion is supported by the fact that there's no motive, no witnesses, no surveillance footage, no evidence of any kind that people were involved in starting these fires. The same exact thing is happening in cities and towns all over the world, and has been for some time, but obviously these fire officials are ignorant of that fact. To be fair, these fire investigators here are no more incompetent than fire investigators in other cities have been. 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 animals and people sickening and dying more common during those hours...

2014-05-03 - Three luxury cars destroyed by fire in Burnside area of coastal Adelaide (Australia), blamed on battery charger:
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/car-battery-charger-believed-to-be-the-cause-of-the-800000-shed-fire/story-fnii5yv6-1226904748077

Note: Seen this numerous times now. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. So you open your car's hood and expose the car's thick copper battery cables and other wiring more fully to the atmosphere, then connect some more electrified copper to your vehicle's wiring, and there are gonna be fires, and there'll more such fires as time goes on. Most of the fires that have been igniting in parked vehicles around the world begin in the engine compartment, where the battery and battery cables are located. Same problem. If you have multiple vehicles parked near each other, then the problem is compounded. This one fire was an $800,000 loss. (Must've been three NICE cars!) If you're going to use a battery charger, you might wanna run a long extension cord and keep the vehicle away from anything you don't want to see on fire while you're charging the battery, like other vehicles, or buildings. That way, worst case, you're 'only' down one vehicle...

2014-05-03 - Man goes swimming, doesn't resurface, found dead in retention pond, in Crosby (Texas):

Quote: "The man who owns the property said one of his workers was swimming in the retention pond and never came back up."

Note: That's what happens when you lose consciousness in the water. You have lungs full of air, but the second you lose consciousness, your lungs exhale all that air, because breathing is an involuntary reflex, and then you inhale water, your body loses all buoyancy, and you don't resurface and your corpse is found later. Hydrogen sulfide can knock you unconscious virtually instantly - it's called a 'knockdown agent' for that reason - and it is water soluble, so people are being poisoned by contact with contaminated water. It's also a heavier-than-air gas so it will tend to accumulate in all the same places that water does. The day prior, 10 people had contact with water and died, and eight more lost consciousness, in Dera Ismail Khan (Pakistan), mentioned in the 2014-05-03 update...

2014-05-03 - Britain braces for Asian predatory wasp invasion:
http://news.easybranches.com/news/1859385.html
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/uk-braced-summer-attack-killer-bees-1447230

Quote: "The hornets, called Vespa velutina nigrithorax, have spread from China through Asia and into Europe. They have already spread as far west as Spain, Portugal and France. In France six people have died from anaphylactic shock after being stung by the hornets, including a 54 year old man who died in 2012 after disturbing a nest. Government ministers fear the hornets could cross the channel from continental Europe this summer in consignments of fruits, timber or cut flowers. The warm weather in southern parts of the UK could provide the conditions that will allow the Asian hornet to thrive."

Note: Maybe they can convince the giant rats to eat the predatory wasps!

  1. Thanks for the report Jonny - with more PA incidents and your good humor interspersed throughout. You have to have a certain attitude to be able to even do this kind of reporting and not be overcome with fear and depression (panic, on the other hand, is normal).

    Just awaitin' my turn, doin' the best I can with what I got . . .

    The dog stories are hard to read. Here you have (a) family pet(s) that you've loved and taken care of for all of its (their) life (lives) and one day it (they) turn(s) on you or chomps your child's head, out of the clear blue! Same with our trusty cars that we spend too much on to keep maintained - all of a sudden, boom - and your house can be torched and everyone killed as a result. And now we have the ground right under our feet (or houses) is subsiding just like that too.
    Makes for some tense living.

    Tom

    1. I lean on Frank Herbert and the Bene Gesserit 'Litany Against Fear' sometimes: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
