Event Update For 2014-05-18

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.

2014-05-18 - Unoccupied car starts itself at 6:30 AM, rolls away, hits home, ignites fire, in Lodi Township (Michigan):
http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2014/05/vehicle_strikes_mobile_home_re.html

Note: Here's another vehicle starting itself. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, so such fires may 'hot wire' vehicles. This vehicle was left in gear so after it started itself it was able to roll off. The most notable such incident so far that involved a vehicle starting itself was when an unoccupied boat burst into flame, started itself, then tore across the harbor while burning, hitting other boats, in coastal Coffs Harbour (Australia), mentioned in the 2013-05-03 update...

2014-05-18 - At least three dogs attack and seriously injure their owner in Cincinnati (Ohio):
http://www.local12.com//news/features/top-stories/stories/dogs-maul-their-owner-police-take-action-11893.shtml

Quote: "When police got there officers knew they couldn't shoot the dogs while they were tugging and biting the woman's limbs and neck and pulling her around the yard. Specialist Ron Schultz said he fired shots into the ground instead. It worked to distract two of the dogs who then turned on the officers. One of them was shot and wounded. But the third dog never stopped chewing on owner Tammy Tucker. Officer Yvonne Gutapfel said, 'I had to get him off her, he was going to keep eating her.' Specialist Schultz said Gutapfel had to get up close to the dog and shoot it while it was still attached to Tucker's arm. The officers were close by when the calls came in. Schultz says he believes Tucker was close to dying."

Note: This occurred in the East Price Hill area in Cincinnati, which is right on the banks of the Ohio River...
