Event Update For 2014-05-27





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.

2014-05-27 - Underground electrical fire breaks out on street in Norwich (Britain), near the River Wensum:

2014-05-27 - Underground electrical fire hits Coalville (Britain), 457 homes go dark:

http://www.eastmidlandsnews.org.uk/news/power-lost-to-500-homes-in-coalville-following-underground-fire

Quote: "Firefighters were called to the junction of Melbourne Street and Bridge Street in Coalville after smoke was seen seeping from a manhole cover at about 3.15pm today. The road was closed while crews from Coalville station used dry powder to tackle the flames."

2014-05-27 - Transformer explodes and burns at hospital in coastal Baltimore (Maryland):
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-good-sam-fire-20140527,0,6459291.story
http://baltimore.cityandpress.com/node/7834983

Note: Electricity, who needs it?! Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which will seek out low-lying areas like underground electrical vaults. It's also reactive with rusty iron/steel and copper, especially electrified copper, both likely to be found in underground electrical vaults. That's a problem. Not as bad as going crazy from neurological damage and/or collapsing dead from poison gas, no, but still, a pretty big problem...
 



2014-05-27 - Home destroyed by explosion and fire in Grand Rapids (Michigan), nobody there:
http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2014/05/explosion_house_fire_neighbors.html
http://fox17online.com/2014/05/27/plume-of-smoke-seen-on-grand-rapids-northeast-side/
http://rivergrandrapids.com/explosion-destroys-home-in-grand-rapids/

Quote: "He said a department crew responded to a natural gas complaint in that area about 9:30 p.m. Monday, but did not find any problem."

Note: People smelled 'rotten egg' odor, which is what mercaptan smells like, which is added to otherwise odorless natural gas so that it has any smell at all. Hydrogen sulfide at low concentrations also smells like 'rotten eggs', so people are confusing the two, which may be why workers found no natural gas problems...

2014-05-27 - Biofuel plant destroyed by massive blaze and explosions near Anthony (New Mexico), 350 homes evacuated:

Note: Not sure why that lcsun URL says car fire. I guess there was a car fire on NM 460 near Anthony too? (Wouldn't be too shocking!) But the story is about the biofuel plant, despite the car fire URL...

http://www.kgns.tv/news/local/headlines/Landfill-fire-in-Nuevo-Laredo-260856061.html

Quote: "What fire fighters are calling a massive fire, was reportedly sparked at a city landfill. It spread and caused thousands of used tires to burn up and well as igniting the flames even more. The fire also spread to a nearby house. People living there in the house say that fortunately it was only their kitchen that was damaged."

2014-05-27 - Explosion hits car dealership in Hialeah (Florida), near the coast, 1 injured:
http://miami.cbslocal.com/2014/05/27/worker-burned-in-fire-at-hialeah-car-dealership/

Quote: "At 4 o’clock this afternoon, one of our vendors, an electrical contractor, entered the Hialeah dealership’s electrical connections chamber. A sudden and unexplained explosion occurred causing injury to the electrician."

Note: So he opened a door to this electrical connections chamber. That would allow any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide to enter the room too. Any electrified copper in there? Of course. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and will serve as the igniter for any methane blowing around. Pretty similar to all the underground electrical fires and explosions, transformer explosions, etc.

2014-05-27 - Tractor explodes and burns while parked in barn, fire spreads, four barns destroyed, near Dobson (North Carolina):
http://www.mtairynews.com/news/news/3737435/Fire-destroys-barns-tractor

Quote: "Some type of explosion is said to have occurred with the tractor that had been parked in one of the bulk barns at the site, which sparked a fire that spread to the three other structures. 'They were right next to each other,' Rodney Whitaker, assistant chief of the Central Surry Volunteer Fire Department, explained regarding the barns."

Note: Parked tractors exploding and burning is totally normal, move along! This has happened before. A tractor exploded and burned at 4:30 AM while parked in a barn and the fire destroyed the barn, on Avon Lake Road in Litchfield Township (Pennsylvania), mentioned in the 2013-09-05 update. Other parked vehicles have exploded and burned too, including boats. It's not a tractor-specific problem...

http://rvdailyreport.com/owner/parents-son-displaced-by-motorhome-fire-in-oregon/

Quote: "Two adults and their son were displaced when a fire damaged their motorhome early this morning as it was parked near the intersection of Marshall Avenue and Taft Street in west Eugene, fire officials said. The three family members had spent the night elsewhere with another family member and were not in the motorhome when the fire occurred around 4:30 a.m., Eugene Springfield Fire Battalion Chief Ben Meigs said."

Note: An RV bursting into flame while parked in Eugene...sound familiar? The same thing just happened two days prior, mentioned in the 2014-05-25 update. That fire happened at around 5:15 PM and a dog in the house where it was parked woke the people up inside, they tried to fight the fire, and one of them was lightly injured. These two RVs spontaneously igniting in Eugene were definitely different events. Besides the two RVs, another fire destroyed two cars and a garage at 5:30 AM at a home in Eugene on the day between the RV fires, mentioned in the 2014-05-26 update, so that's three fires involving parked vehicles in three days in Eugene...

Quote: "The 2010 Toyota Highlander was going eastbound on Grand Central when it ran over a piece of metal in the roadway, according to police."

Note: Blamed on running over a piece of metal. Who knows, could be. But man, they had that story out FAST. And looking at that fire, how could they even tell that's what happened? Did anyone actually see a piece of metal? Didn't see any witnesses or either of the two survivors say that's what happened, that's just the story 'according to police' who weren't there when it happened. Gas tanks aren't located right at the bottom of vehicles either. If a story sounds shitty and it smells shitty...it just might be shit. Haven't decided if this story is shit or not, but I definitely haven't ruled out the possibility that it is. You can decide for yourself, of course...

Quote: "Crump said two officers responding to the area near the intersection of 19th Avenue and Missouri deployed their stun guns on the man who had tools, including screwdrivers and even a surgical saw, in his hand. By then, the man, whose name has not yet been released, had stripped down to his underwear. When the suspect charged at those officers, a third officer fired at least one shot, striking the man in the chest, police said."

Quote: "The man continued to fight with officers after he was shot and had to be handcuffed to keep him from struggling on the way to the hospital, Crump said."

Note: So he shrugged off stun guns and even kept fighting with a bullet in him. That's at least somewhat superhuman. It took SIX bullets to kill the original face-eater (who was not on drugs)...

Fire officials were still attempting to determine the source of the odor two hours after being called to the scene, said Huachuca City Fire Chief Jon Allmon. Landfill crews going about their duties earlier that afternoon saw what they first thought to be smoke from a fire. After dousing the area with water only exacerbated the odor, fire personnel were called in around 3 p.m., Allmon said."

  1. That one story just says it all. Here's a veteran firefighter who never heard of a porch bursting into flame so blamed it on LEAVES! As if leaves can just spontaneously combust . . . (hey, at least add a metal rake to it).

    Electrical infrastructure continues to degrade beyond our ability to keep up.

    Look at all the vehicles being destroyed (including boats), all the people keeling over (of all ages and some in perfect health), and the buildings exploding into flame - it all adds up to our precarious existence. More zombies walkin' around, more sinkholes - whew, things are getting out of hand!

    Thanks for the update Jonny.

    1. Maybe we could fill the sinkholes with the zombies. Bam, who said I wasn't a problem-solver?!

  2. Actually Jonny has had several stories about mulch being the culprit for fires at a few apartments IIRC so leaves wouldn't be too much of a stretch as they'd be just absorbent material like everything else on or around porches igniting itself and the porch and maybe rest of the house too. I always feel relief when it is raining but between this "water soluble gas" and Fukushima involved in the precipitation cycle I no longer feel like singing or dancing in the rain or even walking out there with my dogs. Speaking of which... Whilst reading this update my AC kicked on and I get a whiff of "ROTTEN EGG SMELL"... *alarmed* but it turned out to be just one of the dogs a dozing and a farting under the desk. Saved for one more day at least. WHEW!!! Thanks for all your hard work compiling this info but this is hard info to share with anyone unless you really really do not like them. :) So morbidity packed!

    1. That was what I was thinking with the leaves too - basically the same as mulch, just not as compressed. And UNDER a porch means a mostly enclosed area, which will help trap gases. A little rusty iron/steel under there, next to some leaves that have absorbed some hydrogen sulfide or methane and you have a fire.

      Don't blame you for not sharing the info with many, or any. It is hard to accept and I can't possibly argue with the 'morbidity packed' description either!

      LMAO @ your dog fart alert!
