Event Update For 2014-08-02

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.

2014-08-02 - HazMat event, toxins from algae bloom contaminate water for 400k people in Toledo (Ohio) and surrounding areas:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=HZ-20140802-44774-USA

http://www.13abc.com/story/26178497/urgent-message-from-city-toledoans-asked-not-to-drink-or-boil-water
http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2014/08/02/toledo-residents-rush-to-michigan-for-water-after-city-issues-warning-over-algae-toxin/

Quote: "About 400,000 Ohioans were told not to drink their tap water after dangerous toxins seeped into Toledo's water. Scientists found the harmful organisms in Toledo's Collins Park water-treatment plant early Saturday. Consuming the water can lead to nausea, fever and skin irritation, officials said. Boiling the water will only make the toxins worse. The order applies to the whole city and anyone in the surrounding area who gets their water from the Toledo plant - the facility processes water for about 400,000 people in a 100-square-mile area of Ohio. The city of Toledo posted the warning on its Facebook page around 2 a.m. By 8 a.m., most of the city's grocery stores were out of bottled water, the Toledo Blade reported. Cops had to respond to some stores when the large crowds demanding bottled water got disorderly."

Note: There has been a rising number of toxic blue-green algae outbreaks hitting bodies of water all around the world in the last couple of years or so. The biosphere - the environment - is obviously changing in ways that are beneficial to these species of algae. I was wondering when toxic blue-green algae would affect a large municipal water supply like this, and here we go. Massive societal disturbance here, people buying up all the bottled water off store shelves, price-gouging, people fighting each other in parking lots, etc. I saw one anecdote that said people were trying to sell ONE bottle of water (size not specified) for TWENTY-FIVE BUCKS! Two gallons of water per day per person - I'd recommend stashing enough for at least a week or two, wherever you are, if you haven't already, just in case this same problem should hit your own area. That way if something goes terribly wrong then you won't have to be in those parking lots or looking at bare shelves with a sad frown. Like most anything, it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it...

2014-08-02 - Four garbage trucks destroyed by fire at 1:20 AM while parked at facility in Halifax County (Virginia):
http://yourgv.com/index.php/news/local-news/10872-fire-destroys-trash-truck-fleet-no-foul-play-suspected

Quote: "An early Saturday morning fire destroyed Halifax County’s fleet of trash trucks, and left Public Works Director Ricky Nelson scrambling to devise a plan to collect the 28,000 county residents’ refuse in coming months."

Note: Hey, I got an idea that would help preserve the remaining garbage trucks: stop parking them right next to each other! That way, when ONE truck spontaneously ignites, a FLEET of trucks doesn't get destroyed. Also, another thing that would help would be if they remove or at least disconnect the batteries when the trucks are done being used for the day. If they don't do at least one of those things, and preferably both, then they can expect to lose way more garbage trucks than they would if they took one or both precautions...
