Event Update For 2014-08-15

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.

2014-08-15 - Underground electrical explosion and fire hits downtown Memphis (Tennessee), lights go out:

http://www.localmemphis.com/story/d/story/power-restored-in-downtown-memphis-after-outage-le/34124/PdenIcEEAUCTPu7bDRt59g

Quote: "People who gathered around police cars at Second and Beale told us they heard a big boom and the power went out. Manhole covers on Second Street also dislodged, with flames and smoke coming out, due to an underground fire."

Quote: "Utility company officials heard that Memphis Police Department was responding to fires around manhole covers. Officials say there was no gas leak, and MLGW crews had to clear the air underground so workers could get underground investigate the problem."

2014-08-15 - Underground electrical explosion blows manhole off in Preston (Britain):
http://www.lep.co.uk/news/local/mystery-blast-in-city-centre-1-6788822
http://www.blogpreston.co.uk/2014/08/manhole-cover-blown-into-the-air-in-preston-city-centre/

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and rusty iron, both likely to be found in underground electrical facilities. It is also a heavier-than-air gas and will seek out low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, ditches, ravines, canyons, gorges, valleys, creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, seas, quays, etc. As a consequence, there has been a rising number of underground explosions and fires around the world, with the most devastating such event so far occurring in late July at midnight in Kaohsiung on the island of Taiwan, mentioned in the 2014-07-31 update. Those huge underground explosions and fires flipped fire trucks over, ripped streets apart, killed at least two dozen people and injured well over 250 people. Massive underground explosions and fires just rocked Indianapolis (Indiana) two days prior too, mentioned in the 2014-08-13 update.

At this point, it's probably wise to PLAN on losing power for an extended period, like, say, a month. That way if a Kaohsiung-caliber event occurs near you, and it doesn't kill you, then you'll be prepared for the loss of power. You know, flashlights, solar chargers, crankable emergency radio, batteries, whatever you think you might want handy if your electricity were to go out for a while. Better to have that stuff handy and not need it than to need it and not have it. The same goes for medicines, food and water. A little 'just in case' planning could spare you a considerable amount of misery if something goes awry...
 

2014-08-15 - Home explodes and collapses in coastal Des Moines (Washington), 1 injured:

http://blogs.seattletimes.com/today/2014/08/house-explosion-in-des-moines-sends-man-to-hospital/
http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2014/08/home_explosion_in_seattle_subu.html

Quote: "The man had been doing roofing work on the house, which is owned by a bank, Jenkins said. He was using a propane torch that investigators determined was the ignition source. 'What was in the air that exploded, we don’t know, Jenkins said."

Note: Some methane blew through off the ocean there. What else could it have been? It was obviously a gas in the air, and he was outside, right on the coast. His torch ignited the cloud as it passed by, which was concentrated enough and large enough to destroy that home. I'm surprised that this man is still alive...

2014-08-15 - Mysterious fires keep erupting in median on State Route 240 in Kennewick (Washington):
http://www.nbcrightnow.com/story/26261036/kennewick-police-need-help-stopping-mysterious-median-fires-along-sr-240

Quote: "Since July 25th, the Kennewick Fire Department has responded to 15 fires between Edison Street and the Highway 395 roundabout. The fires have been confined to a small area of sagebrush and no ignition sources have been found."

Note: Check it out with Google Maps or whatever - this road runs right along the banks of the Columbia River. Have they checked the areas where the fires have occurred to see if there's any rusty iron nearby? Could be nails buried in the ground, old railroad ties, bolts on highway fencing, anything like that. Could be the dried brush is simply adsorbing enough hydrogen sulfide and/or methane to spontaneously combust from time to time. If the fires are mainly happening in the heat of the day then spontaneous combustion of the brush is probably what's happening. If the fires are mainly happening in the wee hours then there's probably something rusty near these fires. They don't say when they're happening either way...

There've been some other band bus fires, but not for such big names as these. Of course, if you're younger than 30 then you might say, 'Who's Styx?!' But then I could respond with, 'Who's Maxwell?!' Heheh...

Note: The fire took out her power locks, so she was trapped, but she was lucky and got rescued. Some have not been so fortunate. I've warned about this problem before. If you have electric locks, windows or seatbelts, I would highly advise keeping something handy to cut seatbelts and shatter windows because if this happens to you then you may not have very long before you lose consciousness and burn to death. Also see the two people found burned to death in or near burning cars near Lake Michigan in Chicago (Illinois) on this day...

Quote: "Two days ago and approximately six miles south of the home, two different houses caught fire and were deemed suspicious by investigators in Daytona Beach."

Note: Same area, same atmosphere. Florida, being downwind of the Gulf of Mexico, will eventually be transformed into a poisoned burned-out wasteland, but then again, that will eventually be true of every area on the surface of the planet...
