Event Update For 2015-02-12





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.

Note: They say this was caused by an accidental mixing of nitric acid with ferric chloride during unloading. Not sure I'm buying that. Neither chemical is flammable. Ferric chloride is somewhat reactive with water, but otherwise, couldn't find anything about it being a fire/explosion danger of any kind. Nitric acid, however, is explosively flammable if it comes into contact with gaseous hydrogen sulfide. A nitric acid explosion hit a cargo ship in coastal Ulsan (South Korea) in January, injuring 4 people, mentioned in the 2015-01-11 update. There have been other mysterious explosions and fires involving nitric acid too. So, maybe what happened here is, some container containing nitric acid wasn't fully sealed, and some air containing hydrogen sulfide got to it, and that caused a fire and explosion, which then burned up everything around it too, including whatever ferric chloride was there, and that caused that huge toxic cloud of who-the-f#ck-knows. I'm very suspicious now whenever nitric acid is involved and there's a big explosion or fire because in normal times that virtually never happens. Check out the pics too. Looks pretty apocalyptic there...

  1. Wow, what a mess, hunh? The electrical infrastructure damage goes on and on. We're going to lose the race to keep up.

    Two reporters, roughly the same age dropping dead on the east coast (probably within roughly a couple hundred miles of each other). In the first one, the article says the guy died as the result of a massive stroke, while in the second story, the guy (a known drug abuser at one time - and that kind of activity ALWAYS causes damage to the body and mind) was at work in his office when he collapsed, but nobody else fell over, so neither of these seem to have much to do with JJFH, but they're interesting due to the proximity and their respective ages.

    East Lampeter Twp is a half hour from my home and ten minutes from my oldest son and his family (and he drives a tractor trailer for a living)!

    The police dog story definitely indicates something caused the dog to feel threatened or to act aggressively despite being in its usual confines.

    Next year, if we're still around, we should keep track of barn fires (or i could go back to Jan 1 and count 'em up when i have a minute).

    We're expecting high winds, record low temps and some snow (1 - 3 inches here) and possible power outages (i had enough of that last year).

    http://news.yahoo.com/missing-yorkshire-terrier-arizona-turns-wisconsin-203943730.html

    (Reuters) - An Arizona dog owner cannot explain how Nicholas, her peppy Yorkshire terrier, ended up 1,800 miles (2,896 km) away in Wisconsin, but she is sure that if he could talk, he would have one heck of a tale to tell.

    Linda Baldazo said her 1-year-old dog who went missing from her Tucson home in October and was located in Howard, Wisconsin, just north of Green Bay on Feb. 6.

    "I have no idea how he got there ... but it's a great story," Baldazo said on Friday.

    Baldazo, 42, said her best guess is that Nicholas hopped a ride with a motorist traveling from Arizona to Wisconsin. [Why would the person suddenly let the little bundle of joy go after traveling with it for some time? Wouldn't they be more likely to keep it or give it to someone they know or to a known shelter?]

    Happy Ballantine's Day! [What, it isn't about beer?] Love your site!

  4. It warmed up a bit for a coupla days here, but today is the last day of that and then a new cold wave is heading in. Kinda tired of winter, but on the other hand not really looking forward to summer either, because of the extra fire potential. On the plus side, I saw an outdoor cat a couple of days ago. I hope it lives a while and I hope it really likes the taste of rabbit! Heheh.

  5. We ended up with a half inch "dusting" which ended by 3 or so this afternoon. The temperature has dropped slowly since then (28 now) and still no wind. Sun's out, blue sky with patchy clouds.

  7. What a night. The wind was howling and gusting so bad my dog hesitated going out to relieve himself. It's gotten pretty cold now - right now (6:30 am) it's 7 going up to a high of 13 - and the snow only amounted to a quarter of an inch and has stopped (we're supposed to get more Tues. and Wed.). Compared to the blizzard north of us, i'm not complaining.

  8. Yeah, I see the suffering of others and find it hard to complain too much. I remember the Haiti quake in 2010 and there was video of a couple sitting on a bench holding a BOARD over their heads for shelter from a storm. Now when bad shit happens to me, I can usually go, 'Well, at least we're not sitting on a bench with nothing but a board for shelter.' Puts things in perspective!
