Event Update For 2015-04-01





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.

Quote: "More than 2,000 people were evacuated from buildings in central London this afternoon as toxic smoke filled the streets. The Metropolitan Police declared a 'major incident' after blocks housing businesses and part of the London School of Economics were cleared by the emergency services."

Quote: "Earlier, onlookers reported struggling to breathe and 'chaos' in and around Holborn."

Quote: "Amazing photographs have captured how huge swathes of central London were plunged into darkness due to a major underground fire. An incredible aerial shot taken from the London Eye shows the area affected by the power cut almost completely blacked out after the blaze in Holborn."

Note: Last I looked, this fire was still burning 24 hours after it began. The pic of the blacked out area is in the last link. Also see the car that burst into flame on the A118 in the Stratford area in London on this day. A van just exploded and burned at 5:30 AM in the Rotherhithe area in London the other day too, mentioned in the 2015-03-27 update...

Quote: "A witness to the Finsbury Park fire tweeted: 'So massive fires under the pavement in Holborn AND on my boyfriend's street in Finsbury Park. What's going on?' Another person wrote: 'So - there's a fire going on 5-mins from my work in Holborn AND 5-mins from my flat in Finsbury Park. Hmmm...'"

Quote: "The fire brigade said the fire was not related to the underground blaze in Holborn earlier on the same day."

Note: Suuuuure, just another one of those huge honkin' coincidences. *cough cough*

Quote: "At least four people have died and 45 others are believed to have been injured in a fire at an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico, the nation's state-owned oil company and local emergency services have said. Some 300 workers were evacuated from the Abkatun Permanente shallow-water platform in the Campeche Sound early on Wednesday morning, according Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex."

2015-04-01 - Deck bursts into flame at 5:30 AM, fire spreads to apartment building, in Winnipeg (Canada):
http://globalnews.ca/news/1913243/apartment-block-fire-rousts-west-winnipeg-residents/
http://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/crews-battle-fire-at-west-winnipeg-condo-complex-1.2305556

Note: The apartment where the deck burst into flame was vacant. But I bet that deck either has some electrified copper on it (porch light or outlet), or the deck itself was built using something steel that's got some rust on it (nails, screws, brackets, hinges, etc). Either one of those and fire can break out at any time, like all the parked cars going up in flames: cars contain both rusty steel AND electrified copper...

    Methane Levels Early 2015
    http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2015/03/methane-levels-early-2015.html

    "Further study of the locations with high methane levels indicates that much of the additional methane appears to originate from releases at higher latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, in particular from the Arctic Ocean, from where it is over time descending toward the equator (methane will typically move closer to the equator over time as it rises in altitude, as discussed in this earlier post)."

    [From this statement we see that the blanket of deadly, explosive gases you've been documenting will increase as methane creeps toward the equator (as it has been for the past few years, gaining in concentration, plume ranges and numbers.

    The lede stories you put up today are an indication of what we can expect more of, and in ever larger versions in the future.

    i'd go hide under a rock, but i'm concerned that i'd displace some methane or fall into a sinkhole as a result!]

  3. Storms were pretty fierce! I think they're past me now, and heading northeast. Was considering a retreat to the basement there for a while though!

  4. We've had two days in the 60's FINALLY, but today the winds are howling through here and it's dropping the temps back to the 50's for a day. The weekend looks like it'll bounce back to nice again with some rain coming next week.

    All the best, Jonny - stay safe.
