Event Update For 2015-07-16





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.

As of 4.30pm local time, the fire had still not been put out."

    Hawaii Just Got Hit By A July Snow Storm (Seriously)

    July snowstorms are weird enough. July snowstorms in Hawaii boggle the mind.

    But that's what happened at the summit of Mauna Kea on Hawaii's Big Island on Friday morning.

    The combination of passing thunderstorms and near-freezing temperatures led to 1.5 inches of snow and icy conditions, according to a ranger's report.

  4. Well, prepare to bake! Heh, I think hot temps are heading your way now. Temps just sizzled here, whew, heat index well above 100F for the last several days, and I think that heat blob is heading to the East Coast now.

    There was lots of weird soundless lightning and flashes in the skies here tonight - 'flash fires' ignited by lighting burning off gas ahead of an incoming storm? I dunno, but it reminded me of that scene in the beginning of the remake of War of the Worlds, the one with Tom Cruise. I was half expecting to hear a groaning noise and then have the ground explode and spew out a laser-shooting tripod.
