Event Update For 2015-07-30

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.

Quote: "A fire in an underground electrical vault has knocked out power to thousands of people in downtown Long Beach, just two weeks after a series of similar fires left people in the same area in the dark for three days. Long Beach Fire Department spokesman Jake Heflin says Thursday's outage struck a few minutes before 5 p.m."

Quote: "An underground vault explosion triggered a power outage in downtown Long Beach Thursday afternoon for the second time this month, police said. Residents reported hearing a loud explosion near 10th Street and Pine Avenue at 4:15 p.m."

2015-07-30 - Underground electrical fire breaks out at 5:50 AM in Washington Heights area in coastal Manhattan (New York):

Quote: "Dispatchers say firefighters are responding to a fire at the Gavin Power Plant in Cheshire, OH. It happened about 10 a.m. at 7397 North State Route 7 when a transformer blew at the plant, according to Meigs County 911."

Note: Long Beach had barely recovered from the last underground fire, which put numerous people in the dark for days, mentioned in the 2015-07-15 update, and here's yet another one. And another underground fire just hit coastal Manhattan too, mentioned in the 2015-07-29 update and also on that day, an underground explosion and fireball shattered a thick steel manhole cover, blew it into chunks, in Sacramento (California). This problem can strike anywhere and at any time now, so keep some flashlights handy!

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Sunderbans-tiger-cub-found-dead/articleshow/48288245.cms

Quote: "According to preliminary report, in the first case, the fully grown male tiger died of natural causes. However, details of the second one were not available. The officials said they were 'baffled' by the fact that two carcasses were found at almost the same spot and added this has to be investigated."

Note: Wouldn't be so sure that was 'natural causes'. Did they do a hydrogen sulfide test? No, they didn't, because there isn't one, and such deaths will look just like the creature's heart stopped, and they call that 'natural causes'. Same with many of the people dropping dead, including children and young healthy people. These tigers were both found dead by fishermen so they were both near a body of water of some kind. A recent story said there were only 100 tigers left alive in the Sunderbans, so now, a week later, I guess they're down to 98. At this rate there will be no tigers left alive in the Sunderbans in less than a year...
