2015-08-17 - Recycling center destroyed by fire at Seabreeze Environmental Landfill in Freeport (Texas):
http://thefacts.com/free_share/article_70f48661-81b8-5272-abc1-cf09b4deac24.html

Quote: "Officials in several southern Brazoria County cities were left wondering what would happen to their recycling services Monday, as fire destroyed the center at the Seabreeze Environmental Landfill. 'It’s a 100 percent loss,' Brazoria County Fire Marshal Martin Vela said."

Note: More underground fires/explosions, more landfills and recycling centers burning. From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

Quote: "A conflagration has engulfed Kuwait’s Shuaiba oil refinery, forcing the strategic facility to stop operations, according to the country's oil authorities. An official at state refiner Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) has confirmed that Monday's fire led to the total shutdown of the Shuaiba facility, but said the incident had no casualties."

Note: Shuaiba is just south of Kuwait City, which is also on the coast. Kuwait City has the distinction of being the first major metropolitan area in human history to have its residents told to shelter-in-place because of hydrogen sulfide, mentioned in the 2012-10-17 update...

Note: Somebody 'smelled gas'. Natural gas is odorless so they add mercaptan to it, which smells like 'rotten eggs'. So does hydrogen sulfide at low concentrations. So people smelled rotten egg odor on the coast and a building exploded. Was it natural gas? Well, to answer that, one would need to know what the methane and hydrogen sulfide levels were in the air and in the ground...so what were they? Ah, nobody's even checking, so nobody will ever know what caused this explosion, though obviously AFTER the explosion the gas lines would have been ruptured.

Bremerton is just 45 miles from Port Townshend as the gas blows, where a man just saw a gigantic expanding cloud of fire in the sky, mentioned in the 2015-08-13 update. That was a 'flash fire' burning off a sizeable cloud of flammable gas in the atmosphere. Could be that a cloud just like that hit this motel, some gas got sucked in via the HVAC system, and then the motel exploded.

Pay attention to all explosions, and especially on coasts, from here on out, like this one, and the gigantic explosion that just destroyed a chemical warehouse in coastal Tianjin (China), mentioned in the 2015-08-12 update, and the refinery damaged by fire and possible explosion in coastal Shuaiba (Kuwait), mentioned in the 2015-08-17 update, and other events like those. They didn't train to deal with the aftermath of 10-kiloton explosions late last year in coastal New York City, mentioned in the 2014-10-22 update, for nothing. Here's a Google Maps link that shows both Bremerton and Port Townshend.

Finally, hydrogen sulfide is corrosive to steel and concrete, so it will CAUSE more gas leaks (and water main breaks leading to sinkholes, and more buildings collapsing) and it will also serve as the igniter for ANY kind of flammable gases in the air if there's any rusty iron/steel or electrified copper around, and there's usually one or the other if not both...

Quote: "A carport at a Mullaloo house was set ablaze early Thursday after an electrical fault from a car sparked a fire. About 6.42am firefighters were called to the Livonia Place residence in Mullaloo after a resident inside the home called emergency services."

2015-08-27 - Car bursts into flame at 6:42 AM while parked at home, fire spreads to home, on Lavinia Court in coastal Kallaroo (Australia):
http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/wa/a/29361192/car-causes-house-fire/

Quote: "A car has sparked a house fire in Kallaroo this morning. The car was parked in the car port of a home on Lavinia Court when it caught fire about 6.45am. Twelve firefighters managed to put out the fire in less than an hour. Flames were contained to the area around the car port, however the home did sustain some smoke damage. The blaze caused $80,000 to the car and home."

Note: Could they have screwed up one of the above two stories? I dunno. The street names are similar, and the timing is very close, but there is actually a Livonia Place in Mullaloo and there is actually a Lavinia Court in Kallaroo, and the timing could be explained by the fact that Kallaroo is right next to Mullaloo, so a couple of blobs of gas blowing in off the ocean there could easily have hit two different cars at two different homes at close to the same time in adjacent towns. Here's a Google Maps link that shows both areas. Assuming these were two separate car fires, then these fires are eerily similar to the two boats that burst into flame within 3 minutes at different marinas in coastal Washington DC, mentioned in the 2014-02-11 update. Coincidence? Hah, no.
