Event Update For 2016-02-19

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.

http://www.sott.net/article/312643-Bush-fire-blazes-near-New-Jersey-oil-refinery

Quote: "A brush fire spread through a grassy area on the banks of the Delaware River in Gloucester County Friday night, moving close to a crude oil storage facility. The fire consumed at least 25 acres near Crown Point Road and 9th Street in Westville, New Jersey, county dispatchers said. It started around 9 p.m. Friday."

Note: Also see the six homes that went up in flames on Ferry Street near the Delaware River in Wilson (Pennsylvania) on this day...

http://myinforms.com/en/a/24865461-firefighters-battle-bosque-fire-near-alameda-bridge/

Note: Two rivers have burned so far (the rivers themselves). Watch for more beachside fires and fires along the banks of rivers and lakes and the like. Eventually more bodies of water will burn themselves, but as time goes on more fires will also be igniting right next to bodies of water, as is already happening...

Quote: "More than a dozen fire companies responded to a two-alarm fire at a vehicle repair garage south of New Castle, authorities said. One firefighter needed to be hospitalized when he experienced a medical emergency and a person living on the second floor of the building has been displaced."

Quote: "A firefighter suffered a medical emergency at the scene of a massive fire in New Castle, Del. on Friday morning."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide blows ashore, some adsorbs onto matter. Eventually a fire breaks out. The smoke may have some residual hydrogen sulfide in it, and that's sickening and sometimes killing firefighters, and others too, but firefighters are obviously very vulnerable to the threat since their job entails being near smoke on a regular basis. Best to assume the smoke from any fire is deadly now. If you're wrong then the worst case is that you took some extra unnecessary precautions. If you assume smoke is safe and it's not then the worst case is you die...
