Event Update For 2016-02-23

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://q13fox.com/2016/02/23/fiery-home-explosion-rocks-port-orchard-wakes-residents-across-kitsap-county/

Quote: "An elementary school several hundreds yards away saw many of its windows shattered."

Note: Last August, in Port Townshend (Washington), about 50 miles north of Port Orchard, a man saw a huge expanding cloud of fire in the sky, mentioned in the 2015-08-13 update. That had to be a 'flash fire' burning off a cloud of flammable gas in the atmosphere. Sometimes these clouds of gas will explode too, and sometimes when they explode they'll destroy whatever is nearby, like homes or businesses. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and animals and people sickening and/or dying more common during those hours. This is the 62nd residential explosion in 2016...
