Quote: "Police in Northglenn are trying to determine how a man was injured in a fire while sitting on his tractor. The police department said in an email that authorities were called to a parking lot on Thursday after a witness saw the man and rushed to his aid. The witness grabbed a fire extinguisher from his truck and smothered the flames."
Note: Didn't see anything about the tractor catching fire so this might've been another person bursting into flame, similar to the woman in her 40s who burst into flame while sitting on a bench at an oceanside park in coastal Flensburg (Germany), mentioned in the 2015-11-05 update. That's most likely to happen to people when they're outdoors, fully exposed to the atmosphere, although obviously, with all the vehicles bursting into flame, you're still way more likely to burn to death in a vehicle than to go up in flames yourself...

2016-02-08 - Porter Ranch well leak symptoms afflicting people in California may be caused by hydrogen sulfide:
http://californianews.cf/what-caused-nosebleeds-in-porter-ranch-new-questions-emerge/
http://www.dailynews.com/environment-and-nature/20160208/what-caused-nosebleeds-in-porter-ranch-new-questions-emerge
Quote: "Health officials are now raising questions about what caused the bleeding, which they acknowledge is inconsistent with the very few health studies that exist on mercaptans. A better-documented and more hazardous compound found in natural gas — hydrogen sulfide — could explain some of the symptoms, independent experts say. And emerging science shows this dangerous chemical compound could be more abundant than originally thought."
Quote: "These are 'classic symptoms' of exposure to hydrogen sulfide, a well-documented toxic compound, said Michael Jerrett, professor and chairman of the UCLA Department of Environmental Health Sciences. More serious effects of hydrogen sulfide range from fluid in the lungs to respiratory distress and irregular heartbeat."
Note: Say, that's exactly what I've been saying for the last four months, since this gas leak started and people started reporting widespread rotten egg odor and nosebleeds. And hey, don't forget the other serious effects, like brain damage, kidney damage, unconsciousness, strokes, heart attacks, coma and death!

Israeli scientists detected hundreds of 'gas springs' bubbling methane from the sea floor off their coast in 2012, mentioned in the 2012-11-12 update, a year or two before scientists found the methane clathrates dissociating off the US East and West Coasts, off the coast of New Zealand, etc. Some of that gas is probably migrating up through the ground along the coast in that area now...

2016-02-15 - Unknown gas kills flowers, poisons people, in town in the Irkutsk Region (Russia):
http://siberiantimes.com/ecology/others/news/n0585-mystery-gas-hits-town-in-irkutsk-region-as-flowers-die-and-people-suffer-toxic-poisoning/
Quote: "Dmitry Bogdanov, 26, Oksana's son, said: 'I went out to the street, and almost lost consciousness. I called the ambulance, and they brought me to hospital.' The diagnosis was - acute toxic poisoning."
Quote: "Another resident nearby Olga Voitishenko, 37, a mother of one, said: 'We are afraid that one day we will go to bed and never wake up. I fear for my child.' She invited inspectors from Rospotrebnadzor, in charge of protecting consumer rights in Russia. They
Note: Obviously they DID identify the gas, else they couldn't know what the allowable levels are. So they're purposely CHOOSING not to tell the people what the gas is that's poisoning them. It's probably hydrogen sulfide. And that can't be too confidence-inspiring there, to know your government is hiding information from you while you suffer and die. But then all governments are working diligently to hide what's happening from their people, and Russia is no different in that respect than any other country. A big cloud of hydrogen sulfide hit Moscow in late 2014, mentioned in the 2014-11-10 update...

Quote: "An Australian man captured photos of flames on the surface of the Condamine River, which has experienced mysterious methane bubbling for nearly four years. Jon Jenkyn posted photos to Facebook showing the Condamine River's surface on fire near Chinchilla, where methane first started bubbling to the surface in 2012."
Note: The Meiyu River ignited in coastal Wenzhou (China) in 2014, mentioned in the 2014-03-08 update. So far as I know, that was the first river to burn. Bellandur Lake has caught fire a couple of times in Bengaluru (India), first mentioned in the 2015-05-16 update. Methane belched up from a pond in Lambton Shores (Canada), mentioned in the 2015-06-17 update. Methane and hydrogen sulfide belched from coastal Santa Monica Bay, mentioned in the 2013-03-03 update. And so on and so on. As more and more bodies of water become contaminated with flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide, expect to see more bodies of water burning. And now that the huge methane clathrate deposits are melting off both the US East and West Coasts, it is not at all inconceivable that we'll see the oceans themselves burning, and those fires may be impossible to extinguish and may burn for a very very long time...

Quote: "Upon arrival, fire crews found a 'vehicle on fire in an underground garage,' said Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Miguel Roneles. The blaze then spread to a unit above the garage..."
Note: Same thing as all the various underground electrical fires. Hydrogen sulfide, reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, is heavier than air, so one would expect there to be a rise in underground 'electrical fires' as the atmospheric contamination intensifies, and there certainly has been. All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, whether parked or being driven. Plenty of people have lost their homes and their lives that way, so park a vehicle near where you live at your own risk...

http://globalnews.ca/news/2529293/gold-bar-park-users-cause-a-stink-over-h2s-concerns/
Quote: "The World Health Organization website says that 'there are no studies on effects of long-term exposure to hydrogen sulfide in animals.'"
Quote: "Bennett said that the lack of data about long-term low dose exposure in humans is also concerning."
Note: That's right, nobody knows what it does to people or animals with long-term chronic exposure, even at low levels. But it's a deadly poison, as deadly as hydrogen cyanide which is what they use to execute people in gas chambers, so there's no way the effects are GOOD. Brain damage, kidney damage, heart damage, who knows. And he's not even thinking about a variety of other problems. For example, hydrogen sulfide will adsorb onto matter and then you can get poisoned by touch. And while the levels they measured are low, it's a heavier-than-air gas which will tend to flow to low-lying areas and then it will concentrate, and the levels in THOSE areas may sometimes cause serious problems and possibly even kill people and animals from time to time. And you won't see it, in the air or when adsorbed onto matter, because it's invisible, and when it's adsorbed onto matter you won't smell it either (but you should never count on smelling it anyway since it causes 'olfactory fatigue' and you quickly stop being ABLE to smell it even if it's present)...

2016-02-18 - Woman, 69, goes missing while diving near coastal Puako (Hawaii):
http://www.westhawaiitoday.com/news/local-news/coast-guard-fire-department-searching-missing-diver-puako
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is also water-soluble, so swimming around in poison water isn't apt to be too conducive to living a long life. It's also bubbling up from the ocean floors, which is why so many deep-diving or bottom-dwelling ocean creatures have been dying in recent years. Numerous divers, including a world-class free-diver, have died mysteriously in the water, and numerous people have collapsed dead after contact with water or while just being NEAR water. And since hydrogen sulfide doesn't stick around in the body, nobody is likely to find that as a cause, although a smart ME in Kansas City did figure out that a woman was gassed to death in her home by hydrogen sulfide, but he probably did the autopsy quickly after she was dead, within a few hours, before the hydrogen sulfide had degraded entirely. Mostly it's killing people and they just call it 'Sudden Adult Death Sydrome' or 'untimely death' or 'unexplained' or whatever. In any case, the best way to tell if water is contaminated is by touching it or drinking it - if you don't die then it was safe!

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...

Bullhead City is also sending crews to help, he said. 'We've had things like this before, but this is a pretty good size one from what I'm hearing,' he said. The energy company reports that 5,128 homes experienced the outage; the city's population is 7,323, according to a 2010 census."

Fire crews left the restaurant as they were trying to find the source of that carbon monoxide leak. Police say a manager at the Olive Garden called 911 after employees complained of a strange odor that made them feel sick. Nine of those employees were taken to the hospital for evaluation."
Note: Somebody ought to tell these fire crews and cops that carbon monoxide is called 'the silent killer' because it's odorless, so if these people smelled 'a strange odor', obviously it wasn't carbon monoxide...

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...

By the time they went back outside to drive her to the hospital, Koziol's Hyundai rental car was fully engulfed in flames."

Note: Not looking too good for the aviation industry! There have been numerous instances of 'stange odors' mentioned on passenger planes, and there have been numerous instances of multiple people sickening on planes too - you'd think that'd be a pretty big clue that there's something going on with the atmosphere and that aviation (among other things) is being seriously affected...

2016-02-28 - Hydrogen sulfide seeping from the ground in Durango (Colorado):
http://www.durangoherald.com/article/20160228/COLUMNISTS07/160229570/-1/s
Quote: "The riverside signs begin with the word 'DANGER' in red. When a sign’s salutation reads 'DANGER,' what follows is generally not very cheerful. And so it is along La Posta Road. 'Harmful levels of hydrogen sulfide are seeping from the ground,' the signs say. People and pets 'should avoid or quickly pass through any location in this vicinity where you smell a rotten egg odor.' Exposure could cause nausea, eye and lung irritation and headaches 'even with brief exposure,' the signs caution."
Quote: "'We did some testing with monitoring equipment several years back, and the hydrogen sulfide from that location was so high it actually broke our sensors,' he said."
Note: So deadly poison gas is oozing from the ground there in concentrations so high that it broke their sensors! Okay, Durango, you just went to the top of the list of places I won't be going anytime soon...

Quote: "Carbon Monoxide Spikes to 27,000+ [ppb] Where 'Usual' is only around 150 [ppb] on West Coast - May Signal Coming MASSIVE Earthquake"
Quote: "The initial symptoms of low to moderate CO poisoning are similar to the flu (but without the fever). They include: Headache, Fatigue, Shortness of breath, Nausea, Dizziness..."
Note: It could mean that a quake or volcanic eruption has already happened too, presumably somewhere west of the West Coast, like out in the ocean. Or possibly a big cloud of methane erupted from the Pacific Ocean somewhere and combusted and this carbon monoxide is the leftovers from that. So all in the last year in California: 1) the largest number of hydrogen sulfide 'odor advisories' I've ever seen were issued, especially in the Salton Sea area; 2) the largest methane leak in US history occurred in Porter Ranch; 3) the water turned pink at a bird refuge in coastal Santa Barbara, caused by bacteria that eat hydrogen sulfide and which ONLY exist in waters containing hydrogen sulfide; and 4) a gigantic cloud of carbon monoxide has hit the coast. Things that make you go, 'Hmmmm.'

Quote: "A fire that started at about 3:30 a.m. destroyed about 50 boats and several structures at Dozier Yachting Center on Urbanna Creek in Urbanna on Monday, February 29, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Police say two people who lived aboard boats in the marina have died."
Note: Some of the stories say 21 boats destroyed, but that was the 21 boats that were on the docks and didn't include the boats stored inside the boat storage warehouse. At least 350 boats just went up in flames at 10:30 PM the night before at a marina in Portland (Oregon) too, mentioned in the 2016-02-28 update, so that's 400 boats destroyed in less than six hours in just two fires. Here's a Google Maps link of the area. These are the 543rd through 592nd boats or ships to burn in 2016...
