These are the 68th and 69th residential explosions in 2016...

Quote: "Olson was present at the scene, and he said he believed a possible cause of the blaze was from a son-in-law's travel-trailer parked in the building."

Note: Here are more parked vehicles going up in flames, and these weren't all of the parked vehicles that spontaneously ignited on this day either. Because more vehicles are bursting into flame generally, and because most vehicles spend most of their time parked, this means more parked vehicles are igniting. People are losing their homes, businesses and sometimes their lives because of this problem, and the problem is escalating. Park a vehicle next to something you don't want to see on fire at your own risk...

Quote: "Residents and fire officials said the fire appears to have started in a car parked in the alley in back of the houses at 166 and 170 Broad St. and to the side of 44 Gold St. which were all gutted by the three-alarm blaze."

Note: Crazy people parking vehicles near where they live. Ah well, they lived, this time, so they can go buy all new stuff. Good for the economy! The worst (non-fatal) car fire so far, that I can recall off-hand anyway, was a parked car that burst into flame at 6 AM at an apartment building in coastal Bridgeport (Connecticut), resulting in a massive inferno that destroyed the entire apartment building and left 120 people homeless, mentioned in the 2015-12-31 update. 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...

Neither the farmer nor his farmhands were injured, but about 25 cows died in the fire, Stocker said. The farm was not insured."

Note: The superyachts 'Barbie' and 'The One' were destroyed by fire at 2 AM while docked in coastal Marmaris (Turkey), mentioned in the 2016-01-04 update, but that was two adjacent superyachts going up in flames in the same fire. These two superyachts burning at St. Thomas and near Puerto Rico is the first time I've seen two superyachts go up in flames in separate fires on the same day...

http://www.sundaytimes.lk/98389/four-charred-bodies-found-from-dehiwala-house

Quote: "Police suspect that the individuals have died following an electrocution. They added that the bodies were found in different places in the ground floor of the house."

Note: If they were all together then electrocution would be more plausible - one person touching another and so on - but scattered around the house? Not very believable. Renal problems - e.g. kidney problems - have been mysteriously killing many people in Sri Lanka too, mentioned in the 2015-01-18 update. From the full hypothesis: "Renal problems - e.g. problems with kidneys - will escalate, as is already happening with crop workers on the western coast of Central America."
