Event Update For 2016-05-02

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.

2016-05-02 - Mysterious explosion shakes homes as rotten egg odor hits the island of Bermuda:
http://www.royalgazette.com/news/article/20160503/reports-of-explosion-in-west-end

Quote: "The cause of an explosion that shook homes in the West End last night is still unknown. Emergency services investigated a loud sound in the Watford Bridge and Mangrove Bay area just before 10pm but came up with no clues as to why it happened. A report of a 'strong smell of gas' near Morgan’s Point at about 10.30pm led to another search in that area."

2016-05-02 - Rotten egg odor hits Alameda, San Leandro, Oakland and Castro Valley (California), PG&E can't find source:
http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/PGE-Unable-to-Locate-Source-of-Natural-Gas-Odor-in-East-Bay-377765351.html
http://www.ooyuz.com/geturl?aid=11470113

Quote: "Around 7:15 p.m., fire officials with the Alameda Fire Department said they received several calls reporting the smell of natural gas. PG&E crews arrived at 7:35 p.m. but were unable to locate the smell's source."

Note: Natural gas is odorless so they add methyl mercaptan to it, which smells like rotten eggs. Maybe they couldn't find the source of the natural gas because it wasn't natural gas - hydrogen sulfide also smells like rotten eggs, at least at low concentrations. In fact, one method of making methyl mercaptan uses hydrogen sulfide as an ingredient, so people are understandably confusing the odors. Also see the boat that burst into flame while docked in Oakland on this day...

2016-05-02 - Car bursts into flame at 12:27 AM while parked on street, fire spreads to vacant home, in coastal Bridgeport (Connecticut):

2016-05-02 - Car bursts into flame just after 1 AM while parked in garage, fire spreads to two homes, in coastal Bridgeport (Connecticut):

http://myinforms.com/en-us/a/32235700-car-fire-damages-2-homes-in-bridgeport/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DEGfG4uVQs

Quote: "Officials say there were two cars inside the garage at Norman and Cottage streets, and one of them burst into flames. They say the blaze then spread to homes on both sides of the car parked in a driveway."

Note: So two parked cars burst into flame within 33 minutes and burned three homes in the wee hours in coastal Bridgeport. Yep, you have to accept the possibility of your home being wiped out anytime you park a vehicle near it nowadays...

2016-05-02 - Explosion blows hole in apartment building at 1 AM in coastal Ocean Beach (California):

http://kogo.iheart.com/articles/kogo-local-news-125548/explosion-rocks-ocean-beach-apartment-complex-14666303/

Quote: "Residents were awoken by the explosion at around 1 a.m. at 4975 Del Monte Ave.  Some came out on their own, while others were evacuated by San Diego police. When they walked outside, they found a smoldering hole in the northwest corner of the building."

Quote: "Later Monday morning, a SDFR spokesperson told 10News the damage was caused by a fire in the wall of the garage. The spokesperson told 10News SDFR would not be investigating any further. The cause of the fire was not clear."

Note: So they ignore the explosion, say it was just a fire, cause unknown, and they're not investigating anymore. They're obviously trying to sweep this one away lickedy-split...
