Event Update For 2016-05-12





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.

  1. HAH! I liked your response in the comments of the last thread Jonny - so true. I mean, we have the same thing here (where I live) and in Philly (and probably everywhere in between), people shootin' each other (or beating each other up, stabbings, etc., not to mention the weirdos who kidnap people and torture, rape and/or kill them - if not EAT them). It's a mess already and it ain't gonna get any better.

    Wow, today's report has some big-time electrical infrastructure explosions, blackouts and fires. I used to visit Watertown on the way to my dad's ancestral home in Carthage, NY (talk about a sleepy village, you could watch and hear the grass grow).

    I see that there were more fires here in PA that didn't make the tv news . . . thanks for keeping me informed.

    Update: Lightning kills 64 in Bangladesh over 2 days; surge in deaths is causing panic

    [No, seriously Jonny - come on, this is beyond belief! Remember when being struck by lightening was considered RARE? There goes THAT statistic. Do you think it has something to do with population density over there? This is just nuts.]

    More than 60 people have been killed by lightning over the past two days during tropical storms across Bangladesh, local media said Saturday. Most of the 64 lightning deaths since Thursday have occurred in the countryside, where farmers are busy with the current harvesting season, Bengali-language newspapers Prothom Alo and Samakal reported, per the AP. Experts say increased deforestation, increased use of metal equipment like cellphones, and rising temperatures have contributed to a surge in lightning deaths that has caused panic in some areas.
