Event Update For 2016-08-19

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://www.waow.com/story/32774441/2016/08/16/coroner-amherst-farmer-13-cattle-die-in-deadly-dome-of-air

Quote: "Portage County Coroner Scott Rifleman said that the deaths of Biadasz and at least 16 cows are under investigation, but that they were probably overcome by methane or sulfur oxide."

Note: Methane is lighter than air, so it's doubtful that could have killed them all out in the open. Sulfur oxide isn't a thing, it's a kind of thing - anything with sulfur and oxygen in it is a sulfur oxide, like sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide and so on. More likely they were all killed by hydrogen sulfide, which all farmers are warned about and which, unlike methane, is a heavier-than-air gas and would tend to kill life on the ground outdoors and which is produced along with methane when manure 'ferments'...
