Event Update For 2016-11-17





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.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/accidents/woman-injured-in-suspected-diving-accident-off-madeira-beach-dies-husband/2302681

Quote: "A woman who fell unconscious during a diving mishap in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Madeira Beach, has died."

Quote: "According to a Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office report Roger Olson and his wife were on their boat fishing when they were approached by a distressed man on a 22-foot Sea Fox boat. William Gamba informed Olson that his wife, Blaise, had some sort of medical emergency and was unconscious. Olson boarded the Gamba’s vessel and used a radio to call for help."

Note: Two people just died while snorkeling too, and another had a 'medical condition', at the Great Barrier Reef in coastal Michaelmas Cay (Australia), mentioned in the 2016-11-15 update. I remember a few years ago, before divers had started regularly dying, and someone asked me, if what I'm saying is true, shouldn't there be some divers dying? I told him then that things hadn't gotten that bad YET but divers would be dying soon enough as this extinction event progressed and intensified. And here we are today, with divers regularly dying now. Once this problem gets bad enough, maybe I'll start a separate list just for dead divers and maybe also include all the people dying in or near swimming pools too, similar to the list of all the people that have been burning to death...

http://www.newschannel5.com/news/local-news/burned-backpack-being-investigated-as-arson

Quote: "An investigation is underway after a small explosion at Riverfront Park in downtown Nashville. The blast happened as a man was walking his dog nearby at around 11:30 p.m. Thursday. The man told authorities that he saw a homeless man who was threatening to stab someone, even though no one was around him. The homeless man then reportedly set his bag on fire, which caused an aerosol can inside the bag to explode."

Quote: "The incident began around 11:45 p.m. Thursday when a citizen was walking his dog and heard a man talking to himself and yelling on the steps of Riverfront Park. Authorities said the citizen heard what he thought was an explosion a short time later, and the man who had been on the steps ran off. Officials responded to the scene and said there was no sign of an explosion; however, a burned backpack was found in that area."

Quote: "The activity of the Klyuchevsky volcano in the Russian Far Eastern region of Kamchatka has intensified again, the local department of the Russian Academy of Sciences' geophysical service told TASS on Thursday. 'In the morning, the Klyuchevsky volcano spewed a column of ash to six kilometers above the sea level. This was registered by satellites as the volcano was covered in clouds. Later the slopes of the volcano became visible, and we can see now how it spews steam, gas and ash to 5.5 kilometers above the sea level,' the department said."

  1. Hey, the world's still here! Another "epic" night as Tom parties with the 'kids' at a private club (that doesn't close til 3 a.m.) - listened to electronica and some live rap from two different performances and a d.j. spinnin' heavy beats closed out the night, while drinkin' sage mules and a beta drink (not on the menu yet) of a round frozen fruit juice ice ball topped with Stateside vodka (from Philly, of all places - and it's really good) with a lime garnish. The bartenders are always creating new cocktails and I get to be the 'tester.' Puffed a little wackie-tabacki too.

    So here we go again with the Willamette claiming another victim. There's another idea, Jonny - we could make a score card next year for various bodies of water that keep 'mysteriously' killing people.

    New Zealand's 'unusual' earthquake raises complex questions
    https://www.sott.net/article/334223-New-Zealands-unusual-earthquake-raises-complex-questions

    The question remains, why did the earthquake start small and get larger?

    A question is whether the faults represent a mixture of strike-slip and thrust faults, or a population of variably oblique-slip faults; another question is whether the fault surface traces are linked to form a large fault at depth.

    Although this earthquake was not as slow as some 'tsunami earthquakes', this may imply rupture in a weak, low rigidity fault zone (e.g., Bilek and Lay). The earthquake occurred in continental crust, but near a transition from continental transpression on the South Island to westward subduction underneath the east coast North Island. [more]

    The family says that massive hole opened within minutes on Saturday night, swallowing up most of their backyard. They worry the hole could widen and take their home.

    On Saturday night, Tracey Quick and her husband heard odd noises coming from the backyard of their home on Park Place Road near Mahanoy City. Then they heard louder noises coming from the home.

    "It started cracking. The whole house sounded like it was going to go. It was horrible," she said.

    The hole is about 40 feet wide and at least 30 feet deep.

    “There are weather and climate records, and then there are truly exceptional events that leave all others in the dust. Such has been the case across Earth’s high latitudes during this last quarter of 2016, on track to be the planet’s warmest year on record. Sea ice extent and area have both plummeted to record lows for this time of year in both the Arctic and Antarctic. Such dramatic losses rarely occur at the same time, which means that the global total of sea ice coverage is phenomenally low for this time of year. The weirdness extends to midlatitudes: North America as well as the Arctic have been bathed in unusual mildness over the last several weeks, while Eurasia deals with a vast zone of above-average snowfall and below-average temperatures. Let’s look at each of these to see what’s up and where they may (or may not) be related.” [more; hat tip wili from RScribbler's blog]

    "Our key conclusion is that the annual risk of global catastrophe currently exceeds 0.2 per cent," Dr Simpson wrote in an academic paper called Apocalypse Now? Reviving the Doomsday Argument, accessed through Cornell University's online library. [more]

    A deer broke into a fur company's office, trashed it, jumped on a refrigerator, and escaped
    http://theweek.com/speedreads/663133/deer-broke-into-fur-companys-office-trashed-jumped-refrigerator-escaped

    A large buck stormed a family-owned fur company in Willmar, Minnesota, with a warehouse full of deer hides being tanned for local hunters. Scott Johnson of Johnson Fur was in his office when an employee called his name. As he stood up, the deer appeared around the corner, running at full speed.
    After slamming Johnson in the stomach with his antlers — the furrier got away with a little light bruising — the deer rampaged through the office, leaping over tables and sending paperwork flying across the floor. At one point, the buck even jumped onto a refrigerator.
    "He proceeded to make mischief of it," Johnson said. "He kind of tore the place apart." Then, with the Johnsons' terrier nipping at his heels, the deer ran back out the door and into the wild. The Johnsons speculate the buck was looking for a mate and got confused by the smell of the deer hides.
    Maybe. Or maybe the revolution has begun!

  8. It was ridiculous, Jonny. Techno/EDM - Wax Future (check it out on sound cloud or youtube) wall and floor shaking bass - place was packed, everybody dancin'. Gyad, psychedelic covers of songs, lots of originals, the kids loved it. Me too. i'm a big proponent of "dance where you are" and practice it regularly when out at the club.
