Event Update For 2016-12-14

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.

2016-12-14 - Paper towels burst into flame inside dispenser in public restroom at Broad River Boat Landing in coastal Burton (South Carolina):
http://www.islandpacket.com/news/local/community/beaufort-news/article121082868.html

Note: Small fire, but the ramifications are anything but small - paper towels bursting into flame, to go along with clothes that have burst into flame (while being worn and while sitting around), and furniture, piles of wood, mulch, pallets, a woman's wig while on her head, recycling stuff, bales of paper, trash, cardboard, tires, etc. So pretty much anything that's adsorbent and flammable, or which is made with adsorbent flammable materials, can burst into flame at any time now - homes, businesses, vehicles, clothes, etc.

2016-12-14 - Boy, 15, ignites while welding at school in Arbuckle (California), 1 injured:
http://www.kctv5.com/story/34057138/welding-accident-sets-student-on-fire

Note: His clothes may have been contaminated, probably by invisible odorless methane, which would make them ignite very easily and burn hot and fast. This looks similar to the woman who recently burned to death cooking dinner in coastal Bronx (New York), mentioned in the 2016-11-20 update...
