Event Update For 2017-02-17

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.

2017-02-17 - Navigation buoy bursts into flame in coastal Herne Bay (Britain):
http://www.kentonline.co.uk/sheerness/news/rnli-crew-tackle-burning-buoy-120758/

Quote: "There was water, water, everywhere but it didn’t stop a navigation buoy from going up in flames in the middle of the sea. The Sheerness crew of the all-weather RNLI lifeboat the George and Ivy Swanson first thought they were racing to a boat on fire in a busy shipping lane of the Thames Estuary. But after a 16-mile dash they discovered the cause of the blaze was the Princess No 5 light buoy seven miles off Herne Bay near a wind farm."

Quote: "Lifeboat coxswain Robin Castle said: 'In all my years at sea and as lifeboat coxswain this was one of the most unusual calls I have ever attended. I have never heard of a buoy catching light before and can only assume it was caused by an electrical problem which is also strange because the light buoys are solar powered.' The emergency call came from the Coastguard at 5.20am on Thursday (Feb 16). The crew arrived on site at 6.12am to find buoy well alight."

http://abc7.com/weather/fatality-confirmed-in-submerged-car-in-victorville/1760857/

Quote: "A powerful Pacific storm blew into Southern and Central California on Friday with wind-driven heavy rains that downed power lines and electrocuted a man, killed a motorist in a submerged car and disrupted hundreds of flights at airports. With the storm feeding on an atmospheric river of moisture stretching far out into the Pacific, precautionary evacuations of homes in some neighborhoods were requested due to the potential for mudslides and debris flows. More than 300 arriving and departing flights were delayed or canceled at Los Angeles International Airport. In the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles, a falling tree downed power lines and hit a car. A 55-year-old man was electrocuted and pronounced dead at a hospital, police and fire officials said. Winds gusting to 60 mph or more lashed the area. Heavy rains turned creeks and rivers into brown torrents and released slews of mud from hillsides burned barren by wildfires."

http://www.sott.net/article/342847-Sydney-Australia-lashed-by-severe-storms

Quote: "Homes have been badly damaged, roads closed and thousands lost power as a terrifying 'mini-tornado' barrelled through pockets of the Central Coast late yesterday. One Fountaindale family will be "starting from scratch" after a massive tree crashed through the middle of their house about 5pm in scenes reminiscent of the January 2016 super storm which turned the area's tornado alley into a wasteland. Wyong and Gosford State Emergency Service crews had about 100 call-outs overnight as fallen trees and heavy rain caused roof damage in a devastating dinnertime burst of thunder and lightning when 23mm of rain fell between 5pm and 9pm. More than 30,000 homes lost power in at least a dozen suburbs across the Coast, from Pearl Beach up to Tuggerah, where the roof collapsed at a police call centre late yesterday."
