Event Update For 2017-12-26

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.

2017-12-26 - Sulfur odor blows in off the ocean and hits the coast in and around Manhattan Beach (California):
http://tbrnews.com/news/redondo_beach/what-was-that-sulfur-smell-before-christmas/article_d92c94c0-eb34-11e7-89b0-3b799cc938c5.html

Quote: "Two days before Christmas reports of a natural gas leak spread throughout the South Bay. Calls went out to 911 emergency services in El Segundo, Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach."

Quote: "Professors Doug Capone, PhD, and Jed Fuhrman, PhD, said what people might be smelling is hydrogen sulfide associated with several possible sources such as oil seeps or rotting seaweed."

Note: I'm sure that IS what it was. And as time goes on, these 'odor events' are happening more frequently as the ocean warms and as life dies off in the ocean and as the ocean becomes more polluted and landfill-like. The concentration will rise over time as well. Heck, you might see California start getting hit by monstrous wildfires too, since hydrogen sulfide is extremely flammable. Oh right, California is being hit by monstrous wildfires now. Eventually entire towns will start going up in flames and entire towns of people will start dropping dead, or having 'medical events', or going insane from brain damage, etc. That's just a matter of time now. These increasingly common 'odor events' are harbingers of much worse things to come...

2017-12-26 - Hydrogen sulfide leaks from floor drain at business in Iron Mountain (Michigan):
http://www.ironmountaindailynews.com/news/local-news/2017/12/imfd-investigate-natural-gas-odor/

Quote: "Iron Mountain firefighters were called at 4:20 p.m. Tuesday to investigate a possible natural gas odor at a business on the 1400 block of South Stephenson Avenue. They determined the odor was sewer gas coming from a floor drain and there was no problem, so they returned to the station at 4:40 p.m."

Note: 'Just poison gas spewing from the drain, folks, no problem. We'll be, uhhh, way far away from here if someone dies or you need us for a medical emergency!'
