Event Update For 2018-02-16





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.

2018-02-16 - Unknown foul odor regularly hitting coastal Mobile (Alabama):
http://www.wkrg.com/news/mobile-county/mchd-odor-in-midtown-mobile-not-caused-by-gaf-manufacturing/977159364
http://mynbc15.com/news/reality-check/mchd-odor-in-midtown-isnt-from-the-company-residents-suspect

Quote: "Data from GAF shows that of 18 occurrences when the smell was reported, 16 of those times GAF was not even running their machinery. Also, the wind direction at the time of each occurrence does not correspond with the smell originating from GAF manufacturing."

Quote: "Now that GAF has been cleared as the source of the odor and the other company is not currently running operations, the question remains, 'Where is the smell coming from?'"

Note: The Gulf of Mexico is right there. If a big enough and concentrated enough cloud of hydrogen sulfide blows in off the Gulf of Mexico then that whole city could drop dead and/or go up in flames...

  1. Hey Jonny, Fran, Mike D., Tom N. and any other readers. I trust we're all still here after another week of craziness.

    We got about 2" snow overnight, but it's going to hit 43 F today, so it'll all melt off. I planted lettuce seeds in the back garden yesterday, which is the earliest I've ever planted anything. Predictions are for 70 degree weather by mid-week.

    https://news-daily.net/234493-toronto-firefighter-who-vanished-on-n-y-ski-trip-found-in-calif.html

    Filippidis, a 28-year veteran of the Toronto Fire Department, had been visiting Whiteface Mountain for a ski retreat with about eight colleagues, the union boss said. As his pals called it quits for the day, Filippidis went out for one last ski run the afternoon of Feb. 7 and never returned.
    He told Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputies he may have suffered a head injury while skiing.
    Filippidis remembers being in a “big rig-style truck” and sleeping for much of the ride, sheriff spokesman Sgt. Shaun Hampton told the Post-Standard. When he was dropped off in downtown Sacramento, the sergeant said Filippidis got a haircut.

    Far More Methane Leaking at Oil, Gas Sites in Pennsylvania than Reported
    https://insideclimatenews.org/news/16022018/methane-leaks-oil-natural-gas-data-global-warming-pennsylvania-edf-study

    Drawing from peer-reviewed research based on measurements collected downwind of oil and gas sites, along with government data, the EDF analysis estimates that the state's oil and gas wells and infrastructure leak more than 520,000 tons of methane annually, largely due to faulty equipment.

    The underreporting of methane leaks in Pennsylvania is part of a nationwide pattern that peer-reviewed studies have uncovered in recent years as scientists compare federal and state statistics to data they gather on the ground and in aircraft flyovers.[more]

    New Yellowstone earthquake swarm: Fears for deadly SUPERVOLCANO ERUPTION after 12 quakes in one day and specialists say the volcano is under strain
    http://strangesounds.org/2018/02/yellowstone-volcano-earthquake-swarm-february-2018-supervolcano-eruption-volcano-under-strain.html

    The largest and most dangerous volcano in the United States is suddenly experiencing dozens of small earthquakes, most only minutes apart, and experts are suddenly getting concerned that the Yellowstone Super-Volcano may be heading toward an eruption. It is UNDER STRAIN, they say! Yellowstone has been hit by 12 small earthquakes today. All of today’s earthquakes struck near Maple Creek and measured 2.9 or less in magnitude. While all the quakes were relatively small, it does point to an increasingly volatile geological landscape at the park. 46 earthquakes have been measured since February 12, 2018 at this exact same spot!
