Quote: "'The tornado was hovering over the house,' Amanda Woodley, Bledsoe's granddaughter, told CNN. 'It was just a tornado fire over the house.'"
Quote: "It was the most intense tornado in California history. But unlike most tornadoes, this vortex had a swirl of flames that reached an unprecedented 143 mph as it barreled toward Redding and scraped the bark off trees, uprooted trunks and incinerated homes, the National Weather Service announced Thursday."
Quote: "Trees appeared to be levitating, and branches and sheet-metal roofs seemed to orbit the column, Moore said. Uprooted objects launched into the air ignited mid-flight. Vegetation and homes hundreds of feet from the column also caught fire before the twister arrived, he said. It was as loud as a roaring jet engine."
Note: Hard to get more apocalyptic than firenadoes rampaging around that are the equivalent of powerful tornadoes!

2018-08-06 - Insurers fleeing California and other western states as fires escalate:
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-wildfires-property-insurers-cancel-policies-because-of-risk/
http://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1026668775070949376
Quote: "Residents of U.S. towns damaged by wildfires may need to prepare for another repercussion: insurers that decide to cancel policies because of increased risks from more frequent fires. Facing mounting losses, some property insurers are pulling back from selling policies in California and other western states where wildfire risk is elevated. In California alone, damages had mounted to at least $12 billion by early 2018, while the state's Carr fire likely added another $1.5 billion in insured losses."
Note: "See yas, buh bye, good luck with that whole getting-destroyed-by-fire thing!'

http://fox40.com/2018/07/29/live-blog-mendocino-complex-fire/
Quote: "Two wildfires blazing in California, known as the Mendocino Complex fire, became the largest recorded in state history on Monday, crossing a grim milestone. The fire, in Colusa, Lake and Mendocino counties, has killed two people and burned almost 283,800 acres as of Monday. It has destroyed at least 143 structures, including 75 homes, according to Cal Fire officials. More than 9,000 structures remain under threat. The Mendocino complex fires, which encompass an area the size of Los Angeles, surpassed the Thomas wildfire in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, which burned 281,893 acres last year."
Quote: "We're looking at over 629,000 acres of ground and vegetation burned in California since January 1 of this year. Last year, same period of time, 223,000 acres..."
Note: So wildfires are burning at almost triple the rate of last year, and last year was itself a record-setting year. From the full hypothesis: "Probably the most noticeable effect will be fires and explosions sweeping across the planet."

Quote: "A plane made an emergency landing at New York's Kennedy Airport after reports of smoke in the cockpit. Officials say United Airlines Flight 4697 from Washington to Providence, Rhode Island was diverted about 2 p.m. Tuesday. About 50 people were evacuated from the twin-engine Embraer ERJ-145 regional jet and bused to a terminal."
Note: This is the 132nd aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2018. In all of 2017, 116 planes came down smoking or burning or exploded, so we're already well past that count, with nearly five months to go in the year. The number of planes coming down smoking or burning is rising, even as the amount of flammable methane in the atmosphere is rising...

Quote: "The largest wildfire in California's recorded history expanded to almost 300,000 acres on Tuesday, postponing the start of the school year as ash choked the air and thousands of people remained driven from their homes. The Mendocino Complex, encompassing two fires lapping the northern and western shores of Clear Lake about 80 miles northwest of Sacramento, added 17,000 acres overnight to reach 290,000 acres, authorities said."
Quote: "The blaze, dubbed the Mendocino Complex, was reported 20 percent contained on Tuesday. Its rapid growth at the same time firefighters were battling more than a dozen other major blazes around the state fanned fears that 2018 could become the worst wildfire season in California history."

2018-08-09 - Underground coal refuse fire spreads near glass plant near the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania):
http://triblive.com/local/valleynewsdispatch/13960005-74/underground-fire-at-east-deer-glass-plant-appears-to-have-spread
Quote: "The coal refuse fire burning under the Pittsburgh Glass Works plant in East Deer may be spreading. Fire was seen shooting up through the ground behind the plant Thursday night, according to workers. Two pockets of smoke rising from the ground were visible behind the plant along Ferry Street on Friday morning. Since last September, the company has been investigating an ongoing fire under the plant caused by coal refuse that apparently was used as backfill for the factory site many years ago. Thursday’s fire outbreak outside of the plant, closer to the Allegheny River, appears to be a new development, according to a statement released by PGW on Friday."

http://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/12/as-california-burns-climate-goals-may-go-up-in-smoke-even-after-the-flames-are-out/
Quote: "Scientists say that only about 15 percent of a forest’s store of carbon is expelled during burns. The remainder is released slowly over the coming years and decades, as trees decay. That second hit of carbon, experts say, contains compounds that do more to accelerate climate change than those from the original fire. And future fires over previously burned ground could make climate prospects even more bleak."

http://www.kktv.com/content/news/Methane-explosion-injures-1-in-Rush-490870301.html
Quote: "The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says a methane explosion happened Tuesday afternoon at the Miami-Yoder School. The good news is that no students were injured, according to the sheriff's office. The methane was built up inside a sprinkler system about 150 feet south of the school, the sheriff's office said, and when a worker went to open a valve, the explosion occurred. It's not clear how methane got into the sprinkler system."
Note: Methane is water-soluble, so sprinkler system, water-soluble methane, probably got into the sprinkler system via contaminated water. Either that or it's in the ground there...
