Event Update For 2018-12-13

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.

2018-12-13 - Sewer gas, e.g. hydrogen sulfide, reported outside Whately Elementary School in South Deerfield (Massachusetts), 5100 feet from the Connecticut River:
http://www.westernmassnews.com/news/start-of-whately-elementary-school-delayed-due-to-gas-odor/article_6c55ec02-fed9-11e8-a87d-7391bf5eaa50.html

http://www.recorder.com/Odor-delays-start-of-school-at-Whately-Elementary-22155709

Quote: "According to Superintendent Darius Modestow, someone had dialed 911 around 8:15 Thursday morning after they detected a strong smell of gas outside of the building. Students and employees were not allowed to enter the building while officials investigated the source of the smell. Gas company officials also arrived on scene, later stating that it was not a natural gas smell, but of sewer gas."

Note: Yet another example of people confusing the smell of hydrogen sulfide with the additive added to natural gas, at least when the hydrogen sulfide is at low concentrations. The people who've gotten hit by more concentrated clouds of hydrogen sulfide - 0.1% or higher - may or may not have confused the two. We can't ask them though, because they're all dead...

2018-12-13 - After three men found dead in/near water, police see no connection, in Austin (Texas):
http://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/no-connections-found-in-mens-deaths-near-downtown-austin-waters-police-say/269-623209651

Quote: "After three men were found dead near water in Downtown Austin in recent months, Austin police say they see no connection among the cases."

Note: Seems like a pretty obvious connection. They even mention the connection - they've all been found dead in or near water. Maybe once these cops fall over dead or burn to death or whatever then Austin can hire some more intelligent and competent cops. An unknown rotten egg odor just blew through Austin and Pflugerville, mentioned in the 2018-12-11 update. A man was found dead beneath an overpass near a school in Austin on that day too. Austin isn't unique. So many people have been found dead in bodies of water in Bristol (Britain) that people have speculated that there's a serial killer who people have dubbed 'The Bristol Pusher' running around pushing people into canals. The police say there's no evidence to support that. Bristol has also been regularly getting hit by unknown rotten egg odors. Other areas are experiencing the same thing, not all the time, but from time to time. Atmospheric doom is spreading across the planet. This is mainly a problem for people who have a desire to remain alive...

http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/37-year-old-man-dies-in-police-custody-in-New-13464338.php

Quote: "New Braunfels police say officers were called to a home on Stonecrest Path just before 11 p.m. about a man yelling loudly and throwing things. Officers got there and quickly determined the man was actually having a sudden medical issue that was prompting the behavior. Police say they were able to calm the man down enough for them to handcuff him with his permission to keep him from hurting himself. Within minutes of their arrival, police say they had called for paramedics to come to the scene. The New Braunfels Fire Department arrived about five minutes later. The man — later identified as 37-year-old Bryan Boyd — was then placed on a stretcher in an ambulance to keep him from thrashing his arms and legs. Just after 11:20 p.m., police say Boyd stopped breathing.  The paramedics began doing CPR and took him to a hospital in New Braunfels where he would die about 40 minutes later."

Note: New Braunfels is about 45 miles as the gas blows southwest of Austin, where the bodies have been found in or near water and where an unknown rotten egg odor just blew through...
