Event Update For 2018-12-19

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.

2018-12-19 - Huge magnitude 7.8 earthquake in Japan in 1993 shook up seafloor methane and resulted in massive fires:
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1061127/earthquake-news-japan-experts-uncover-post-earthquake-okushuri-tsunami-fires-methane-gas
http://infosurhoy.com/cocoon/saii/xhtml/en_GB/top-stories/the-bizarre-purpose-tsunami-fires-broke-out-after-japan-earthquake/

Quote: "But the mystery of ships spontaneously bursting into flames following the tsunami crashing into the harbour- with winds from the tsunami driving the blaze further inland has never been solved. As a second tsunami wave hurtled toward shore, it generated powerful winds that pushed the burning boats to the coastal area, spreading the fire into the city. But now, researchers and experts in Japan have claimed that a build-up methane gas on the floor of the Sea of Japan were disturbed by the earthquake was a likely cause of the fires that swept through the area."

Quote: "Using previously 'inaccessible' footage from Japanese broadcaster NHK, Yuji Enomoto, a professor emeritus at Shinshu University in Japan, explained how witnesses at the time described rising mists and seawater 'foaming' before the fires took place. One witness said: 'The offshore area looked shining white and bubbling.' Researchers from the university say the bubbles that witnesses described seeing in 1993 represented methane that was formerly embedded in the seafloor, but was dislodged by the ground sliding. The once-trapped methane bubbles were then squeezed up and out into the air by the tsunami front, which transported them to the shore."

Quote: "The researchers held tests that found when electrostatic energy generated a charge of 0.28 millijoules, the methane would catch fire. The team concluded that methane electrostatically ignited when the wind violently drove released methane into Aonae Harbor's quay. Methane bubbles that had accumulated on the decks of the fishing boats sparked."

Quote: "Professor Enomoto told Live Science that tsunami fires are an 'understudied hazard' - and pointed out significant quantities of methane remain buried in coastal regions of Japan."

Note: There are huge amounts of methane off the US East and West coasts too, and all around India, and in many other areas around the planet. There's more than three times as much energy stored in oceanic methane deposits than all the energy in coal, oil and natural gas deposits on the planet COMBINED. Once the coastal methane deposits start dissociating at a rapid rate, which is just a matter of time, the oceans may turn into gargantuan flamethrowers. A rising number of 'ocean outgassing' incidents have been occurring already in California, concurrent with California being ravaged by increasingly devastating wildfires, so this process has already begun, at least in California, although obviously things will get much much worse...

2018-12-19 - Galahs, magpies and pigeons dropping dead out of the sky in Lower Lakes (Australia):

Quote: "A large number of dead galahs have shown signs of possible poisoning after 'literally falling out of the sky' in South Australia's Lower Lakes region."

Quote: "Ms Hope said she had since heard reports of galahs being found in Murray Bridge and at Goolwa, and hoped the Government took it further to test the environment and find out where the 'chemicals were coming from'. She said in the past week the deaths had crossed species into magpies and pigeons, while a large bird of prey, possibly a wedge-tailed eagle, had been found in an advanced state of decomposition. 'It's face down and has died in the same way. It's really tragic.' She said corellas had just started to arrive in the region but that the galahs came first in larger numbers than usual. It seems they're coming down to the lake because it's so dry up north, but the first flock that came down has become nothing within a couple of weeks. Earlier this year some 200 galahs were found dead in the town of Burra in the state's mid-north. An investigation by the Department for Environment and Water was unable to find a cause of death."
