Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2019-03-21

Event Update For 2019-03-21

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.

Quote: "Workers at the Henglida Chemical Factory, 3km from the blast, said its windows and doors were blown out. Its roof collapsed as they tried to escape, and causing head injuries."

http://q13fox.com/2019/03/21/weve-already-had-50-brushfires-in-wa-and-its-not-even-april/

Quote: "We are not even into April but we’ve had 50 brush fires across Washington just this week. Firefighters usually start getting busy fighting brush fires and wildfires starting in June, so the fact that we've seen so many fires so far is significant. 'It’s very unusual for our region to see that many wildfires,' Q13 News Meteorologist Tim Joyce said."

Quote: "'I am predicting right now that this year will be worse than last year,' Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz said. Franz says last year was the worst with more than 1,800 brush fires in this state; 40 percent of those were in western Washington. 'This is no longer an Eastern Washington issue this is all Washington state issue,' Franz said."

Note: Think bigger, Franz! This is an all of the planet issue...

Good morning Jonny, Fran, Mike D., Tom N., LL and Terry. May you all be safe and healthy.

Still windy (i'll say, some of the gusts were EPIC!) until about noon, we're being told. Overcast and cool, it's supposed to warm up a bit this week around here.

Today's post has fire ravaged buildings (within 50 miles of me) in PA, (St. Louis) MO and (Austin) TX right in a row.

Major infrastructure damage expected as Severe Tropical Cyclone "Trevor" makes landfall, Australia
https://watchers.news/2019/03/22/tropical-cyclone-trevor-landfall-forecast-march-2019/

Severe Tropical Cyclone "Trevor" was upgraded to Category 3 cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale. Trevor is expected to continue intensifying before it makes landfall somewhere between Port MacArthur and the Northern Territory/Queensland border. Authorities are urging residents to finalize preparations today, follow directions from emergency services, and have their cyclone kits ready.

With severe tropical cyclone Veronica sitting off northwest Western Australia as well, it's only the second time in Australia's history that we'll likely see two Category 4 or above cyclones cross the coast within 24 hours of each other, BOM Senior Meteorologist Dr. Adam Morgan said March 22.

California in ‘Extreme Peril’ from FIRE THREAT – Gov. Gavin Newsom declares STATEWIDE fire emergency to PREPARE
http://strangesounds.org/2019/03/california-statewide-fire-emergency-gavin-newsom.html

California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a statewide wildfire emergency Friday, citing “extreme peril” to life and property, in an effort to speed up forest clearing measures. There have only been two other statewide emergencies in California this century: during the drought in 2014 and the subsequent tree die-off in 2015. The executive order piggybacks on the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s recommendations earlier this month to complete 35 fuel-reduction priority projects. [more]

To be cast out and shunned as an academic is not only to lose your identity but also to lose your entire way of life, from your social circles, your sense of intellectual accomplishment, and even your ability to provide for yourself and your family. Once you are shunned from an academic institution there is little chance you will ever make it back in. The University system is too competitive for second chances.

From Black Plume to Benzene Fumes, Houston's Plight Drags On
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/texas-city-residents-warned-stay-132659473.html

Now that the four-day fire is out at a Houston-area chemical storage complex, the real danger has emerged.

Cancer-causing benzene wafted across suburbs of the fourth-largest U.S. city Thursday, shutting roads, schools and industrial plants, and disrupting normal life for half a day. A major oil refinery in the heart of North America’s most important fuel-producing region told workers to stay home and the Texas National Guard deployed troops to assist with air monitoring. The benzene probably arose from charred chemical tanks as overnight winds stirred remnants of their contents, owner Intercontinental Terminals Co. said. [more]

Rabbi claims 'Purim supermoon' heralds messiah's coming, world's end
https://www.sott.net/article/409720-Rabbi-claims-Purim-supermoon-heralds-messiahs-coming-worlds-end'

An astral phenomenon known as a supermoon which occurred earlier this week and coincided with the Jewish holiday of Purim may be a sign of the coming end of days, according to Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, whose claims were recently published by the Daily Star.

According to the newspaper, the rabbi pointed at the significance of the supermoon as being mentioned in Torah, having "deciphered codes" within the Book of Genesis and discovering worlds "huge moon", "Purim", "repentance", "Israel", "warning" and "Messiah", which suggest a link between Purim and this lunar event.

He also claimed that the end of days will occur by 2021, noting that this prediction of his depends on whether Jews keep "repenting" and "keeping everything which God wants them to keep". [more]

Cyclone Idai: Satellite images show extent of flooding around Beira, Mozambique - new lake forms measuring 80 by 15 miles
https://www.sott.net/article/409721-Cyclone-Idai-Satellite-images-show-extent-of-flooding-around-Beira-Mozambique-new-lake-forms-measuring-80-by-15-miles

New satellite images of the Mozambican port city of Beira have revealed the vast scale of flooding, as rescuers race to reach tens of thousands of people trapped by flood waters from Cyclone Idai.

European Space Agency images show a huge new inland "lake" measuring about 80 miles by 15 miles (125km by 25km).

A large number of people in and around Beira who sought refuge on rooftops and trees are still waiting to be rescued a week after the cyclone struck. As flood waters recede, the priority is to deliver food and other supplies to people on the ground rather than take people out of affected areas, although that is also happening, Mozambique's land and environment minister said.

Slow-moving TC "Veronica" nears the Pilbara coast, extended period of destructive winds expected, Australia
https://watchers.news/2019/03/23/severe-tropical-cyclone-veronica/

Tropical Cyclone "Veronica," now a Category 3 cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale, is slowly moving toward the Pilbara coast on March 23, 2019. A severe coastal impact is expected on Sunday, March 24. Veronica may be traveling slower than a typical system as it crosses the coast, and as a result communities in the path of the cyclone should prepare to shelter from destructive winds for an extended period of 12 hours or more.
