Event Update For 2019-08-21
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.

College classes begin on Mon. for me (1st class 8:30, 2nd one done by noon). So my commenting will be delayed on MW&F.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, i was lucky enough to escape damage by this round of severe storms. Last evening we got HUGE lightning and some rain, but nothing to complain about, though i did see a fire truck and an ambulance responding in two different areas as i was riding home.
Once again a large number of tractor trailer fires occurred on this day and many people dropped dead. It's peculiar that we get spikes or upticks in various categories of JJFH at random times. When these spikes become normal daily occurrences, we know we're experiencing that upward curve on the exponential graph of climate change. Eventually, it's going to get bad enough that it catches the attention of everyone. Keep an eye on the spreading blue-green algae.

A fast-moving wildfire that broke out on Thursday on the outskirts of a National Forest in Northern California has prompted the evacuation of a community college, a major highway and some residents, officials said.
The Mountain Fire, which erupted about noon PDT just north of the town of Bella Vista in Shasta County, had raced across some 600 acres (240 hectares) within a few hours, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said on its incident website. [more]

Record-breaking lightning as long as Kansas spotted
https://www.sott.net/article/419055-Record-breaking-lightning-as-long-as-Kansas-spotted
analysis revealed two record-breaking lightning flashes, the longest by length and by duration. One stretched over Brazil some 418 miles from tip to tail — slightly longer than Kansas is across. The second lit up skies for 13.5 seconds over the central United States. A third lightning flash over the southern United States sprawled some 44,400 square miles — nearly the area of Ohio. (Official data aren't kept for the flash with the largest area, so it's not possible to determine if it set a record.)
The previous record-holding flashes "called into question our typical view of lightning," Peterson says. But these latest mega-flashes "are now essentially pushing the boundary further for what lightning can be." [more]

Rare weather phenomenon amassing in southern hemisphere - Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW)
ReplyDeletehttps://watchers.news/2019/08/22/southern-hemisphere-sudden-stratospheric-warming-2019/
A rare weather phenomenon for the southern hemisphere - Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) - is amassing in the polar stratosphere. This may lead to unusual or extreme weather in parts of the southern hemisphere (potentially New Zealand) during September and October 2019. SSWs are much more common in the northern hemisphere. You are probably familiar with a major northern hemisphere's SSW event of February 2018 - dubbed the 'Beast from the East' - and odds are you'll be seeing many international headlines with 'September to Remember' in the days and weeks ahead.

Missing 411? Massive 20-agency search for missing firefighters during fishing trip called off
https://www.sott.net/article/419046-Missing-411-Massive-20-agency-search-for-missing-firefighters-during-fishing-trip-called-off
More than 20 agencies, including the Coast Guard, the Navy, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations, the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were involved in the 105,000-square-mile search for the two men.
