Event Update For 2014-02-03





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.

2014-02-03 - Man found burned to death at scene of brush fire in coastal Quincy (Massachusetts):

Note: Quincy is where a 'rotten egg' odor was blowing in off the ocean last year, as mentioned in the 2013-05-09 update. A mysterious plane was reported buzzing the city at night too, as mentioned in the 2013-05-10 update...
 



2014-02-03 - Home damaged by explosion and fire in Hot Springs Village (Arkansas), 1 killed:
http://www.arkansasmatters.com/story/d/story/oxygen-generator-possible-culprit-in-deadly-explos/32445/z4xhJQKtV0aej0mtDx7CHA

Quote: "According to the HSVFD the fire started around an oxygen generator in the bedroom. 'Whether that was working, operating or not, we can't determine that,' Chief Miller remarked. While it is a possible culprit, they can't say for sure."

Note: Hmm, oxygen is a fire risk all by itself. Oxygen generator sounds like a machine powered by electricity. Add a little hydrogen sulfide to the mix (possibly methane too) and you might get some sparking and a fire near some electrified copper in the oxygen generator. Then if the oxygen line ruptures...BOOM! Electricity and concentrated oxygen is probably not a good combination in these times. Either one is a danger unto itself, especially now, but combined, even more dangerous. We might just start seeing people with serious respiratory ailments getting incinerated or blown apart at an increasing rate. Actually, there've been a fair number of such incidents already, and it already looks like such events are escalating. Time will tell...

Quote: "MFB Commander Bruce Pickthall said the fire engulfed up to 40 pallets of plastics which were to be recycled."

Note: Put anything flammable near a pallet and you may just get a fire. Actually, pallets are going up in flames on their own, but it's gonna be even worse if there's flammable stuff near them or on them, like plastic...

http://www.arklatexhomepage.com/story/d/story/mystery-bug-sickens-hundreds-at-north-texas-high-s/21220/NtiOcvK_F0204LPnSC1Juw

Quote: "Richardson High School administrators said the mystery illness isn't the flu and they don't believe it's from the cafeteria food."

Note: They call it a virus, yet no virus has been identified, so that's an assumption. Same symptoms as low-level hydrogen sulfide poisoning. A cruise ship with 160 sick passengers just docked in Texas too, after cruising through the Gulf of Mexico, as mentioned in the 2014-01-31 update. It wasn't that long ago that three high school students collapsed to the ground with seizures and foaming at the mouth in El Paso (Texas), near the Rio Grande, as mentioned in the 2013-06-04 update. 22 Houston students suddenly collapsed unconscious at an outdoor stadium in Texas in late 2011 too, with a 'strange odor' mentioned. Texas is right on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, so one would expect Texas to be hit harder by poisoning incidents than many other places...

  1. I was off-line for two full days due to ice storm here in southeastern PA starting Wed. about 7:30 a.m. Power was finally restored last evening about 8:30 p.m.
    I missed your posts and am catching up. That Slovenia storm made me thank my luck it wasn't here - cause this was bad enough: no electricity, water (well-pump), heat, internet, tv or radio - and no cell phone service for the first 6 hours or so. It was a strange state of affairs. This is just a taste of things to come (as far as extremes go, since Australia is showing us what the other side is like). As your blog indicates - every day it just seems to get worse. Wait til all the new infectious diseases start making themselves known (China just had it's second case of H10N8 - very rare and extremely contagious and virulent).

    1. Yikes, sorry you had to deal with that, but yeah, you fared way better than Slovenia! I always thought I'd prefer cold to heat, being as you can always put on more layers of clothes, but that Slovenia storm has made me think twice about that.
