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.

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=LS-20140501-43577-USA
Note: More subsidence problems in coastal areas. Not a good sign when taken in context with the methane clathrates dissolving off the East Coast. As the clathrates dissolve, the East Coast is likely to experience subsidence problems like sinkholes and landslides. Over time, as the process accelerates, the entire East Coast may be rendered uninhabitable by subsidence, fires, explosions and poisoning...

Quote: "It's pretty much complete destruction inside this facility. It was a huge explosion..."
Quote: "It's unclear what caused the explosion, but people in the area reported a strong smell of natural gas before the blast."
Note: Natural gas doesn't actually HAVE a smell, so they add stinky mercaptan to it, which has a 'rotten egg' odor. Hydrogen sulfide also has a 'rotten egg' odor at low concentrations, so people are confusing the two smells. Hydrogen sulfide is also corrosive to steel and concrete, so it will not only cause explosions and fires itself, but it will also corrode natural gas pipelines and then serve as the igniter for natural gas via its reactivity with rusty iron/steel and electrified copper. It'll also corrode sewer and water pipes and cause more sinkholes too, in addition to causing more natural gas leaks. Florida is downwind of the Gulf of Mexico, North America's sewer...

Note: Quite a few truckers dropping dead in their trucks these days. Actually, quite a few people being found dead in vehicles of any kind. Hydrogen sulfide can knock you dead with one breath, it's coming from outdoors, and being in a vehicle is very close to the same as being outdoors, especially if windows are rolled down or AC or heat are being used...

Quote: "David Powell, 24, was found dead in a room at Stockmen’s Hotel & Casino on Friday. When his girlfriend returned to the room, Powell was in a standing position at the foot of the bed, bent forward at the waist and facing down on the bed. When she touched him, he fell to the floor, Elko police said."
Note: Pretty freaky. Probably got poisoned outdoors somewhere then collapsed dead when he went back to his room, and it was just some bizarre fluke that he died in this position...
