Event Update For 2014-04-09

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.

2014-04-09 - Hillside destabilizes in Jackson (Wyoming), neighborhood told to prepare to evacuate, some homes already evacuated:
http://www.localnews8.com/news/jackson-issues-evacuation-advisory/25399248
http://www.kpvi.com/content/news/local/story/UPDATE-Evacuation-Continues-in-Jackson/OKj3JtdOlEyWrM0CFqEy0w.cspx

Note: Not all that far from Yellowstone. Did you know that Yellowstone's Old Faithful live webcam has been down for two days now and is entering a third straight day of being down? As far as I know, that has never happened before. And did you know the US government is seeking large numbers of buses for evacuation of the general population in the continental United States?

Quote: "This is a solicitation for a single indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to obtain evacuation planning and operational support to facilitate a motor coach evacuation of the general population in response to Presidential-Declared Emergencies and Major Disasters within the continental United States."

Note: Worth paying attention to this stuff, especially if you live within, say, 500 miles of Yellowstone. Don't expect to get any warning. If Yellowstone erupts big and you live within a few hundred miles then you'll hear it and then you'll have a short window of time to GTFO, or wait for a GTFO Bus, or you could be buried under ash. It wouldn't be worth staying around. Everything would die, all the buildings would collapse, no sewer, no running water, no roads, no natural gas for heat, no electrical grid, not even solar power - or not much anyway - because the sky would be darkened. Maybe it won't erupt, or maybe if it does it won't be a big eruption, but the signs are looking increasingly ominous, especially when viewed in the context of all the OTHER volcanoes erupting around the world. Stay alert, hope for the best...but prepare for the worst.
 

2014-04-09 - Car bursts into flame while parked in coastal Boston (Massachusetts), fire spreads to homes, gets huge:
http://www.universalhub.com/2014/fire-rips-through-east-boston-house

http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2014/04/09/firefighters-battling-alarm-fire-east-boston/C9RiK09C6o1yAoZSLmxHFL/story.html

Quote: "The Boston Globe reported that the fire may have started in a car. Fire Department Spokesman Steve MacDonald told the Globe a car was 'fully engulfed in a nearby alley when firefighters arrived.' The report also said a 13-year-old witness said 'the flames just started in the engine. It just, like burst in flames.'"

Note: And that's why it's increasingly foolish to park vehicles near buildings or other vehicles. All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, like this car did. Then if the vehicle is near some buildings or other vehicles, they can go up in flames too, and very quickly, just as happened here. The longer this problem is ignored, the more homes and businesses that will burn down, and the more lives that will be lost. I normally don't headline a car fire, but this car fire turned into a massive EIGHT-ALARM building fire that wiped out a chunk of that street...

2014-04-09 - RV explodes and burns, two other vehicles and shed go up in flames too in Santa Paula (California), 1 injured:

Quote: "An explosion and fire in a trailer sent one man to the hospital Wednesday afternoon. The fire occurred in the 4000 Block Santa Paula Ojai Road not far from Mupu School. Following the explosion fire engulfed several cars and a large pine tree."

Note: About 500 feet northeast (downwind) of Santa Paula Creek...

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140409/METRO06/304090052/0/METRO/Authorities-Man-70-dies-following-brush-fire-West-Michigan

Quote: "In western Michigan, the Muskegon Chronicle reports Roger D. Kludy, 70, of Hart has died of injuries following a brush fire. He was badly burned in the Monday fire in Oceana County and Sheriff’s Lt. Craig Mast says he died at a hospital. Authorities say they believe Kludy was burning brush when something went awry and Kludy was burned."

Note: There've been a growing number of people burning to death in similar circumstances. Hydrogen sulfide is absorbing into absorbent materials, like dried brush, dead trees, wood, paper, mulch, dried leaves, clothes, etc. Then when you BURN that stuff, some of the hydrogen sulfide will be in the smoke, and that may knock you unconscious. Then you're unconscious AND there's a fire burning right near you - not hard to see how that scenario plays out...

http://www.wltribune.com/news/254560961.html

Quote: "We’re just lucky it happened in the afternoon and not at 3 a.m..."

Note: The man has no idea just HOW lucky that actually was. Most of the parked vehicles that have been spontaneously igniting have been doing so in the wee hours. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground...

Quote: "San Jose firefighters responded to the fire, primarily contained to the garage."

Note: Pic shows the destroyed SUV inside that garage, so this was probably another vehicle spontaneously igniting in the middle of the night and burning nearby structures, much like that car that burst into flame in coastal Boston while it was parked between two residential buildings on this day. Vehicles need not be running to spontaneously ignite now. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with electrified copper, so that means any vehicle with a battery is a fire threat, and it's also reactive with rusty iron/steel, so any vehicle with rust is a fire threat too...

Note: For the record, I don't go out looking for pit bull stories, just general animal attacks. I'm not anti-pit-bull, don't have a particular beef with pit bulls or anything. But as you can see for yourself, in MANY cases animal attacks do involve pit bulls. If I had to guess at the percentage, pit bulls seem to be the culprit in at least 80% of dog attacks, and I know there are not 4 times as many pit bulls as there are all other types of dogs combined...

Around 3 a.m. the medical crew aboard the cruise ship notified the Coast Guard that they had a 44-year old man experiencing respiratory issues. The ship’s medical crew discussed the man’s condition with the Coast Guard’s on-duty flight surgeon and determined a medevac was necessary."

Quote: "Hundreds of French school children have fallen victim to a mystery sickness that has spread like wildfire through their school. All classes have been suspended and baffled health authorities have advised the school to close, while they try to determine the cause of the outbreak. Since January at least 227 pupils at their school in south-western France have reported headaches, dizziness, vertigo and trouble breathing while, but health authorities, despite carrying out multiple tests, are no closer to determining the cause."

Note: All possible symptoms of hydrogen sulfide exposure. Artix is located just northeast (downwind) of a river called Gave de Pau...
