Event Update For 2014-04-23

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.

2014-04-23 - Underground fire breaks out in Hatfield (Pennsylvania), investigators puzzled:
http://thealternativepress.com/articles/underground-fire-on-vernon-court-in-hatfield-wedn

Quote: "An underground fire near PECO gas meters that affected residents of five townhomes on Vernon Court in Hatfield Township has left investigators puzzled, namely because neither PECO nor PPL Electric Utilities could tell them how or why the fire started Wednesday evening. Hatfield Township Fire Marshal Mike Waldron is now left with an uneasy feeling. 'It makes me nervous. I want more closure as to what happened so we can prevent it from happening again,' Waldron said."

Quote: "At 5 p.m. Wednesday, Hatfield Volunteer Fire Co. received a 911 report of a fire near a gas meter outside a house on the 100 block of Vernon Court, he said. When fire officials and Hatfield Township Police arrived, there was a fire in three different spots, coming out of the ground and burning through mulch, Waldron said."

Note: Almost pure methane was detected just inches below the soil surface at a town in Pennsylvania, as mentioned in the 2012-09-08 update. An underground fire just caused a public market to evacuate in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), possibly caused by underground methane and/or hydrogen sulfide building up, mentioned in the 2014-04-22 update...

2014-04-23 - Underground electrical fire erupts on Riverside Avenue in coastal Jacksonville (Florida), some buildings go dark:

http://www.topix.com/business/energy/2014/04/fire-underground-causes-evacuation-of-yates-ymca

Quote: "An underground fire filled the air with smoke, knocked out power to some businesses and closed down Riverside Avenue,  according to the Florida Times-Union."

Note: You just can't count on the ground not igniting under you anymore. At least they quit trying to blame the underground electrical fires on snow, at least until it snows again, and then they'll be back to that, hoping that you'll forget that these underground fires are happening when there is no snow too...

The family of four wasn't home at the time, but they're struggling to comprehend the loss of a house they built outside Plainwell. By the time Evan Elkins made it home, only a few walls were left."

Note: That's why I've mentioned that it's dangerous to park vehicles near anything you don't want to see burning, like homes, or other vehicles, or any kind of building really. It must be traumatic to return home to find out you don't have a home anymore...

2014-04-23 - Person drops dead in home in Chicago (Illinois), 'gas leak' reported too:
http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/27024200-418/person-found-dead-in-oak-lawn-home-after-gas-leak-cops.html

Quote: "Authorities think the person died of natural causes before the gas leak was reported, and no foul play is suspected, he said."

Note: By 'gas leak' they mean someone smelled a 'rotten egg' odor, like that of mercaptan, which is added to natural gas so that it has any smell at all. But hydrogen sulfide also smells like 'rotten eggs' in low concentrations, so people are confusing the two. They don't mention actually finding a gas leak, just that one was reported, e.g. someone smelled 'rotten egg' odor...and at the same time, here's a dead person. Uh huh...

One possibility: he slumped over unconscious or dead while driving, or had a seizure or 'medical event', with his foot on the gas...

Just from what I can recall offhand, FEMA has paid for firefighting systems at docks; people are training all over the place for plane fires, tunnel fires, train fires and ship fires; they pumped a heavier-than-air gas into the subways in NYC (and in London too) to see where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will go once in the subways; rockets were launched off the East Coast to analyze the upper atmosphere; and the US government is procuring large numbers of buses for a motor coach evacuation of the civilian population in the continental US...
