Event Update For 2015-01-20

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.

Note: Bad timer? Maybe. But why didn't he leave if it got too hot? Did he have a 'medical event' and lose consciousness? What were the methane and hydrogen sulfide levels in the water itself? Oh, nobody checked, even after numerous places have found their tapwater to be flammable due to methane contamination. Maybe the water itself ignited and fried this man.

2015-01-20 - Porch bursts into flame, fire spreads, home destroyed, in New Caney (Texas), puppies killed:
http://abc13.com/news/family-loses-everything-after-house-fire/482655/

Quote: "Around 2:00am this morning, Veronica Allen woke up to what sounded like a loud pop on her front porch at her home on Grove Lane. Her husband, Dave, went to investigate and found heavy fire coming from the front of the house."

Quote: "The home was recently given to the family by Veronica's ailing father. They say it was not yet insured and have lost everything."

Note: Popping sound again. That's a gas plume finding an ignition source and igniting in a small explosion, which can ignite anything flammable around. Ignition source can be electrified copper, like a porch light or doorbell wiring, or any rusty iron or steel, like old nails, pipes, barbecue grills, hinges, brackets, etc, or any type of heat source, like a heat lamp or space heater, or fire of any kind. These pops and popping sounds have been heard right as many fires have erupted in the last 2 or 3 years. If you hear a sound like that at your home, you might want to have a look around and see if a fire just ignited. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and animals and people sickening or dying more common during those hours...

'He had the entire trolling motor in his mouth, and was moving it side to side, and it was shaking the boat,' Fitzgerald says, 'I've been chartering for nine years, and I’ve never seen a shark try to attack my boat. It was very exciting for all of us. It really got our hearts beating hard.'"

'It looks prehistoric, it looks like it’s from another time.'"

Note: Another deepwater species moving closer to the surface, like many other deepwater species that have been caught or found dead in recent years. Methane and hydrogen sulfide are rising from the depths...
