Event Update For 2015-07-18





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.

2015-07-18 - Driver has 'medical condition', dump truck veers across median, hits cars, 23+ vehicle pileup ensues, on I-5 near Mount Vernon (Washington), 6 injured:

http://bc.ctvnews.ca/canadians-involved-in-massive-car-smash-on-washington-highway-1.2476021

Quote: "The driver of a dump truck that crashed on Interstate 5 in Mount Vernon, triggering a 28-vehicle pileup that injured six people, suffered a medical condition that caused him to lose control of his rig, the Washington State Patrol said Sunday."

Note: Just east (downwind) of the Skagit River...

2015-07-18 - Man has 'medical emergency', pickup crashes, two rollovers ensue, in Greenville (North Carolina), 1 injured:
http://www.witn.com/home/headlines/Medical-emergency-causes-2-rollover-crashes-316823081.html

Quote: "Greenville Police say a driver's medical emergency caused 2 rollover accidents during the morning commute Saturday."

Note: As the oceans belch increasing amounts of methane and hydrogen sulfide, more people are losing consciousness, having seizures or 'medical events' or dropping dead. Some of the people affected will be drivers, so as time goes on, more drivers will be incapacitated or killed while driving. A lot of these incidents go under the radar because responders show up and find a car wrapped around a car and the driver dead, or they find two vehicles crumpled into nothing in a head-on collision with everyone dead, or they find cars submerged in bodies of water with everyone inside dead, so there's nobody around to notice that the driver was spazzing and/or dying prior to the crash. Basically, you shouldn't count on people staying conscious - or even alive - while driving. Also see the man who slumped over dead in his big rig on I-10 in San Dimas (California) on this day...

http://kobi5.com/news/local-news/item/elderly-man-sustains-critical-burns-after-car-fire-on-i-5.html#.Vay8qPlVhBc

Quote: "Oregon State Police say it happened at around two o'clock, a blue Mercury somehow caught fire with an 83-year old man inside and his two dogs. OSP says the man could not get out of his car and sustained critical burns. His two dogs did not make it out alive. Fire district three helped put out the fire."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with electrified copper. Such fires may disable the electrical system and if you have power locks and windows and your doors are locked and your windows are rolled up then you can get trapped inside a burning car. It seems wise these days to keep something handy in your vehicle with which to cut seatbelts and break out windows. You may have only seconds to act before lack of oxygen knocks you unconscious and then you're dead unless somebody outside the vehicle acts quickly and saves you...

http://virginislandsdailynews.com/news/tests-ramp-up-to-find-cause-of-red-hook-stink-1.1913790

Quote: "Routch said the odor reminds him of hydrogen sulfide, which can be a byproduct of decaying organic matter. 'If I were a consultant working on this, first thing I would immediately do is I'd get some air monitors in that school. I don't think the people realize that it is a potential health hazard,' said Routch who worked for several years as an environmental consultant. Routch said hydrogen sulfide can mix with the moisture in the body and irritate tissue. Last year, noxious fumes forced students and staff out of Central High School on St. Croix for months. Tests showed elevated readings of hydrogen sulfide at the school, emanating from the sewer system."

    A Greyhound bus lies in a ditch after authorities say a passenger grabbed the steering wheel from the driver and forced it off a Southern California freeway in San Bernardino, Calif., Saturday, July 4, 2015. California Highway Patrol Sgt. Grady Stevens says the bus careened off Interstate 10, crashed through a chain link fence and into the ditch. Stevens said the man who caused the crash broke a bus window and ran several blocks before collapsing in a restaurant parking lot, where he was arrested. [zat sound normal a you?]

    Mudslides force10,000 to evacuate in Tajikistan

    The mudflows have caused damage to buildings and infrastructure in local villages. The debris has also blocked the flow of the Gund river, creating an artificial lake which has flooded areas along the river.

    As of 18 July 2015, the UN's Rapid Emergency Assessment and Coordination Team (REACT) in Tajikistan reports that at least 56 houses have been destroyed and 10,000 people forced to evacuate to safer sites. Schools, stores, roads and electricity lines have also been damaged and 80% of the communities in the region have been without electricity. No casualties have been reported.

    Town Hit by Sleeping Illness Finally Gets Answer but No Resolution
    https://www.yahoo.com/health/town-hit-by-sleeping-illness-finally-gets-answer-124575534198.html

    [quote]

    The mysterious sleeping sickness that has befallen dozens of villagers in a remote region of Kazakhstan continues to befuddle scientists. Following reports of victims passing out in schools, at home, and even on a motorcycle, and sometimes failing to snap out of it for days at a time, scientists descended on the 600-person village of Kalachi.

    And while the ruling last week by local officials is carbon monoxide poisoning, reports the Astana Times, scientists aren’t convinced.

    While the “symptoms fit,” as a Duke pulmonologist tells Wired, it’s unlikely that the gas — suspected to be coming from a nearby uranium mine — would be in concentrations high enough for illness in open spaces. Plus the mine is inactive, so where’s the carbon monoxide coming from?

    It’s possible that other gases, like carbon dioxide, could be to blame, as it occurs naturally in our environment and is tough to detect. And hydrocarbons that could be in the form of methane gas appear to be escaping from the mine, though the question of how such a gas remains concentrated enough to cause these symptoms remains.

  5. Losing that bridge on I-10 is just huge! Not sure what the alternative is. They'd best get an army of people working to replace that bridge ASAP. This will be a massive disruption to trucking of goods. The whole trucking industry must be freaking out and scrambling to figure out alternative routes, but rerouting around a broken I-10 will be no easy task.
