Quote: "A wind-driven fire at Camping World along Interstate 84 burned around a dozen RVs and campers Thursday afternoon. No one was hurt in the fire, officials said, but several firefighters were briefly engulfed in flames. The fire was initially reported after 3 p.m. Thursday at the Camping World RV dealership along I-84. Flames extended to the main building and damaged between 10 and 15 campers."
Note: Not just campers - there were some big RVs burning in that lot too. They don't break down how many of each, so I'll just call it 4 RVs to be conservative. These are the 34th, 35th, 26th and 37th RVs to burn/explode in 2017...

http://www.jewishpress.com/news/breaking-news/haifas-mini-subway-the-carmelit-catches-fire/2017/02/05/
Quote: "Fire fighting teams managed to put out the flames after two Carmelit train cars parked at Paris Station caught fire on Saturday. One woman living near Golomb Station was reported to have been injured from inhaling the smoke, it began to fill underground stations and exit to street level. Several areas of the city were cut off of electricity as atemtps were made to halt the fire."
Note: Israeli scientists detected hundreds of 'gas springs' bubbling methane from the sea floor off their coast in late 2012, mentioned in the 2012-11-12 update. That problem has surely gotten worse since then. And in the Gaza Strip, on the coast, gas was filmed spewing from sandy ground just last year, mentioned in the 2016-02-08 update. That was likely methane from those seabed eruptions leaking up through the ground along the Gaza Strip. Methane is likely migrating up through the ground in Haifa now too, and when it does, it may get trapped in subways and cause fires and/or explosions...

http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/iumi-fires-on-ro-ro-passenger-vehicle-decks-on-the-rise/
Quote: "The International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) has today (Wednesday) published a position paper voicing its concerns with fires on ro-ro passenger vehicles. Marine underwriters have witnessed an increase in the frequency of fires in the car/ro-ro passenger vessel segment and IUMI have put forward recommendations to mitigate the risks."
Quote: "While the paper mainly focuses on ro-ro passenger vessels, similar concerns with fires exist also for car carriers. It is also worth noting that damage to the cargo on these vessels can be significant, although the fire itself may be contained."
Note: If they'd listened to me five years ago, they maybe could have saved themselves umpteen million dollars by being pro-active instead of reactive. I also said recycling facilities would be going up in flames, and two years later almost all major international insurers had bowed out of the business because of heavy losses due to the increasing numbers of recycling center fires, mentioned in the 2014-04-04 update. Not that I'm one to shed too many tears over insurance companies...

2017-02-12 - At least two mysterious explosions shake homes and rattle people in Whitley County (Indiana):
http://www.thepostandmail.com/content/loud-booms-first-responders-probe-house-rattling-bangs-southern-whitley
http://www.sott.net/article/342510-First-responders-probe-loud-house-rattling-booms-in-northeast-Indiana
Quote: "Homeowners reported the explosive noise literally shook their houses. Possible sonic booms from air craft in the area were discounted as the cause as there were no Air National Guard exercises ongoing at the time. Another cause could be the phenomena named "frost quakes," although those usually happen in much colder weather; however, there is also a moisture component to the freak winter events."
Note: Yeah, well, these mysterious explosions have been happening in the spring, summer and fall too, so there's no reason to think these current ones were caused by something different just because they happened in the winter. Whatever is causing these explosions - likely atmospheric explosions, since 'flashes of 'light' and 'sulfur smells' and smoke have been reported with some of them - is something that is happening year-round. This will be way more obvious once a few towns have been turned into charred craters...
