Event Update For 2017-08-07

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.

The fire in Movenpick Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) Hotel, which was quickly brought under control, was the third blaze in less than a week in Dubai, reports Xinhua news agency."

Quote: "On Sunday, another minor fire occurred on a balcony at the Tiger Tower, causing the building to be evacuated. No injuries were reported. It followed a massive blaze across the road at Torch Tower early on Friday morning – the second time the 86-floor building has caught fire in two years."

Note: So three high-rise fires in four days in Dubai, plus some vehicle fires too...

http://www.thebigwobble.org/2017/08/at-astonishing-sea-temp-of-around-30.html

Quote: "If the sea was not particularly refreshing this weekend, it is no wonder: the surface sea temperature reached a staggering 30.1°C, according to the Physical Oceanography Research Group at the University of Malta. Coordinator Aldo Drago said that the surface sea temperature was high all around the Maltese Islands, reaching values well beyond 29°C and peaking up to 30.1°C in the coastal stretch of sea opposite Marsascala on Saturday in the early evening. Sea temperatures in shallower areas, ports, bays and beaches were even higher. The sea temperature measured at 3m depth in a yacht marina on the eastern coast reached close to 31°C. The highest sea temperatures are typically reached in early August each year, but are 2°C cooler than the recent values. Prof. Drago said that the mean sea surface temperature (SST) in coastal waters has been steadily increasing at a hefty average rate of close to 0.05°C per year since the late 1970s."

Here we go again with water using appliances 'mysteriously' bursting into flame, this time with de-humidifiers (which suck in air, condense the humidity out of it, and have it drain away as liquid water). This would have been surprising if it car-washes hadn't gone up in flames previously. Add it to the Weird Shit Burning list.

Three dead as storms strike across northern Italy
https://www.sott.net/article/358739-Three-dead-as-storms-strike-across-northern-Italy

Three people died in freak accidents Sunday as violent storms raged in northern Italy at the end of a prolonged heatwave, police said.

A 41-year-old Belgian man was among the dead after a tree fell on his tent at a Rainbow Gathering counter-cultural summer camp in the Tramontina valley in the northeastern region of Friuli.

Another tree, uprooted by powerful winds, fell on a festival at Marzia in the Dolomites, killing another man. A hiker was fatally struck by lightening on a path up a mountain in the same area, the Marmolada. [more]

This Is The Closest That The U.S. Has Been To Nuclear War Since The Cuban Missile Crisis
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/this-is-the-closest-that-the-u-s-has-been-to-nuclear-war-since-the-cuban-missile-crisis

Are we on the verge of a nuclear war with North Korea? It has now been confirmed that North Korea has successfully created a miniaturized nuclear warhead, and last month they tested a missile that can reach at least half of the continental United States. Since 1994 the U.S. has been trying to stop North Korea’s nuclear program, and every effort to do so has completely failed. Last September, the North Koreans detonated a nuclear device that was estimated to be in the 20 to 30 kiloton range, and back in January President Trump pledged to stop the North Koreans before they would ever have the capability to deliver such a weapon to U.S. cities. But now the North Koreans have already achieved that goal, and they plan to ultimately create an entire fleet of ICBMs capable of hitting every city in America.

Turns out my grandaughter and I got out of West Chester just in time. There's an underground electrical fire, Jonny - with 12 firemen "injured with non-life-threatening injuries" taken to local hospitals - and they're still not sure as of the recent breaking news story if it's under control. Several blocks were evacuated in the business district. The fire began in cables under the old courthouse.

I was out and about for the third day of letting my 11th grade grand-daughter drive me around, learning the intricacies of backing into parallel parking places (both directions), various traffic situations and parking lot maneuvering.

We witnessed some strange, angry behavior by others (unrelated to our being there to observe) during our journey around town. Abusive yelling in public, racism, sexism, inter-gender confrontations - tensions are high. It's warmer than was predicted around here. Very pleasant, warm during the day and cool at night (last night was in the low 60's).

Your grand-daughter's doing way better than I did with driving! I didn't learn how to drive and get a license until I was 24 years old. (I had car-phobia from the terrible accident that killed my mom when I was 12. My significant other of almost 30 years now is actually the person who got me past my car-phobia and helped me learn to drive.)
