Event Update For 2017-08-31

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.

Quote: "Police said the trio got trapped inside the centrally locked car and could not escape when the fire engulfed their vehicle."

Note: Warned about that problem many dozens of times. Some of these car fires will disable your locks, seatbelts, doors and windows, so if you don't have something with which to cut seatbelts and break windows then that's it for you. And even if you DO have the tools necessary, you may have less than a minute before lack of oxygen knocks you unconscious, so you have to act fast...

Quote: "More than 48,000 homes have been destroyed by the storm and the estimated cost of damage is $160 billion..."

Quote: "The morgue in the fourth-largest city in the U.S. is near capacity, prompting officials to ask for a refrigerated tractor-trailer to handle any overflow. The bodies — storm-related or not — have accumulated over the past several days as Harvey's floodwaters swallowed the city, essentially closing down all businesses, including funeral homes. Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences spokeswoman Tricia Bentley said Thursday the morgue has 175 bodies. Capacity is 200."

Quote: "The flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey has left thousands homeless in the greater Houston area but there also is rising concern about a biological lab in Galveston that houses deadly diseases, notes Joe Lauria."

Quote: "While mosquitoes aren't currently a concern for Persse, they will be in a major one very soon. 'In the short term I'm not too worried about the mosquitoes 'cause all this rain is gonna wash out all the breeding sites for the mosquitoes,' he said. 'But that'll be only about 10 to 14 days, and then we're gonna have an explosion of mosquitoes 'cause there's so much standing water which is all breeding sites.'"

Note: Yikes, hadn't even thought about skeeters, or flooded bio-labs full of deadly diseases...

http://www.sacbee.com/news/nation-world/article170518357.html
http://www.startribune.com/2-dead-as-mexico-city-bandits-fight-over-right-to-rob-bus/442393423/

Quote: "Armed thieves frequently board buses to rob passengers in Mexico City and its suburbs. But the robberies hit a new high — or low — when three began to work over the same bus simultaneously and got into a gun fight among themselves. Two young men were robbing passengers in the back of the bus when they noticed an older thief robbing those up front. They opened fire on each other as horrified passengers watched."

Note: Robbery dibs!
