Police were alerted to reports of a chemical-like odor near the temple's 'hojo', or abbott's quarters. Police say around 50 visitors were in the area at the time, and 24 reported sore throats and other health issues. Officials say there were no herbicides or other chemicals in use."

Quote: "The series of earthquakes came after a collapse of a crater floor of Pu'u 'O'o, which is a volcanic cone in the eastern rift zone of the Kilauea Volcano. Since that collapse, about 250 earthquakes were reported in the area into Tuesday evening, according to a Hawaiian Volcano Observatory status report. The tremors have been going on for days now, jarring residents, who've been reporting nearly constant ground vibrations in some areas. 'It has now become unnerving,' Carol Shepard, a resident, told CNN affiliate KHON. She said the flurry of earthquakes seemed to happen every minute. 'It'd be like the house would shake. It'd be like somebody that weighs 300 pounds came in my living room, and jumped up and down,' she said. Residents in the area have also reported cracks emerging on roads."
Quote: "CBS Honolulu affiliate KGMB-TV reported lava was shooting some 100 feet in the air and nearing several homes. Fire officials detected extremely high levels of dangerous sulfur dioxide in the air, the stations said."

Quote: "A series of earthquakes rippled through a volcano-stricken island of Hawaii, where residents had already fled what one called a 'curtain of fire'. Earthquakes have shaken the archipelago's Big Island for days, setting off lava flows and prompting warnings from authorities. A 6.9 magnitude quake followed closely after a 5.8 magnitude event in the afternoon, both occurring near a town whose residents already faced mandatory evacuations due to bubbling lava."
Quote: "Governor David Ige declared a state of emergency, noting that the lava flow was expected to continue advancing."
Quote: "Authorities say a magnitude-6.9 earthquake that hit Hawaii's Big Island is the largest to strike in more than four decades. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center Director Chip McCreery says a magnitude-7.5 earthquake rocked the island in 1975. Magnitude-6.7 earthquakes hit in 1983 and 2006."

Quote: "A swarm of earthquakes shook southern El Salvador on Sunday, damaging nearly 200 homes and touching off small landslides, but there were no reports of serious injuries or deaths. The U.S. Geological Survey said at least nine quakes of magnitude 4.3 or greater struck the region beginning in the morning, including three of magnitude 5.2 to 5.6. Civil defense director Jorge Melendez said at a news conference that 11 homes were destroyed and considerable damage was done to 180 more."
Quote: "Melendez said one of the quakes unleashed landslides on a highway leading to Playa El Cuco, one of the most visited tourist beaches in the area. USGS geophysicist Don Blakeman said the earlier quakes were likely foreshocks to the magnitude 5.6 event, which hit just after 1 p.m. local time. Its epicenter was located offshore in the Pacific, about 8 miles (12 kilometers) from the town of Intipuca, at a depth of 6 miles (10 kilometers)."

2018-05-09 - Water sickening and killing people in and around Kratié (Cambodia):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=HZ-20180511-63044-KHM
http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/eighty-taken-ill-suspected-water-poisoning-mkiri
Quote: "At least 80 people in Preh and Roneg villages in Mondulkiri province's Sre Chhouk commune suffered vomiting, dizziness and weakness due to suspected poisonous water from a stream they were using. The illnesses come after 13 people died and more than 130 people sent to hospital due to drinking water contaminated with poisonous substances in Kratie over the past few weeks. Lor Sokha, Mondulkiri province police chief, told the media that technical officers initially suspected the poisoning occurred after villagers drank water from Preah river and others drank rain water which had combined with water from the river. However, the cause has not yet been determined as authorities are waiting for the results of an analysis of the water and food they had consumed."
Quote: "He said on Wednesday that he spoke to the victims and they said they began to find it difficult to breathe, had stomachaches and vomited after drinking both the water from the river and rainwater from the roofs of their houses."
Note: So not just river water but also rainwater from the roofs of homes. Hydrogen sulfide is water soluble, it's getting into the atmosphere - thus all the rotten egg odor events around the world - and so rain from the sky will sometimes be poisonous. If the rain is poisonous enough, it could kill you just by falling on your head. Contaminated rainwater will also flow downhill to streams, rivers, ponds, lakes and seas/oceans and contaminate the water in them too. in 2015, 41 children and some animals mysteriously died after rainfall in Papua (Indonesia), mentioned in the 2015-11-24 update. Last year, a bunch of people died in Australia from 'thunderstorm asthma' after rain storms there too. Every time you jump in a body of water or let water get on your head, you're betting that that water has not been contaminated. Lose that bet, as many already have, and you are apt to die. Municipal water supplies in major cities are likeliest to be safest, but there are no guarantees...
2018-05-09 - Unknown odor at building sends 12 people to the hospital, then later 2 more have convulsions too, in coastal Auckland (New Sealand):

http://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/103816013/investigations-continue-at-auckland-highrise-after-mystery-gas-leak-injured-24-people
Quote: "Fire and Emergency say they don't know what caused the unknown smell in an Auckland office building this morning - but the building is now safe. Emergency crews were called to Augusta House on the corner of Victoria Street West and Elliot Street at 9.30am after an unusual smell was noticed on the eighth floor. Twelve people were taken to hospital and another 100 assessed after being exposed to the smell which caused nausea, headaches and vomiting."
Quote: "'It was a weird sort of organic smell. To be honest, I would describe it as chicken manure, but it was a sickly, sweet musty odour.'"
Quote: "Two more people have been affected by a mystery gas leak at an Auckland high-rise, nine hours after it hospitalised 12 people on Thursday morning. A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said firefighters had been called to Augusta House in Auckland's CBD just before 6pm. Firefighters had had reports of two people having convulsions, the spokesman said."
Quote: "Woon said fire crews ran gas detectors throughout the building and did not come up with anything. The New Zealand Defence Force's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) – the bomb squad – was then called in to test the scene. 'We couldn't find anything that triggered our devices...and a preliminary search by them hasn't found anything either,' Woon said."
Note: They aren't using H2S detectors. Hydrogen sulfide won't show up on other types of detectors. And hydrogen sulfide at higher concentrations is described by some people as 'sickly sweet' or 'flowery'. The speed with which these people sickened, the symptoms, and the fact that this is a coastal city - they probably got hit by some fairly concentrated poisonous hydrogen sulfide, probably pulled into the building via the building's HVAC system. Nobody really knows what the long-term effects of that are (for people who survive), but they can't be good...

The diver, who was in his 30s, called 911 while off the coast of La Jolla Shores around 12:15 p.m. and said he was having a seizure, said fire spokeswoman Mónica Muñoz. Lifeguards used their personal water craft to get out to the man, who was unconscious and having a seizure when they found him.

Quote: "A fairly large explosion in Hawaii’s erupting Kilauea volcano on Wednesday is likely the first of a series of larger explosions that could begin to throw rocks and ash from the crater, the U.S. Geological Survey said."
Quote: "So far, the volcano's most dramatic activity has been slow-moving lava leaks. However, scientists monitoring the volcano have been concerned about the possibility it could switch to a more explosive stage since May 2. That's when the lava lake at the crater of Kilauea, called Halea'uma'u, began retreating. A similar phenomenon preceded the volcano's last explosive period in 1924 as well."

'We’re looking at basically filling the wells with water,' he said, to prevent an unabated gas release."

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/wait-the-ozone-layer-is-still-declining1/
http://www.newsweek.com/ozone-healing-depletion-800173
Quote: "The ozone layer high above Antarctica might be mending nicely, but the rest of the world tells a different story. A long-term overview of satellite data shows that ozone levels are actually dropping in the lower stratosphere: the layer of the atmosphere about 10 to 20 kilometres above Earth's surface."
Quote: "While the hole over Antarctica has been closing, the protective ozone is thinning at the lower latitudes, where the sunlight is stronger and billions of people live..."
Quote: "But, for reasons as yet unknown, ozone seems to be disappearing from some parts of the lower stratosphere, a study published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics has found. The area affected stretches from latitude 60N—a line which traces the globe through Canada and Russia—all the way down to 60S, which sits above Antarctica."
Note: From the full hypothesis: "Though it is a heavier-than-air gas, hydrogen sulfide is nevertheless being blown up into the upper atmosphere sometimes, where it is reacting away both the ozone layer and hydroxyl radicals. The loss of the ozone layer will probably eventually result in lethal levels of UV radiation baking the surface of the planet."
I wrote that more than six years ago, back when everyone except me THOUGHT the ozone layer was healing. Hydroxyl radicals are also being depleted in the atmosphere, mentioned in the 2018-04-27 update. Nobody but me was even looking at the loss of hydroxyl radicals in the atmosphere as a problem or discussing it six years ago. So those are two extremely specific predictions that I made more than six years ago, both planetary-scale in effect, one completely contrary to the 'scientific consensus' of the day. Prediction after prediction, everything I have said is being verified. And now let's see how long it takes for them to put the REST of the clues together, because they're still waaaaaaay behind in understanding what's going on with this planet, even though when you get right down to it, what's happening is actually pretty simple: we're experiencing a repeat of the Permian-Triassic extinction event, also called the 'Great Dying'...

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/lava-from-hawaii-volcano-nears-an-evacuation-route-warning-issued-on-gas-exposure/ar-AAxhvBN
Quote: "Hawaii residents are facing the highest volcanic activity alert after officials warned Tuesday that the Big Island's Kilauea volcano is growing more explosive -- as a massive ash cloud grows in the sky. The U.S. Geological Survery upgraded its previous volcano warning from 'orange' to 'red,'" signifying that an 'eruption is forecasted to be imminent with significant emission of ash into the atmosphere likely,' or that an eruption is already underway. 'At any time, activity may become more explosive, increasing the intensity of ash production and producing ballistic projectiles near the vent,' local officials told Fox News amid the alert, which was issued just before 1:30 p.m. local time."
Quote: "Lava from one of the world’s most active volcanoes snaked closer to the Big Island’s Highway 137 — coming within a mile and a half Monday night to choking off one of the last remaining evacuation routes for residents in lower Puna, officials said. Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey said that red-and-orange lava continues to flow from fissure 17, but has slowed to about two-tenths of a mile in the past six hours. The situation is considered extremely dangerous."

Quote: "Strong earthquakes within the summit of Kilauea Volcano continue in response to ongoing deflation and lava column drop. As of the afternoon of May 16, the floor of Kilauea caldera has dropped approximately 3 feet (90 cm). This movement is stressing faults around the caldera of Kilauea, causing them to move and resulting in strong earthquakes of up to magnitude 4.4 thus far. Employees at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and nearby residents are reporting frequent ground shaking and damage to roads and buildings. Hawaii County Police reports cracks across Highway 11 between mile markers 28 and 29."

Quote: "Lava creeping across roadways destroyed four homes and left dozens of others in the shadow of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano isolated Saturday, forcing more residents to plan for a possible evacuation. Hawaii County Civil Defense said a fissure near the neighborhood of Lanipuna Gardens has been continuously erupting, releasing a slow-moving lava flow. If that lava threatens a nearby highway, more people will be told to prepare for voluntary evacuation. On Friday, fast-moving lava crossed a road and isolated about 40 homes in a rural subdivision, forcing at least four people to be evacuated by county and National Guard helicopters. The wide lava flow was 'very active' Saturday morning and advancing at rates of up to 300 yards (274 meters) per hour, scientists from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said."

Quote: "After destroying dozens of houses, lava from the Kilauea volcano has now reached the ocean, presenting a new health threat to Hawaii residents. Civil defense authorities on Hawaii posted a warning to stay clear of any lava stream that is flowing into the ocean. When the super hot lava hits the cooler sea water, it produces what is called 'laze,' hydrochloric acid steam that pours into the air along with fine particles of glass."
Quote: "Firefighters in Hawaii said a man suffered a serious injury to his leg when he was hit with lava spatter from the erupting Kilauea volcano. Fire officials said the man was on his third floor balcony of his home on Noni Farms Road when he was hit in the shin, shattering the bottom part of his leg. Spatter can weigh as much as a refrigerator, and even smaller pieces can be deadly."

2018-05-21 - Unknown gas odor evacuates government building in Marshall (Minnesota):
http://www.marshallindependent.com/news/local-news/2018/05/lyon-county-gov-center-evacuated-due-to-mystery-odor/
Quote: "The Lyon County Government Center and Law Enforcement Center were evacuated Monday afternoon after employees smelled an intense bad odor. County employees and law enforcement officers waited outside for around an hour while the Marshall Fire Department, maintenance workers and county officials did a walkthrough of the buildings. However, firefighters were not able to detect gas in the buildings, said Marshall Fire Chief Quentin Brunsvold. 'We don’t know what happened,' Brunsvold said."
Quote: "It’s possible the odor came from outside, he said. 'We had reports of people smelling it outside the building.'"
Quote: "'All three levels (of the Government Center) were giving a smell of gas,' said Stomberg. Stomberg said the odor seemed to reach many parts of the building, including the county administrator’s office on the second floor, all at once. 'It made some of us dizzy.'"
Note: Smelled like rotten eggs, made people dizzy, wasn't picked up by natural gas detectors, came from outdoors - probably just some poison gas blowing by and getting sucked into the building via the HVAC system. Nothing to worry about unless you're one of those don't-wanna-die kind of people in which case the Earth turning into a big gas chamber and randomly gassing people might be of some concern...

Quote: "Milton Middle School will be dismissing early today because some student became ill after a natural gas smell."
Quote: "No evidence of a natural gas leak was found inside Milton Middle School, despite a strong odor earlier Monday that closed the school earlier and made some students sick. The gas company tested inside and around the building and found no detectable leak. As a result, school will open Tuesday and be closely monitored. Investigators are not certain what caused the smell, which left some students with headaches and upset stomachs."
Note: Rotten egg odor, no trace of natural gas found, people sickened - probably just some poison gas blowing by here too...

2018-05-23 - Rotting seaweed producing hydrogen sulfide around coastal Warnbro Sound (Australia):
http://www.communitynews.com.au/weekend-courier/news/rotting-seaweed-on-warnbro-sound-foreshore-poses-no-health-risks-says-city-of-rockingham/
Quote: "'Hydrogen sulphide can be smelled at very low levels, well below the level where it causes any health effects, so simply smelling it is not a health issue. Based on the volume of wrack usually present in Warnbro Sound, the maximum level of hydrogen sulphide generated is extremely unlikely to pose any risk to human health.'"
Quote: "However, the spokesman said these odours were a short term problem which resolve quickly and were not detrimental to health."
Note: Not true: nobody knows what the long term effects are to human health of smelling even small quantities of hydrogen sulfide regularly. Also, just because they're measuring low concentrations doesn't mean a whole lot, since it's a heavier-than-air gas which will flow to - and then concentrate in - low-lying areas. Might it concentrate enough to create lethal clouds of gas? It doesn't take much to be lethal; 1 part per 1000 can kill a person with one breath. I certainly wouldn't rule out the possibility that it could concentrate to 0.1% hydrogen sulfide levels in low-lying areas when there's no wind and then blow onward at concentrated levels with the wind...

http://www.12newsnow.com/article/news/local/port-arthur-school-district-says-students-in-no-danger-after-passing-ship-releases-noxious-odor/502-558257994
Quote: "Two students at a high school campus near the Lamar State College Port Arthur campus were transported to a local hospital after some sort of noxious odor was released from a passing ship on the Intracoastal Waterway."
Note: So what ship was it, who is the owner or responsible party, and what was the chemical that was released? You know, in case the doctors treating the students need to know what they're dealing with, or the parents want to file a lawsuit. I notice they don't mention any of that, so they're probably *assuming* the unknown chemical came from an unknown ship. Or maybe it simply came from the ocean right there. Unless they specify the ship and responsible party and the chemical then this looks either like an assumption based on ignorance (incompetence) or a cover story (deception). Either way, incompetent or deceptive, it's hard to take their explanation seriously unless they provide much more information. All we can know for SURE is that an unknown noxious odor hit this school, right on the coast, and sent two students to the hospital...

Quote: "Lava from Hawaii’s erupting Kilauea volcano is edging closer to a geothermal plant, escalating fears of a potentially lethal and toxic hydrogen sulfide explosion."
Quote: "A series of summit explosions on Saturday spewed ash from Kilauea volcano up to 11,000ft and dusted communities to the south-west, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said. The three explosions, which began around 12.42am, came during the fourth week of what geologists rank as one of the biggest eruption cycles from the Big Island volcano in a century."
Quote: "The number of houses and other structures destroyed by lava flows in the island’s lower Puna district leapt to 82 on Friday, from a previous count of 50 after fissures reactivated in Leilani Estates this week. Another lava flow near the rural housing development slowed and was 150 yards from Pohoiki Road where there are dozens more homes, the observatory said."

http://www.ktvz.com/news/osu-noaa-document-methane-seeps-off-oregon-coast/747653438
http://phys.org/news/2018-05-document-widespread-methane-seeps-oregon.html
Quote: "Since the first evidence of underwater methane was discovered in the late 1980s, only about 100 'seep sites' had been identified along the Northwest coast through 2015. They often were discovered by accident, when fishermen would spot anomalies on their fish-finders that turned out to be acoustic reflections of the bubbling methane gas. But over the past two years the scientists – aided by new sonar technology on the Exploration Vessel (E/V) Nautilus, owned and operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust – have purposefully gone seeking evidence of underwater methane and have expanded the total number of offshore seep emission sites to a whopping 1,000 locations."
