Event Update For 2018-10-17

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.

2018-10-17 - Lake Travis spewing hydrogen sulfide after flood gates opened in Austin (Texas):

Quote: "Due to all of the flooding across the Highland Lakes region, four flood gates have been opened at Mansfield Dam. Since those flood gates were opened, a strong odor has been coming from the dam. According to officials with the Lower Colorado River Authority, the smell is from naturally occurring hydrogen sulfide gas from water being released through the dam."

Quote: "LCRA said they have monitors on-site, and the levels being released are no danger to public health."

Note: No danger unless it concentrates in low-lying areas, like ditches or basements or valleys or along rivers or streams or lakes, then it could be a danger, and it will tend to do that since it's a heavier-than-air gas...

2018-10-17 - Cracks open in the ground and spew fire in Kurnool (India):

http://tlarremore.wordpress.com/2018/10/17/signs-and-wonders-or-natural-hazard-flaming-methane-discoveries-in-cracks-and-holes/

Quote: "Panic spread among people in Marrikunta Thanda, a hilly area in Owk mandal of Kurnool district on Saturday as fire errupted from crack that developed on earth. Cracks in ground were seen up to a depth of about 200 metres and flames were seen spreading from the gaps. An electric pole was melted due to heat generated in the earth. The news spread in the surrounding villages and people in large numbers flocked to witness the fire from earth at the hamlet."

Note: Similar to that hole in the ground last month that spewed flames for half an hour at 4:15 AM in Midway (Arkansas), mentioned in the 2018-09-17 update. Also somewhat similar to the methane explosions blowing gigantic craters in the ground in Siberia...

We haven’t had an October like this in a very long time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down another 327 points on Thursday, and overall the Dow is now down close to 1,500 points from the peak of the market. Unlike much of the rest of the world, it is still too early to say that the U.S. is facing a new “financial crisis”, but if stocks continue to plunge like this one won’t be too far away. And as you will see below, many believe that what we have seen so far is just the start of a huge wave of selling. Of course it would be extremely convenient for Democrats if stocks did crash, because it would give them a much better chance of doing well in the midterm elections. This is the most heated midterm election season that I can ever remember, and what U.S. voters choose to do at the polls in November is going to have very serious implications for the immediate future of our country.

Rain and early season record snowfall delay North Dakota harvests
https://www.sott.net/article/398650-Rain-and-early-season-record-snowfall-delay-North-Dakota-harvests

It started as rain shortly before midnight on October 10, but within a few hours the wet stuff changed to the white stuff and fell much of the day. This is according to Dan Riddle, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service (NWS) office in Grand Forks.

The snow was a concern for farmers after days of periodic rain had already slowed down picking. According to a report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), at the end of the week prior to the snow only eight percent of the state's corn had been harvested and 34 percent of soybeans. Forty-five percent of the state's sugar beets had been harvested. [more]

With some help from a weak El Niño event, atmospheric factors are aligning for a mostly mild winter across the United States in 2018-19, according to the seasonal outlook issued by NOAA on Thursday. The biggest area of uncertainty is the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. In that region, NOAA is calling for equal odds of warmer- or cooler-than-average conditions (effectively a coin toss). Other seasonal forecast groups are in stark disagreement on what's in store for the eastern U.S. [more]

During the maneuver, the airplane's wings can be seen flexing up and down as they're buffeted by the storm's powerful gusts.

Officials: 35 lives, $3 billion in timber lost to Michael

Trees brought down by Hurricane Michael's ferocious winds took a heavy toll on life, property and the timber industry in the heavily forested Florida Panhandle, where $3 billion in timber was lost, authorities said Friday.

A firefighter became the latest death attributed to the storm when he was killed by a falling tree while helping clear debris with family members more than a week after Michael blew ashore with 255 mph (410 kph) winds.

Fire coordinator Brad Price, 49, of Wewahitchka was on his tractor when he was killed Thursday, the Gulf County Sheriff's Office said on its official Facebook page. [more]

1929 Waterfall Crash In Real-Time

The age of artificial intelligence is ending badly. Go figure. The fact that Skynet is losing all control over the casino has been re-cast as a bullish factor and reason for complacency. Because what else could it be with eight weeks left to bonus payout?

We are watching the casino stair-step lower towards a 1929-style crash while industry-captured dunces stand around circle jerking each continuously. With each lesser rally, they celebrate the usual triumph of bullshit over reality. Which takes the form of conning sheeple into believing something they shouldn't believe. In other words tightening the noose for the bungee jump off the cliff.

In summary, this is all very "bullish", if you like recession stocks "leading" the rally [more]

A hunter facing a life-or-death situation was saved by a chance encounter with a cross country team Wednesday after being lost in the wilderness of New Mexico for 36 hours without food or shelter, and enduring freezing temperatures.

Ronnie Duran, 65, was last seen hunting near the La Paloma Trail in the Jemez Mountains on Tuesday. He had traveled 10 miles to the Vallecitos area where the Cuba High School Cross Country team was training.

Duran was suffering from a sprained ankle and was disoriented when he was found. His family expressed thanks to all involved. [more]
