  • The sinkhole story from Florida has a tragic story

    The sinkhole story from Florida has a tragic story

    I heard someone making jokes today about the sinkhole that swallowed Jeff Bush in his bedroom in Seffner, Florida.. The story is disturbing, but someone making light of a horrid situation like this may be worse..

    Sinkhole are a big story around the world. The media typically pays little attention to them, but they happen .. a lot. And increasingly, as some websites have reported, there seems to be an altogether weakening of the earth’s crust below us.

    This sinkhole situation in Florida isn’t the typical one.. this time, someone most likely died in the event. And also this time, as opposed to the typical reporting we get, the media is paying attention and giving us more information than usual. Maybe for ratings? Maybe because there is a human tragedy? Maybe because, after all the ignorance to the earth’s changes, people are finally becoming rattled by the shaky ground beneath them..

    A story on CNN tonight details a sad interview with the victim’s brother, Jeremy Bush.. He said he was able to hear his brother screaming before he was gone. Four other people, including a 2-year-old child, escape from the home in Florida .. but Jeff Bush could not. He was peacefully in is bedroom when the ground gave out..

    Rescuers have not gone into the house yet, according to CNN, because the situation is too dangerous.. As a matter of fact, reporting late tonight indicates that the sinkhole is spreading and the entire house is in dangerous of being swallowed up by it..

    We will continue to watch this story as it develops. It’s what we do here.
    But also what we do in situations like this, is pray and hope for some type of light to be seen  in the darkness.. to hope for good over bad.. to hope that this man is either alive, or if not, has peacefully gone to the next realm, whatever that realm may be..

    Developing story..

  • A tale of true horror in Florida

    A tale of true horror in Florida

    This is a follow up to this morning’s post about the sinkhole that swallowed up a man in his bedroom in Florida.. This DAILY MAIL story paints the human side of this horror.. it details the desperate attempt to save the man at the wrong place and time, and describes that he was heard screaming as the earth swallowed him..

    Horribly disturbing and truly sad.. Prayers can only be with the family and friends in this circumstance..

  • Arizona boom

    Arizona boom

    If it is not sinkholes its booms.. A loud boom (some report more than one) was heard in Arizona.. Law enforcement has no answers.. Media has no comments from officials saying they know where it was from or what it was..

    Just more examples of these noises happening all throughout the United States..

    Incidentally, Linda Howe was on Coast to Coast AM last night with someone who believes he has answers to the nationwide boom question: Weapons testing.
    No comment from me on the veracity of that belief.. But I know the noises are all over–even close to Horror Report home base as I reported a few days ago, when a loud boom shook several neighborhoods on Northern Schuylkill County, PA..

  • Sinkhole in Florida swallows man in his bedroom

    Sinkhole in Florida swallows man in his bedroom

    This story is true.. So often I’m accused of embellishing or purely making things up..

    Here is the CNN article you can read on the developing sinkhole ..A quote from the article for the permanent record:

    (CNN) – A 36-year-old man disappeared Thursday night when a sinkhole opened up under his bedroom in Florida, swallowing him as his brother tried to rescue him, authorities said.

    Right after the ground started to give way in his home in Brandon, his brother frantically tried to keep him from sinking into the hole, an emergency official said.

    The first deputy on the scene pulled the victim’s brother from the edge of the growing chasm, said Jessica Damico, a spokeswoman for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue.

    Authorities have been unable to contact the man as the sinkhole expanded. The house was deemed unsafe for rescuers, Damico said.

    Late Thursday night, the hole was about 100 feet wide and still growing, authorities said.

    Area homes have been evacuated.


    The AP has an alternate article on the sinkhole describing the victim as 34, not 36..

    A horse of course .. In the US of course

    Some people have denied the chances of horse meat actively being eaten in the United States.
    Maybe you thought that way too.. Or still do. Until you read this New York Times article about how horse meat does travel through the US.. The Times reports:

    As concerns over horse meat infiltrating products labeled ground beef grows among American consumers, an advocacy group released shipping documents showing that horse meat does pass through at least one United States port on its way from slaughterhouses in Mexico to destinations in Europe.

    How about that can of meat.. Or that schoo lunch.. Or the mystery meat you assumed was cow. Maybe the ney is growing louder for you now..
