Just wanted to send a quick note to the old, new, and constant followers of the Coal Speaker. I am humbled. And probably wouldn’t be doing this and the HorrorReport.com is no one was paying attention.

If the storm can escape dry air attacking it now, warm waters in the Atlantic could help strengthen it quickly..
Where it is at now: 550 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, separated from the U.S. by a week’s time..
Perhaps there is a sign somewhere in here
Bank of America..
Layoffs will soon begin. 3,500 going to lose their jobs..
And how does God respond? Lightning. Indeed.
Tremendously sad story..
