Hey Janine sorry to hear your going through this, you and the keets should head to LBI and stay with your Mom and Dad. Winds out of the southeast here would imagine it's the same there...

Take care of yourself and family

It just started raining in King of Prussia, the fire area should get some relief in about an hour.

I hope the rain that is coming is enough (and in the right places)!
Please report back as soon as this is over.
Phinzup! and stay safe.

Phin power and good thoughts to all those affected....

Yes, We are the Garden State.

I hope y'all get a more substantial rainfall than we got here. The major T-storm they called for was barely enough to wet the sidewalks.

If you're growing medical waste, maybe.

We haven't had substantial rains in over 21 days per Forest Fire Service. Area burning has not burned in over 30yrs and is mostly underbrush which is like fuel.
Just came home and received notice that the Animal Shelter may have to be evacuated. Anyone wishing to take in one of these precious guys, please call the Ocean County Animal Shelter at
Phone: (609) 978-0127
You don't have to adopt the animal, just give it fresh air for a few days !!

I sure wish I was close enough to take some of the critters and I know our animal rescue would be on the spot too....Prayers to all the people and critters in harms way!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We live in Mystic Island and we do have a spare bedroom as well as a comfy sofa (not to mention a beer meister with Blue Moon on tap!) We have friends on Shark Lane that we are keeping in touch with. Please be safe...our house is YOUR HOME if you need it!

Not so funny, especially right now

Prayers and phin power to NJ64 and my BEAUTIFUL home state. I grew up there and it was green and mountainous and lovely AND we had beaches besides. Don't p*** off the Jersey Girls here!
