    Fire in Wharton?

    I'd almost put money on it being from a lightning strike. My front window faces that direction. I watched a storm build near atsion and head in that direction last evening. The outflow from the cloud tops was impressive.

    RAIN?

    I'd be surprised if I got more then 3/4" total. Everything skirted by either north or south. They'd very local though. A mile in either direction my friends got pounded.

    Harrisville Lake tree removal and grading

    Harrisville Lake tree removal and grading

    The writer does seem to be upset. The fact is those trees should have been taken out years ago. After years of neglect the DEP is now addressed the problem. As I mentioned before the failure of so many dams in the rain event in 2004 caused a state wide survey of why and how it can be...

    I spent the day on the the Banegat Bay right behind IBSP. On three occasions a SP circled and went up and down the park. At one time I we heard sirens from the beach on the other side. They are spending a lot on resources keeping people out this weekend.

    This whole thing is a positioning move for the next gubernatorial election. Why would Sweeney side with Prieto? He's likely going to be in the running. Let all the blame fall on Christie and Prieto. That would be the prudent move. Here we are in July talking politics like it's Halloween.

    He made it clear he would not sign a temporary budget. Why would one be submitted. There's plenty of blame for both sides. This is simply a political move that didn't need to be this bad.

    I do. There was nothing to vote on. But ruining thousands of people's holiday plans to prove a point is solely his decision. He could have easily approved a temporary budget for the weekend just like Delaware did.
