[Calpernia]

How dry I am, how dry I am
Nobody knows, how dry I am.

[Calpernia]

Psst. Did you know it's raining?

[Calpernia]

How's that new indoor pool coming?

[Calpernia]

Are you wet yet?

[Calpernia]

It's raining, it's pouring, the ole man is snoring!

[Calpernia]

Is also Tired of Rain.

[Calpernia]

You are being called back to duty!

[elli1]

Well, at least it ain't snow.

[Calpernia]

Yeah. Six feet of water flooding homes and the waters are still raising aint that bad.

the National Guard distributed 3,000 sandbags to help keep the rising Passaic River at bay

Just 3000? That's not many, unless you're filling them....

[Cagey]

Only thirty three days and I'm setting sail.

[Calpernia]

How does the Bay look? Water high?

[Calpernia]

Over here!

[Coleus]

: )

[Cagey]

Well, the bay isn't bad at this end because the winds have been from the Northeast which pushes the water south of here so I imagine Toms River, Forked River and the western shore of the Barnegat may have problems.

A friend in the Coast Guard was telling me that there were 15 foot seas yesterday and today. I can't recall this much wind and rain for such a long period.

That's towards my parents.

I've not seen anything about evacuations with this new system coming in, have one?

LOL! I'm tired of lugging sopping beach towels! But think of the exercise I'm getting! There is a little brook in back of us and I can hear it, but it has never overflowed ---- yet!
