At least 3,000 people were ordered evacuated and 1,320 structures were threatened Tuesday night across Lacey and Barnegat Townships in Ocean County, New Jersey on Tuesday night, NBC10 reports on God’s wrath being inflicted on a Blue State. The fanboys will probably still say that even though this specific county voted 2-1 for convicted felon President Trump in 2024.
Nevertheless this is bad and horses may have been killed. “Someone posted on Facebook that they needed help evacuating their horses, so we took our horse trailer down and got the rest of them out,” said local Leslie Lord DiFrancia as she led a neighbor’s horses out of a farm on the edge of the flames in the Lacey Township area. “It’s nerve-wracking. These horses are our family.”
Considerably more ominous than the fates of some horses: Barnegat police announced that “the status of the power grid in the area of the Oyster Creek nuclear plant is unknown,” meaning that if a wildfire can do to that plant what a tsunami did to Fukushima Daichi in Japan – specifically destroy its backup pump infrastructure – then it’s gonna be a bad time in Jersey for the next 50 millennia.
