Crisis in New York, New Jersey *Smaller Nor'easter Possible!!!*

power outages,gas crisis, floods, fires, falling trees, power lines, other debris=DOOM!
fire in breezy point, ny destroyed 111 homes and was described by one onlooker as resembling a war zone

Worse yet....winter is coming and all those who have no homes or water soaked and broken homes will need shelter and all the necessities of life for many months to come.

Feds should be taking closed military bases out of mothballs and allowing people to live in the base housing.

The larger ones have everything the storm refugees would need such as a big kitchen and cafeteria, laundry facilities, store and space for schools.

Better that than to be homeless in the northeast in the middle of winter.

Most of the displaced will be unemployed because the businesses they worked for are also a wreck so they could have base jobs.

Would go a long way to helping people out even if they have to leave the area for a while.

now there is another storm on its way but its too early to tell where its going and hopefully this winter isnt like the winter from 2 years ago. we had snow pretty much every week i made a ton of cash but it hurt the budgets of towns and cities

In nyc, its horrible we have very limited cell connection, no electricity ,no heat, no hot water since monday, martial law after 6pm, anyone outside gets a summons, pitch black starting at 6pm, theres people coming from the projects robbing working class/middle class towns, an outside atm was blown up, theres no gas, no cash, no ice, no D batteries or any batteries,no candles, no milk or eggs.. Not sure if this post will go through, going to sleep daylight cant come soon enough

And Obama wasn't prepared. Why weren't all the relief supplies to handle this not already moving toward NY? Hurricanes are the President's job as we all know. This one was unprepared.

dont worry he hugged someone

CAN SOMEONE WITH SOME JUICE HERE GET THESE PEOPLE SOME HELP OR WHAT?


All the stories are the same....they can only hide all this for so long....

HA! and this surprises you? or maybe it doesn't. But you are right..........they knew Sandy was coming.

they are not famous or elite so no one cares, front page of new york page showed new york knicks amare stoudmire's car underwater even though there is a gas crisis, travel crisis, people trapped in rockaways, hoboken,etc

I can't even imagine what a nightmare that must be. Beyond any words I'm sure. Keep us posted, and rest well tonight if you can.

They spent days warning everyone, but never thought to have massive amounts of help all ready to go when it was over.
The help they're getting seems to be an afterthought almost.

There were WARNINGS for DAYS and DAYS that it would be like this. It's a little hard to get help in, with gas shortages, wreckage and destruction, people have to prepared to take care of themselves in disasters for AT LEAST 3 days, more safely would be 7-10 days.

CANNOT depend on the government to be there immediately. They just cannot mobilize this quickly. We've seen it over and over.
