Hurricane Sandy Victims: 'We are living like animals'

A few years back a big transformer blew in a storm in minus 36 here in BC. I was at the end of the line. It took 5 days for the power to be restored. The people in town got there's first and us rural property's were last.

We did not have all the destruction that area did and it still took 5 days. That area got ripped apart. I have seen the satelite footage of it. Its not going to get fixed in a blink on an eye. When you live in a high hazard danger zone sooner or later this stuff happens. You have to accept things for what they are or make a move out of harms way.

There is bound to be more of this over time as we go along here. People need to rethink where they live and not live. Make some changes. if it means starting over then you do just that. They still have their lives. Others lost theirs.

Not an easy situation.

if they put the powerlines underground, nobody would have lost power. Plus, they don't gotta cut down all the trees a long the roads. It's expensive to bury the powerlines though, so they don't do it. I don't know too much about it, maybe it's expensive because they don't have enough equipment to do it on a large scale.

I can't imagine though, it's less expensive when they have to replace all those transformers. Here the underground lines just have metal boxes on the ground, I've never seen anyone do maintenance on them in 20 years. They are built to last decades with virtually no maintenance.

Nobody strings fiber optic cables along telephone poles, why do it with power lines?

WHERE IS THE PRESIDENT NOW? NO NEED TO BE THERE SINCE HE GOT ELECTED RIGHT? YOU ALL KNOW IT WAS A SHOW TO GET ELECTED. SANDY WAS REALLY THE PERFECT STORM IN EVERY WAY.

They voted Obama, ask him

Except that the racist liberal media is praising Obama for failing.

The company across the street from mine is Aluma-Form. Same as when Katrina hit.They went from one shift and now running 24-7. A lot of damage. A lot of men,equipment and supplies.

YOU ARE ANIMALS.

YOU ARE SLAVES TO THE GOVERNMENT.

WISE THE FUCK UP AND PREPARE YOURSELVES NEXT TIME.

A lot of the wiring was underground but these areas flooded and the wiring was destroyed.

Broomberger will fix it all; in about 4 MONTHS !

Jew money is always there; in there pockets. All you have to do is get your hand in there, like the other 'dependent' flotsam !

Welcome to obamaville, no worries obama (vile deceiver) is monitoring the situation.

Tell someone who cares!

I'm not sure those transformers could have taken the water inundation that took place there.. and if they can't.. the fix would take even longer.

Tell it to your man-child Prez! You stood amongst the carnage, and voted him another 4 years. All because, "He understands how I feel!" Fools!

Indeed it's not cheap. But that's the way it is done here.

While playing golf....

Without power or heat, so they are now looking for clothes? Why didn't they keep themselves stocked up beforehand?

I am sure there were hundreds of thousands who were prepared before hand.

Some enjoy a handout, and if there are free clothes, it's time to go look!

Sorry they've got to deal with their government giving cash for peace to syrian 'rebels' before they can get help...

You sound a little retarded. So the president now has to get a hard hat and fix power lines. This is why America is failing.

It was done like that in Germany to protect the infrastructer on the front lines during the cold war.

Maybe he should because he sucks as a president

So why did he tell them he would cut all the red tape and see that they got help right away?

Lies to win the election.


Now he's off to Asia. After golf.

Raw: Staten Island Residents Line Up

Voters on Staten Island, N. Y. began lining up to vote at makeshift polling stations, just one week after Superstorm Sandy ravaged the New York City borough. (Nov. 6)

do you know why we don't do it? we don't do it because so much money that should be spent in upgrading infrastructure goes to paying for benefits for the obamaphone people and other assorted parasites.

this is no surprise when you think that most of our sewer systems are over 100 years old with no money for upgrades anywhere in sight.

the shit will hit the fan eventually, or it will back up in our toilet, and people will wonder where all the money went? it was pissed away for votes.

What the Hell. Why don't people pick things up and organize things a bit. Clean squaller is a bit better than getting your clothes off the ground, Sorry but the first pic shows me that people expect for others to do or them. all it takes is for one person to start the ball rolling. I realize they are probebly sick and tired. but to live in filth is crazy. I m not their so i couldnt even persume how they are coping, God I pray that they find thier own peace and comfort, cause it;s obvious, no one gonna do it for them

animals care for them self.

if there were no goverment most of them would not live at all anymore. fucktards.

obamamamamam is coming on thursday, all will be as it was before, ommmmm, ommmmm, ommmmmmm, you just have to believe.

/sarc

New York is hated by most of the country.
