What exactly is the fucking problem?
we on the Gulf Coast have went MONTHS and more without power...we didn't have ANYONE to BITCH AND MOAN TO...no fucking NYC powerboy.....no UNIONIZED whiney-bastards came here to help untangle THOUSANDS OF MILES OF LINES or chop up tree branches.
Ya think your shit smells better yankee?
LET OBAMA FIX IT FOR YOU.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27458681 I feel you! Here on the Spaced Coast of Florida,in 2004 we were hit by Hurricanne Charlie, no warning due to retarded forecasters, and lost power for 3 weeks at my house, in 96 degree weather with 90% humidity end of August.
I would not know if the media covered it at all, but we had giant live oaks blocking the roads, no sign of FEMA, Red Cross, no relief whatsoever. We got out our chain saws and opened the roads ourselves. We did not expect any relief.
As soon as power was restored, we got hit by Hurricane Frances, lost power again for another 3 weeks. I had waist deep water in my yard, finally got ahold of a generator, boiled water on my propane grill. etc, then got hit by Hurricane Jeanne.
None of us here expected help. We never got any either. We just did for ourselves. It was brutal
I feel awful for poeple dealing with cold weather and no electricity. Hot humid weather no electricity is no picnic either. Forget about sleep. Try hauling ten tons of oak branches during tropical weather.
My point is that nobody I knew expected government assistance. Why do these people in Sandy expect it?
