    Sounds like New Orleans and Katrina. Where is all the media outrage over lack of assistance by the federal government?

    It has been three days… I’ve waited four months for FEMA decision. I know folks who have gone three weeks without electricity, with no federal help.

    My compassion runs mighty thin for people moaning about their inconvienences after 72 hours. No doubt there are real tragic victims from this storm, but the East Coast had five solid days to prepare for Hurricane Sandy.

    I am furious over this whole tradgey! Hard questions: since NY & NJ are at the water edge, why can’t ships or boats get supplies delivered like food, water, medicine? Why can helicopters drop supplies over this area like we do for other countries?????
    Why can buses come over from surrounding states to pick up folks & take them to their shelters? Come on people! !

    Those in charge can’t post distance-below-sea-level in our subway stations, so what hope is there for being able to buy a new car that, with a dual-purpose alternator/voltage regulator that could easily recharge enough slow-trickle batteries to, in an emergency, power a single-family house?
    Get used to the idea that this planet and its solar system periodically goes through extreme cycles of heat (as in the Age of Reptiles) and cold ( as in the Ice Age) as it moves through the galaxy, and stop blaming it all on greenhouse gasses.
    According to some of the people on Coast to Coast AM, if the tremendous amount of Methane temporarily imprisoned in sea bottoms and arctic tundra consists of Carbon Thirteen, moreover, this planet really is in for some bad stuff.
    Stock up on nonperishable food in durable containers, (oatmeal in 50 pound bags and store it in 5 gallon plastic buckets), get yourself a dc/ac power converter, hoard car batteries and find a way to rig up a way to recharge them with an automobile alternator/voltage regulator powered by your bicycle and maybe you’ll get lucky enough to find a cave when the biggest one finally comes (and goes?) and your descendants might even be able to avoid having to go back to learning how to make fire and chip tools and weapons out of rock
