Re: Hurricane Sandy
Some Complications that are happening as the days go by....
Prolonged power outages..... No gas....stations closed and the ones open are swamped.... Looks like the oil embargo days of the '70s and I was in the gas station business than so I know it very well..... Our phones are ringing off the hook with generator issues/breakdowns and inquirys.. Field men working day and night at sites all thruout our area... Broken portables coming in with people hoping for quick repairs but that is not realistic..... The Boy Scout Motto was "BE PREPARED" and this event shows how bad things can get....... I did see a lot of Power company trucks working on my way home so that is a good sign as the highway I ride has been totally out of power all the way to work.....A heck of a lot of busineses...closed for days.... The devastation at the Jersey Shore and in NY is really bad.... I don't see any of the bad stuff that happened in New Orleans after Katrina....so you might want to think about that a little.....and draw your own conclusions as the saying goes......I know I have..... |

Re: Hurricane Sandy
Just got my cable back tonight so it's the first time I've seen the massive devastation to N.j. and N.Y.my prayers go out to all of the families who lost loved ones as well as personal property!! After seeing a segment on NBC about he destruction in Staten Island I couldn't help to think about the Panza Family[ Bob and Jerry] I hope that they are safe and well and that they and all of the residents in SI get the help they need to restore their way of life!!!

Re: Hurricane Sandy
Just got Internet access back today at work...Phone service is still spotty.
we lost the roof on our main building there, and sustained major water damage. Still have my part of the building intact, got lucky there. No electricity or utilitys at home and the power co. says not till Sunday late! Fortunately I prepped the motorhome ,and we've been living in there since Tuesday. |

Katrina taught us (Mississippi Gulf Coast) to be thankful and appreciative for ALL that have come to help us recover and rebuild. We are 7 years out and still working our recovery. Be safe. Help one another. There are dangers long after the wind and rain (snow for some) are gone. Lots of help from down south headed north. We remember what you did for us. |
