Those FEMA mobile homes went to Arkansas for storage because they were not built to Mississippi wind code requirements to be sent to the Coast. Waste of MILLIONS of our tax dollars and much needed shelter rotted away in Arkansas.

If anyone in NJ or New York needs a place to temporarly store their race car trailer or motorhome due to Sandy ,I have space for several at the old dealership lot in Allentown,PA.
Not a fenced lot but paved and one block from Police station.
PM me here if you need help.

Spent the last 48 hours moving heavy equipment in and out of disaster areas all over Long Island. Payloaders and excavators are at a premium. Cats , Komatsus , Kawasakis ----small to the largest are in and out of dealers 24 hrs a day. Some places are so inaccesible that we are breaking down the lowboys on major roadways and the operators are clearing their way to the jobsites sometimes over a mile away. The devastation on the south shore is incredible. If you have ever heard of Jones Beach, It will not accesible to the public in the summer of 2013. It is going to take billions to even begin to put Long Island and surrounding areas back together. AND TIME-----LOTS OF TIME !
