The people in lower Manhattan are in pretty much the same situation, and there are many more of them. They too have no electricity, no water, no heat and no cell phone service.
Seriously? 3days later and you are already out of food? Did that storm sneak up on you? Oh wait, you are the guys who expect everything to be handled by Big Brother...
How many days warning did these people have?
We live in Cleveland and prepared for the storm.
When you are a grown up...you look out for yourself.
Time for some air drops?
“human waste is spilling out of the toilet”
Jeez, find a bucket, get some water, and pour it down the toilet.
To lazy to flush the tiolet with waste water? There’s friggin water everywhere.
We had at least a weeks worth of water and non-perishable food at the ready just in case we needed it.
It wasn't hard to do either with three days warning of impending doom...
I just wonder why Oblunder didn't just wave his hand over all of the destruction and make it go away? /s
Isn’t FEMA there yet?
Didn’t Obama personally take charge of all the relief efforts? He certainly took credit when it looked like it might be good. So this is his fault.
“Sandy-starved New Yorkers Dumpster Dive”.
The only thing missing........no 24/7 unhinged journalists demanding to know how Bush let this happen.
A telephone contractor friend just today told me that he pulled his crews out of these “projects’ because some of the residents were using their trucks for target practice.
He said he told the local telephone co to use their own people he wasn’t sending his crews back there
Funny how the journalists can get to them without a problem.
Obama said FEMA will respond within 15 minutes. Just call them.
Right?
What doesn’t kill us can make us stronger. Learn from your mistakes and next time do some prep.
They should thank God they live in New York, the center of the galaxy
They have a progressive Mayor. They live in Utopia.
Why are they bitching?
Screw ‘em
Unprepared-people ping!
Obviously they will look for the nearest Republican to blame for their suffering.
Why would they think that?
Oh, I forgot - they just "know" it.
Interesting that the people whose homes burned to the ground in nearby Breezy Point aren't complaining about people only caring about Manhattan.
Oddly, all the Russians in the Coney Island/Brighton Beach area don't seem to be scavenging for food or sleeping next to overflowing toilets.
I guess everyone cares about everywhere, except for the entitlement Queens in Brooklyn's 9th Ward.
It isn't fair that those Russians are willing to walk 50 blocks to buy groceries and carry them home.
It isn't fair that so many Russians work for a living that they know how to do simple plumbing repairs.
It is fair that those Irish people in Breezy Point walked three miles to sleep in a church basement.
It's because "those people" are so damned self-reliant that no one is willing to serve me breakfast in bed.
Hang in there folks, Obama’s sending the Gov’ment to help!
