Staten Island resident John Tabacco told Neil Cavuto this morning that Staten Island is still alone. ** There is no federal help. ** The feds just drive by with their clipboards. ** We just found three more dead people in the pile this morning.John Tabacco on the situation in Staten Island:
“This morning we’re distributing stuff here and we’re helping people dig out and we hear the sanitation guys scream out that there are bodies in the pile. Everybody jumps on the pile and starts pulling away debris. And, unfortunately, probably not reported right now, it was probably an hour and a half ago, certainly three more people deceased. God bless them… We keep seeing these huge convoys of FEMA and Janet Napolitano and Homeland Security driving by with clipboards writing things down. But there’s not a single soul in the street. We have volunteers and other people coming out giving water from their own homes. People need gloves. People need blankets and you can get to these homes. The question is, where is the government assistance?“

Please give what you can to the Salvation Army or Catholic Charities to help those in need.

Did I read that Staten Island is about 4 feet above sea level? If that is true why didn’t these people evacuate?
They were told for a week that the biggest baddest storm ever was headed right for them and it went right were they were told it would go.
FEMA SUCKS AND IS TOTALLY USELESS.
Did you lose everything? Is there a Catholic Charity helping out in your area that I can donate to help you out there? Pls let me know as I feel terrible for those who have lost so much. :(
