“Media bigger fail.”
News 12 New Jersey was very blunt about some catastrophic scenarios; one guy said “80% of NJ will lose powere”. I don’t know what percentage actually lost power, and I know ours was turned off deliberately (and therefore we got it back withing a few days), but that guy’s prediction made me prepare for a long-term problem instead of a short-term one.
Long past time for Republicans to go after Obama over this failure and with his buddy Bloomberg endorsing him, they can roast the two of them over the marathon.
