Seriously, isn't this all just a tad overblown and over-hyped by the media? (/sarcasm)
Do you hear this, GeronL? Do you really think it's such a giggling joke now? Hello?! Is this thing on??
Obama’s Katrina... why didn’t he have all those infrastructures under New York city up graded for a disaster like this with the stimulus money.
Thoughts & prayers from the West Coast..
Just read a tweet that NYU hospital evacuated, backup generators failed. The twitter page linked below has some good info re: Sandy.

Saw it... what ? about 4 or 5 big transformers going up ?
They said it turned into a cold air feed system now.
Too true. Sadly, GeronL (the joker-degrader) is from my own state of Texas.
Not all Texans are as cruel hearted. We've got all kinds of assistance on the way from our state.
Wow... what a photo! Incredible...
Waste of time. People like the “jokester” are sociopaths. They have no understanding how normal people with souls think. Just like jerks using a disaster like this to make political points. Disgusting behavior.
Sandy claims ‘Bounty’ off North Carolina
http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/29/us/sandy-bounty-ship/index.html?hpt=hp_c2
Three people washed off their crippled ship and engulfed by Atlantic waters roiled by Hurricane Sandy scrambled for help on Monday, the U.S. Coast Guard said, but only one of them made it to safety.
When the HMS Bounty’s crew members realized their lives were in danger off the North Carolina coast in the dark morning hours, they made a short journey they hoped they’d never have to take — to two waiting life rafts.
But only 13 of the 16 people aboard got off the ship safely, initially, and only one of the three washed overboard made it into a raft, Coast Guard Vice Adm. Robert Parker told CNN. That left rescuers scrambling to find them in the frenzied ocean, Parker said.
Wow, you have a bubble over you... I want one!
We understand that he is not representative of TX FReepers.
What needs to be pointed out as well, is that he is not representative of FReepers, period.
Maybe the mods need to slap him down with a time out until either the storm is over or he learns some manners.
Well they shouldn't have any trouble finding water to "bucket flush" their terlets...if they don't mind carrying it up a hundred flights of stairs.
Work on “Roads and bridges” is so much more visible, even when quite a lot of it isn’t urgently needed.
Apparently, there is 2 feet of water in the basement of Bellvue and they can’t get the generators to work.
Gov.Tomblin is an idiot. He wouldn’t recognize an opportunity if it bit him in the a....ankle.
Oh crap. The river has now breached the FDR. Good chance I’m going to lose power soon. Building across street (78th between York and FDR in NYC) lost power.
