Requesting #30(?) fuel in say 5 gallon containers. Needs to go to the 13th floor where the generators are. Used 30 gal. per hour. Requesting nat’l guard to help carry them up.
Another place had an electrical system under the sidewalk on fire. All they could do was rope it off, “no ETA” (assume that means no help available to respond at the time.
Some things CAN be prepared for (like having more than 4 hours of fuel on hand for a hospital). However, the thing about these HUGE disasters - they are HUGE. No matter how many fire fighters, trucks, etc. - they WILL be overwhelmed.
What bothers me is they need to respond to the idiots that get stuck in an elevator, or try to drive on the flooded streets and get stuck or washed away.
Prayers up for all in harm’s way.
I can imagine there are a bunch of people over there that are praying for daylight. When daylight finally comes, what will we see? A mess the likes of which I don’t think we’ll have ever seen before.
If the power is out, where are they going to get the fuel from? Modern gas pumps need electricity. This is going to be a bigger disaster due to incompetence.
