Good thing the rest of the country is here to send help. That wouldn’t happen if a really big one hits.
National Guard from out of state and utility crews from many states will help put it back together again. Get the basics back in shape. The Red Cross and other private agencies deliver some aid, insurance companies should be doing their estimates.
and hopefully it won’t really take 5-7 days to get fuel delivered. They waived the rules on diesel maybe the EPA will waive those blends rules too.
Interestingly, I don't think it's so much a matter of getting supplies here from other states. I understand the biggest problem is that without power there simply aren't enough businesses open here to supply the things that people depend on. I'm not sure what the refinery situation is, and I know there is a disaster unfolding at Port Newark/Elizabeth with dozens of shipping containers toppled off their stacks, moved around by the storm surge, etc.
