"Let me tell you something about humans, nephew: They're a wonderful, friendly people - as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working." "But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those friendly, intelligent, wonderful people...will become as nasty and as violent as the most blood-thirsty klingon." Quark from: The Siege of AR-558 (#7.8)" (1998)

Good quote: “I cannot believe the level of whining” one Democrat Party official as he entered a celebrity-studded party at a posh hotel near Times Square where the power is still on. “The President gave some wonderful photo-ops, hugged a lady at the airport and flew over to see the wreckage. What else can you expect?”

This may build to a crescendo by Sunday/Monday.

Why the exasperation, Manhattanites? Sandy’s given your president an opportunity to look “presidential”! Not what you expected?

One thing we haven’t seen is any mobs headed to the burbs. Maybe it hasn’t occurred to them yet.

Ok, I'll say it,

"Bush's fault."

I do hope the area will recover well, regardless.

You live in a city. You don't know how to change a tire or oil. You don't know how to build a fire. You can't communicate without a cell phone. You can't fix your plumbing. You can't set up your own wifi. You're untrained in basic economics, chemistry, physics and history. You can't prepare food without packages, and aren't even aware that food has to be processed from root or bone before that. You only know and get paid for one very specialized task.

Yet you call me a "hick."

Well, at least they could use their Cell Phones, as lomg as the Battery lasts, as a Flashlight.

That is if they remembered to download the Flashlight App before the storm hit.

I think it’s in the “Preppy Preppers” hanndbook. Too bad they only get in on a Kindle.

A Manhattan handyman opened a fire hydrant so people could collect water to flush toilets.

The fire hydrants are a different system from domestic water?

How does that work?

I keep wondering how long it will be before the comedy act of Shep & Geraldo will be on scene to save the world.

Perhaps they’re waiting for the cannibalism to begin.

This is going to become a bigger disaster than Katrina, because the lack of food, clean water, electricity and severely hampered transportation will comboine to produce a whopper of an epidemic...especially since another system looks to be coming through in a few days.

My mother has been in the hospital in central NJ for the last 30 or so hours - and hasn’t seen a single cardiologist because none of them can be reached. Luckily, the 23 docs are good, and she should get out tomorrow. She even enjoyed thw warmth and the TV, because there’s none at home.

The only positive here is that this is a big, in-your-face teachable moment. Millions, and not just in the Northeast, will take prepping more seriously and actually store a few days or couple weeks of food and water, plus have more batteries, camp stoves with propane, gas, tarps, blankets, etc. Even Bill O’Reilly was talking earlier today about not relying on the government in an emergency.
