Here in CT, we were without power for four days- but we were prepared.
We had tons of water, cooking gas, car chargers for electronics, cans full of gas, plenty of food, personal cleaning supplies, oil lamps, wood, batteries etc.
We started preparing the Friday before and made certain it was all done by Sunday. When it hit on Monday we lost power almost immediately and the LAST people we would ever think would help us would be the govt.
There is no excuse for not being prepared...the govt will never save you and it is time people learned that lesson.
Now Obama has HIS “Katrina”- another disaster in his ‘legacy’ of failure....
We lost power with the two storms last year for 8 days each, and I was prepped for about a month’s worth of power outage. So thankful I only lost it for a few hours.
>>the LAST people we would ever think would help us would be the govt.
Absolutely, I never expect the local, state or feds to save my bacon. Even though I can’t stand Gov Malloy, I have to give him credit for not sugar-coating this during the days before the storm. Locally people were told to prepared for long power outages and if they didn’t, they must have been stuck in la-la land. That I am reading reports of local officials whining or actually encouraging people to take their frustrations out on line workers (Bridgeport) is PATHETIC!
