Also consider all the massive erosion of the soil, concrete infrastructures and concrete foundations underneath New York City. Just getting to the electrical infrastructure will take weeks because it won't be a simple job of just pumping out the water. They will have major soil erosion problems and compromised concrete infrastructures and foundations.

It's nearly too much to comprehend. This catastrophe is going to cost many billions of dollars and untold man hours to put right. I don't doubt that it will also take years to accomplish.

In the meantime, the effects to financial and business markets around the country are going to be severe and (probably) long lasting. If this country ever needed someone at the top who's got the skill, courage, and experience to handle all this - now is the time.

Like I said.... this IS Obama's Katrina... no matter how much they wanted to make it look like he was in charge, in control of the situation and preparation, they failed in other areas.
They should have known before hand that there was going to be major flooding in New York city years ago and took steps to upgrade their under ground infrastructures.
Also ? there is going to be a major lack of electrical generators just for search and recuse operations, clean up, and repairs.
Sorry, no matter how much they prepared, they failed miserably in other areas...

OBAMA'S KATRINA !
