Some low temps in NJ next 4 days, 35, 32, 30, and 25... Been saying this for 2 days...we, the region, were totally unprepared for an outage greater than 48 hours...never occurred to them...Monday morning, this will get ugly and all bets are off on Tues...we have power and 2 full tanks of gas, but the vast majority are riding around on fumes or sitting in 2 hour lines for gas...80% of stations are closed and the next stories will be the elderly freezing, followed by food shortages..really hope they get this fixed soon and there is no long term impact, but it has the potential to get bad in a hurry...Barry now owns this and after our governor gets off his knees(and i am usually a fan), he’s going to be owning this too...and don’t think that Booker, Sweeney or Codey or whoever the Dems put up, will not be beating him over the head with this next year at election time....
Oh, goodness. I am glad you have a car and gas to get out if you need to. Those poor people who are stuck.
The government does not do the emergency aid on the gulf coast well. People who are not in the mess, do it. Get some buddies organized and take some canned food, water and dry clothing to the bad areas if you can. Every little bit helps. That is what we do here.
We don’t wait for the government! Chruches, businesses and individuals get busy. They save lives.
