Gas lines a mile or more in Greenwich, Rye, Scarsdale, etc. Many stations without power, gas. ConEd trucks being sent to Manhatten. New Jersey refusing power company trucks from non-union states.
After Irene, It was a crew from Alabama that finally got our power back, after 8 days. And they said, You’re welcome, ma’am. People in Alabama are lucky! I’m in Westchester county, NY.
Bloomberg and Cuomo have police cars herding all incoming cars to NYC into single-line idling, so each car can be checked for 3 passengers. No wasting gas here. It’s difficult in spots around Westchester, and parts of Connecticut are a tangled, smashed mess, but situation is desperate in Staten Island, New Jersey, Long Island.
That should be the basis for revoking the "Disaster Area" status, because it's obviously not that great of a disaster.
