what a crazy storm. I never really would imagine seeing pictures like I have of the places I spent my childhood. My brother was in hoboken, four feet of water surrounding his apartment (he's fine).
Kudos to the President, Governer Christie, and the mayor of NY, for a job well done so far.

Just spoke with a good friend of mine that still lives "at the shore" (we never used that terminology growing up) and he said that Bay Head and Mantoloking, two very nice old beach towns are still completely under water and what isnt under water is on fire due to a gas leak that they cannot shut down because the valves are under sand or water. I built about 15 homes on those beaches before I moved, they are all destroyed or washed away completely. Very sad.

I understand the waters are horribly contaminated with gasoline, diesel, etc. and people who stayed back are still being asked to evacuate due to risk of fire.

 The federal and state responses from the 10 governors so far have been without complaint. What is yours?

Pretty outstanding response. You and Hooves can keep dissing it, and politicizing it with your typical targets of dislike and pettiness, but that seems pretty wrong and unfair. You guys go ahead and bitch and moan without me. It's completely absurd. I'll wait until tomorrow, when you two are angry that the subways are not drained and all the power isn't back on yet. Good grief.

whatever
so far they've been doing everything they can. Unless Christie bends over and starts chugging water. The responses have been good.

Christie is a very good politician. He started campaining for President as the Hurricane hit. Obama couldnt wait to get here for the photo op. Bloomburg is running a marathon on Sunday while hundreds of thousands in his city are without power and food. The idea that they should get any credit is way premature as things can get very dicey especially since it is getting cold at night and there are a few million people w/o power.

what more would you like them to do.
its not like you can snap your fingers and have the whole mess fixed. the national guard is doing what they can, the funds were appropriated almost immediately. come on now. a LOT more deaths could have occurred here. I mean, look at this devistation. a lot more.

This is a huge tragedy/disaster, and yeah, so far so good. Proud of Christie and the other govs for being proactive. Nobody is saying there are not people without water, food, etc.today - but they are just wrapping up search and rescue.
