Thanks!they were located left long beach on foot Monday eve and went to island park to a friends house
We all do, and I share the same feelings of sympathy and support as all the folks above. I think the most efficient way to help is to donate to the Red Cross.
3 days now no power. My office in Jersey City has been closed all week also. Since most people have no power in Staten Island, there are 3 gas stations open. There is about an 2 hour wait for gas.
Manhattan below 37th street is literally a wasteland. Delis are operating without power, bartering has begun, people have to go north to get actually currency from their bank accounts. Can you imagine if the whole Island was like that? It'd be anarchy in 3 days. The Con Ed bulding 4 blocks from me BLEW UP. Piercing blue light, buildings shook. This storm was no joke. My thoughts go out to those in Jersey who have lost everything.
Young people don't know how to use cash anymore. They put donuts on their debit cards. Next storm make sure that you have some hard cash. atms don't work.etc.
Same in Jersey City, and in Keansburg people are apparently stealing generators. I'm sure people at times like this would share with their neighbors but my guess is they aren't being stolen for personal use... probably to be sold to some poor bastard who needs one.
The Tiki Bar in Point Pleasant Beach.... I met Captain Lou Albano here when I worked on the boardwalk.
Here ya go... This one is on Broadway heading towards Rt 35 The inlet Down at the north end of the boardwalk
I think what scares me more than anything else is that climatologists predicted these "superstorms". This just might be the harbinger of things to come in the near future. Winter might turn out to be a cast iron bitch. They're already forecasting a "real" winter this year. Nothing at all like last year.
It's only going to get worse as the Earth warms up even more. Basically the human race is on a frantic mission to burn every last drop of oil and nugget of coal on the entire planet.
