I remember discussing how one could store weeks' worth of water in a bathtub and making detailed emergency preparation checklists and kits back when I was in 8th grade (the Carter years). People just aren't taught to think anymore. :-(

They'd walk over to jersey and freeload off them, or hit brooklyn & queens hard.
We left almost 30 years. One of the reasons we told people was IF something happened there are only 3-4 bridges total to escape NY from, not us.

One of the reasons John Carpenter chose it as a location for all the national undesirables.

Fixed!

Thank you.

Self help redistribution to be more accurate, kinda like voting for Obama only direct instead of indirect.

Don't be these people, have at least 2 weeks of food and water.

Localities across New Jersey imposed curfews to prevent looting. In Monmouth, Ocean and other counties, people waited for hours for gasoline at the few stations that had electricity. Supermarket shelves were stripped bare.

It is one thing to say there is a curfew, it is entirely another thing to enforce a curfew.

Hey, do you see any countries offering us aid or assistance to clean up after this hurricane....



Didn't think so.

I think when Romney takes office he should suspend all foreign aid immediately.

Family & friends we know have either been prepared or working with neighbors to maintain. Absolutely NO Fuel deliveries on the island and other parts of NY & NJ until further notice. Power coming back on slowly. Even money says before election day "select" parts of the east coast are on line, before the rest of the coast.

Abso-fucking-lutely! Isnt it time Haiti learned to live or die on its own?

I'm looking at the news stories and everything and I want to feel sorry for the sheeple but I can't. They had ample warning. They have had time to prepare. NOW they're stuck in a city w/ a ton of other people all wanting food and water and gas..

I honestly have no sympathy. Should they riot and start pillaging and killing each other.. I'll simply continue to shake my head.

I have started thinking more about prepping.. I have enough food for a week or so at the house but most of what I buy is fresh.. not canned. hmm.. might be time to think about a generator.
