Exactly what is FEMA doing? http://blog.fema.gov/ Yup they are all over the place, having people fill out applications, showing picture IDs and other government red tape. "... to make an appointment to visit your property within 14 days after you apply. " Brownie got in trouble because FEMA was not in NOLA the next day with food, ice and water. Where is FEMA's food and water? I know a lot of people down there and there is nothing... They are still walking too because of trees and wires. There are sections of the city where search and recovery efforts haven't even begun yet, the locals say the death toll is gonna' go up fast when the FD and FEMA get in there... You are full of **** or a liar, take your pick. I posted some URL's in reply to your previous post of bull****. |

You have an inadequate building code with houses that were not up to the weather and thousands of people who ignored the evacuation order. NOLA was levee failure. No code protects a house from 8 feet of rushing storm surge. Get used to it. Bull**** The current FEMA rules are you can't build below sea level Yet they allowed them to do it there again, just setting the taxpayers up for another fall. They also seemed to ignore the warnings about having several days of supplies and a hurricane kit with flashlights and other tools they need. Some guy was selling flashlights for $20. We also see FEMA still takes over a week to actually do anything of consequence in spite of white victims, 8 years of reforms and a democratic president. Storm came Tuesday. This is Friday. FEMA is all over the place. Learn to count, Mr Perfect. They don't seem to be in Staten Island. What are they doing "all over the place", actually providing some kind of relief or just looking? FEMA is nowhere.. I don't know one person who has actually found a truck yet.. They just keep getting the run around and waling from "false alarm" to false alarm and getting excuses... These folks are literally dehydrating from lack of food and water in some areas still. Again, you are a liar or just bat**** crazy. http://tinyurl.com/cnttcoc |

Bull**** The current FEMA rules are you can't build below sea level Yet they allowed them to do it there again, just setting the taxpayers up for another fall. You can talk about NOLA all you want. That was a levee failure. I'm talking about Sandy. Staten Island is above sea level, and no ****ing building code - except requiring stilting or concrete bunker construction - would have saved those buildings from the storm surge. And despite your saying "be prepared, because it happens all the time," the Sandy storm surge MADE HISTORY. http://seaandskyny.com/ So the bottom line is ANY community close to an ocean and not elevated sufficiently can suffer a disastrous storm surge. Or a Tsunami. Nobody will prepare for a +300 year event like you want them too. Florida codes don't protect from a strong cat 5, they just anticipate what's fairly common there. So your suggestion that Florida building codes be de rigueur elsewhere is flat wrong. They don't seem to be in Staten Island. What are they doing "all over the place", actually providing some kind of relief or just looking? Find out yourself. You don't know what you are talking about. Folks who base their judgements solely on political finger in the wind, are easy to spot here. I have dozens of friends "down there" right frekin' now. I don't have to "find out for myself" and neither does Greg, all he has to do is listen.. Bull****. http://tinyurl.com/cnttcoc |

Don't get all jacked up when you post non-fact and it gets challenged. BTW, FEMA is for when building codes don't work. Otherwise we wouldn't need it. I saw Harry say they were doing something for some people in lower Manhattan but the rest of the area seems to be forgotten. We could just huddle inside our bunkers until the storm passes. Yes that is exactly what you do, evacuate or hunker in the bunker. I'm not Harry. I am harry. I borrowed his handle. Truth is you have no idea how large an area isgetting help from FEMA. Our individual opinions are just that. Opinions. No they are not. I am here, in CT, talking real time to folks who are stuck there. And harry, we know who feeds you your "opinions" already anyway... |

Maybe this is New York's version of voter suppression. Pure horse**** and speculation. Just like most of the "voter suppression" horse ****. Exactly! But, alas, what does voter suppression have to do with the above speculation you posed? What part of it was hard to understand? The blue people may be trying to blunt the vote of the few red people in that area. Cut back on the kool ade :) -- Sent from my iPhone 5 |
