FDNY and Sandy

Karina is a great case study in how not to prepare and how not to deal with a hurricane and any future President who hasn't learned from it would have to be deemed totally incompetent! From the current news reports, it doesn't appear that there has been much in the way of looting. A few minor reports out of Philadelphia is about all I have seen so far. There was a flurry of reports that Twitter was being used to recruit looters: http://www.naturalnews.com/037756_looting_Hurricane_Sandy_armed_resistance.html
I am guessing that the reports of mobilizations of National Guard in various States and the fact that police departments were beefed up may have knocked some sense into these otherwise foolish people?

I was talking to the lady who manages the closest gas station to our house this morning. She was a New Orleans native and had 14 members of her family living in New Orleans when Katrina hit. 5 of her family members died and she and her husband were lucky enough to be moved to Albuquerque by the government since there was a lack of housing. While she does miss certain aspects of New Orleans, she really appreciates our more stable weather!

Tragically, most of the families in Breezy Point were retired families from the NYC fire and police department. Now they have nothing, everything destroyed by the fires. I'm donating through the Red Cross as they are desperate for help.
