How would anyone know how much they would need before this storm? In the south coast, where storms are common, people get to do this every year just about, so they would have some kind of an idea. This has never happened up there. If you went to the store on friday, how much water do you think you would need for this storm? If you used public transportation and lived on the 11th floor, how much water would you have bought?
excuses, excuses
Gee, is it really so difficult for people in the Northeast?
Even picking up some water for an emergency is too difficult for them to figure out?
They don’t know how to rinse out jugs or pull out the lobster pot and fill it for water from the tap in case the storm shuts down the power?
Are they really tormented and overwhelmed by trying to decide between having 3 day, or 5 days worth of drinking water and juices and soda pop?
Do they have trouble figuring out how much beer, chips and ribs that they want for a 2 day weekend, or a 3 day weekend, do you think many of the smokers ran out of cigarettes?
How helpless and stupid are you claiming that these people are?
I just spoke to my son in Brooklyn and he said it didn’t effect him at all, he already had food and water, and he filled his car tank and an extra 5 gallon gas can before it blew in.
