Same thing in Rockaway. Help is beginning to arrive ... at the city's housing projects. Maybe it's a good thing ... lowers the chance of rioting. The wealthier areas on the west end, Neponsit, Belle Harbor, etc are still on their own.
You are correct, after looking it up.
What do you bet that in the absence of the marathon event that the generators would have been rented by NY municipal authorities to help with the outages.
Hahahah OK there Sparky. Relying on an Insurance company to bail you out in a SHTF situation....
Your Prepper Cred just pegged zero...
It sure isn't.
Still??! A barrier island with no seawall, four days after a hurricane and 14 ft. storm surge still has no power? And you say homes there are uninhabitable?
Send an angry letter to the Times.
They're not union. I hope the union thugs let them in.
Cancelled.
Marathon, I mean.
What did he say about the situation?
Actually, Rockaway does have a seawall.
Take your f’n sarcasm and slink back into the swamp.
No, but it doesn't matter. Liberty International in NJ is only 4 miles from the bridge to there.
I just spoke with a friend in Brooklyn. East 71st st in BayRidge. Their home is fine except for a soggy basement. They had four feet of water in there from the surge. Tomorrow morning the crew will be there to strip out the sheet rock and appliances so everything can dry. 100% coverage.Yup, flood insurance is handy to have.
My apologies. Rockaway has a crumbling, unmaintained 50 year old breakwater built to a height of 9 ft. above mean high water. Sandy’s storm surge came in at 14. (Katrina’s came in at 30. ) Those with flood insurance should have their checks shortly.
Most people who build on barrier islands put their homes on pilings. A word to the wise.
Houses are built on stilts - bayside - on the water
Oceanside, it's hard to build apartment buildings on stilts. But thanks for your suggestion.
Those who have private oceanfront homes - valued in the millions - are well insured.
Watching what has happened in NE, NYC in particular, has saddened me a great deal.
Mostly because of the devastation but, also, the cloak of innocence that is being bestowed on Obama and his administration.
Heckuva job, there, Janet.
So “disgruntled” equals as “nasty an as violent as the most blood-thirsty Klingon”?
See posts 33, 37, 71, and 72. Staten Island might not be quite as bad as the impression you get from the article.
The two dead toddlers ripped from mommys arms is particularly heart breaking
Flood insurance is a weird thing B4
Here in Music City you have to be in the actual plain or get an overlay waiver
Im surprised someone in Bay Ridge would be eligible....given a lot of there and Bensonhurst are high ground
But aside from beachfront or alluvial dirt....its cheap and nice
I carry 2m on a car wash in zone....mandated by the bank
