A couple of new developments in the Super Storm Sandy affair.
1. Military Trucks will be used as mobile polling places.
2. The New York Marathon will still take place.
3. Staten Island residents are still in a hurt locker.
4. Military Aircraft are being used to fly in utility worker's vehicles.
Time will tell, but I'm still seeing misplaced priorities. People are dumpster diving, going through the wreckage of their houses and the government is diverting resources to setup mobile polling places AND putting on a marathon?
I've always wondered how a super city would respond to a massive crisis and so far I'm unimpressed.
The places to watch are the ones that are getting little air time. New Jersey is probably a tinderbox. Staten Island likewise. But the part of New York that remains in the dark should be watched too.
I don't know when the Marathon is set to run but that will probably be the final straw.

Last June 1st a tornado tore through my neighborhood. Within hours National Guard and law enforcement had set up check points along the main streets.
ReplyDeleteThis was in a small city in Massachusetts too. But then again it wasn't an election year.
