Really Staten Island?????

128. anyone along the east coast..

could be in the position Staten Island is now. I live in MA, close to the water, and if we would have been told to evacuate, I'm not certain at all that we would. I can understand the position these people are in, but having been forewarned that we all along the east coast might be without power for a week or more, I don't understand the lack of patience of those complaining about not having power. Perhaps if Bloomberg had allowed FEMA to come in before the storm hit it would have been easier for them. The analogies between Staten Island and New Orleans I find incredible. If two days from now, FEMA, the Red Cross, and all other emergency services are not there, and thousands of people are dead...perhaps then, one can bring up New Orleans. It is a moot point, because the cavalry has already arrived there.
