    You seem to have more experience with the topic than I do, but I still feel like you're putting a lot of faith in the typical New Yorker... As I was saying, a situation lasting more than 10 days seems like it could easily result in tens of thousands of deaths. What would an EMP do?

    They'd walk over to jersey and freeload off them, or hit brooklyn & queens hard.
    We left almost 30 years. One of the reasons we told people was IF something happened there are only 3-4 bridges total to escape NY from, not us.

    Don't be these people, have at least 2 weeks of food and water.

    Localities across New Jersey imposed curfews to prevent looting. In Monmouth, Ocean and other counties, people waited for hours for gasoline at the few stations that had electricity. Supermarket shelves were stripped bare.

    It is one thing to say there is a curfew, it is entirely another thing to enforce a curfew.

    Hey, do you see any countries offering us aid or assistance to clean up after this hurricane....



    Didn't think so.

    I think when Romney takes office he should suspend all foreign aid immediately.
