I have some family members in Zone A who live in a third floor building in the Coney Island Area. I can't get a hold of them. I'm thinking its because they have no power and phone service for land line is out and cell just goes to voice mail. I tried to convince them to evacuate. They refused! They said they would be fine since their on the third floor, have enough emergency supplies, food ect, bla bla bla. Anyone know if its a total mess over there? TY They are right by Coney Island amusement park
Here is a story... later there was looting. But it's obvious from the story no one has power there.
I wonder when is Oprah and the rest of the "movie stars", that all seem to have an opinion in world affairs, going to help us out and take up a collection.
I wonder if Oprah will build new homes for the people in "Breezy Point", like she did in "New Orleans"......
I clicked the first link and then selected another similar story on the site. I just want to say it never ceases to amaze me how naive and/or stupid people are. In the story I read, there was a pregnant woman who lives in a luxury building in the evacuation zone (I looked it up -- 2 bedrooms rent for $6,000 a month). She decided not to evacuate.
Anyway, she starts to have contractions Monday night and the nervous super is researching on the internet before the power goes out how to deliver a baby. In the end she finds a cab to get her to the hospital.
Sorry, but if you're that pregnant that contractions could start any minute AND you live in the evacuation zone AND you are well-off enough to pay $6,000 a month in rent, why would you not evacuate to a hotel near your hospital?

Two reasons:
a) Some people value property and material belongings over all else.
b) If nothing bad has ever happened to them in their lives, they refuse to believe that anything bad ever could happen -- they are simply in denial that they could be in danger.

It's all so sad.
