“Honey, President Obama says to check out the Internet for hurricane information.” “But we have no power!”
“Then turn on the TV.”
“Again, NO POWER!”
Chicago Tribune puts those without electricity as a result of Hurricane Sandy at 7.5 million. While the numbers vary depending on the news source, one thing is for certain: millions who need the federal government’s information the most have no electrical power and cannot access the Internet. Then, there are an untold number of people who do not even own computers, not to mention affected Internet service providers that have no power in order to provide Internet service.
FEMA reportedly does not have any non-Internet sources for citizens to get information.
Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up.
i hate to dwell on the past but so many of you obama leg-humpers are wrong about this.
FYI... during Katrina, FEMA can NOT step in until the state(s)s asks for assistance. the Gov of LA didnt ask for help for days.

Everyone in my area has no phone service, no power, no tv, but have mobile internet.
That is how everyone here in NJ and NYC are staying in contact.
There are rescues being made based on Facebook posts because people have no phone or power.
Right now I have no cell service, and power only at work. But I have mobile internet, and have since the storm hit. Ask people in the affected areas and they'll say the same.

Computers? How many people do you think own radios these days?

We had this failed thread yesterday. Many people in the area who have lost power, have stayed in contact through internet updates via cellphone. In fact rescue attempts, etc were coordinated through facebook, twitter, etc via cell phone connections to the internet.
