So, people in New York normally have no food in their house, don't own snow shovels even though it snows there every winter and can't survive in their house for even a few minutes if the power goes out?
An even bigger question is why any of it is the top news story where I am. Idaho.
We have snow storms just like that or worse and it doesn't make the national news. In December there was a huge storm with power outages. It was out for weeks in some areas. There was a year we had three feet of snow within a few hours. School wasn't cancelled 3 days before it happened.
New York has a rush to by food and snow shovels and the news is instructing them to move in with someone else as soon as the power goes out. It snows every year there yet they're always surprised by it somehow. Explain this to me.
Don't feel bad. I grew up outside of Buffalo. We use to marvel at the trouble NYC and downstate (let alone other east coast cities) had with a "snowstorm". What they call a "blizzard" we referred to as Tuesday. A one or two day dump, unless accompanied by severe strong winds and zero degree weather, is an inconvenience. 20 foot drifts are another thing, they are a PITA. But still, it's SNOW. Dig out and move on. But when you're "media central" every year there is an "epic" storm.
Wow, That's a lot of misery those poor people will have to deal with! I did not realize they got hit that hard.
Yes it is. But, the people there have no real faith that Christie will get anything done to help. I mean here's what some houses STILL look like a little over 3 years after Sandy.
