New York City; Do we care?

The city was hit with a damaging storm. Electricity is out for a while, roads need to be cleared and the subway is shutdown for repair.

Why all the hand wringing, massive media coverage, end of the world scenarios. The arrogant citizens who think they shit roses, who are an entitled bunch at the center of the world can't do without power for a few days?

You had some wind and rain and storm surge. Not like an atomic bomb was dropped. Get over yourselves. Such whining cry-babies. Not so tough after all are you NYC.

Upset that all of the attention is off you, no empathy-having, narcissistic sociopath OP?

Sandy is the least of these peoples' problems, wait till they deal with their insurance and FEMA.

I'm very perplexed at some of the images I've seen today. Whole parking lots full of automobiles, service vehicles, taxi cabs, just sitting there under water. Weren't these people aware those areas were possible flood areas? All cities that close to the coast (and especially cities as close to sea level as NYC) have every square inch mapped for flood possibilities. Didn't anyone think to get all these vehicles out of those areas and move them either farther away from the shoreline or find multilevel parking structures to store them until the storm surge was over? Considering no one went to work in metro NYC I would think there would be a plethora of empty highrise parking garages that could have been utilized.

Prime example of climate change. We've been warned.

Fuck climate change! It's not real, the earth has only existed for 6000 years, and humans walked with the dinosaurs.

Don't you just tingle at the thought of us getting into the White House? :dance

SHIT! My name didn't show up. That post was from Mittens Romney, Paul Ryan, and the whole GOP.

Tingling is usually the first symptom of a really bad case of herpes, too!

I tingle at the thought of your new line of cat food for old people. Can hardly wait for you folks to close down the Dept of Education, FEMA, EPA, PBS funding and fund lots of shiney new tanks and bombs we so desperately need.

If there was a way to ship all those pesky homos to Nambia, I'd be wet as a snack cake. I sure hope the Koch Bros set up shop in the Lincoln Bedroom.

There was a great thread at DL about what is really going on in NYC, what is opening, bus service maybe and etc but can no longer find it.

I have an emergency preparation kit like all islanders have in their homes. Maybe NYC thought they were immune to disaster. From the little I've seen on TV, they seem to be getting back to normal except for the subway. That is going to be one hell of a project.

I'm curious to know about the subway rats. Did they all drown or can they swim.
