Superstorm-Sandy-2012. #1
Millions of people are still without power and tens of thousands are stranded in their properties due to flooding three days after superstorm Sandy battered the US East Coast and killed at least 72 people.

Code:
"Nearly 20,000 people have been trapped at home in the New Jersey city of Hoboken, just across the river from New York City, amid accusations that officials were slow to deliver food and water.

One man blew up an air mattress and floated to City Hall, demanding to know why supplies had not reached residents - at least a quarter of homes there are flooded and 90% do not have power.

National Guard troops have arrived in Hoboken to help evacuate stranded people.

In total, about six million homes and businesses remain without power, mostly in New York and New Jersey - while miles of coastline, including Atlantic City, was ripped apart by the storm."

The bill for Sandy could top $20bn!

While the thought of the bill is terrible. The fact that the president made one visit just to solidify his election process is sickening. He still hasn't taken the time to go back out there and really isn't working all that hard to get those people the help or the relief they need. The only difference is the media have managed to bury it so that it is not as open to dialogue as Katrina was.

God do I hate the media, anyone wonder why the fiscal cliff is such a big deal? #MediaConspiracy
