[ForTehNguyen]

this is what happens when you depend on Uncle Sugar. Holy crap bidding on water vendors AFTER the disaster? How much is it going to cost now?

FEMA OUT OF WATER, NO DELIVERY UNTIL MONDAY

I'm a LEO in a city along the southwestern CT coast and we got hit pretty hard by Sandy, not as bad as NY and NJ, but still pretty bad and probably the worst hit in CT.

It's been a long week, with almost 100 hours put in and doing another 16 tonight into tomorrow morning. We'll be on an emergency staffing posture at work for the foreseeable future with extra deterrent patrols along the evacuated coastal areas to prevent looters and burglaries of vacant and condemned homes.

My city sustained a lot of storm damage, with a ton of trees and wires down on the north side of the city and severe flooding along the shoreline. We had two (2) of the state's four (4) storm-related fatalities. It was much worse than Irene last year and that was pretty bad, too. Many who had to rebuild from Irene had just recently finished doing so and have now lost their homes again only a year later.

In comparing the preparation and response to Sandy vs Irene, I thought that in our area of CT, at least, we were much more organized, coordinated, and efficient in our response from the local to state to federal levels (CT has no county level of government), to include the utility companies as well. There was a lot of pre-deployment of assets and a more systemic handling of the crisis. I guess we successfully remembered and applied lessons learned from Irene.

During Irene, we really got whacked with looters, burglars, and scrap metalers along the coast in the evacuated and damaged homes. In preparing our response to Sandy, we immediately had a significant and visible presence in those affected areas, stopping and questioning those that looked out of place, checking IDs, and verifying stories. The leeches and scumbags seem to have got the message and have stayed away for the most part.

My sleeping arrangements in the DB at Police HQs this past week:


Here are some pics of storm damage, all of which were taken the day after Hurricane Sandy:











Hope all is well with those of you along the East Coast seriously impacted by this storm, especially those in NY and NJ....hang in there.

The IBTimes article says people are using bows and arrows for self defense. These same people will not connect the dots between their very serious situation and their anti gun stance. Doesn't survival of the fittest chime in someplace? My God man, grow a set.

people are using bows and arrows for self defense. .

I doubt that will work out as hoped.

Good links the last couple of days Moose...

The level of unprepardness and lack of SELF-RESPONSIBILTY makes me sick. This just confirms the extent of the entitlement society.

I am never ceased to be amazed at the naiviety of liberals to scumbags' motivations. To them, there is always a justifiable reason for thier behavior

Not everyone in the neighborhood has heard of looting and robberies since Sandy.

“I haven't heard anything, but if they are taking from the grocery stores, it's because they need it,” said Rebecca Kelly talking as she ate a cup of soup. “There's no grocery stores open.”

Just like the pix of the looted Pharmacy with rows of canned food left on the shelves while the "feel good" drugs were stolen.
