5 military gas stations in an area of 8 million people is retarded.

Just hand out generators to the gas stations without power and problem solved, I guess not good for photo-ops though

FEMA is just now ordering 2 million MRE's for election day. Nice photo-op of people getting one meal from the government in a week

Free gas fiasco fuels frustration, chaos in N.Y.

But by the afternoon Cuomo spokesman Matt Wing rolled back the offer of free gas, announcing that fuel was intended for emergency vehicles first and foremost.

The change came after the U.S. Department of Defense — which provided the gas in coordination with the National Guard — said the gas was only for first responders.

A Cuomo administration source blamed the mixup on the military.

Devastated Rockaways residents lash out at Bloomberg during unannounced visit

“I knew it was going to be real bad, but I never expected this devastation,” said resident Ned Morgan, whose basement flooded up to 6 feet, destroying furniture, family pictures and electronics.

“They’re looting cars all over the place,” Morgan said. “This is New York City. They have to help us.”

Some Rockaways residents who work as firefighters in The Bronx and Manhattan were fuming yesterday — sitting idly in their firehouses while their neighbors and family members miles away struggled to get help.

“We’re all going crazy,” said one firefighter, who asked his name not be used for fear of retribution. “They’re not deploying any extra resources, and we’re just sitting around.”
