Hurricane Sandy Rocks New York City

The video above shows some major preparation for Hurricane Sandy and all of that preparation was absolutely necessary and then some. I hope everyone in NYC is being as safe as possible given the current conditions. It’s a serious storm that did some major flooding. Pictures below.

From Politico HERE:

Nearly $7.8 billion is available for storm response through FEMA’s disaster relief fund, congressional aides said Monday. That includes more than $7 billion set aside in the stopgap spending bill that funds the federal government through March, as well as money designated for disaster relief carried over from last year that was not spent. On top of that — thanks to the debt limit deal last year — FEMA can tap a several billion dollars in additional emergency funds without turning to Congress for extra money.

And regardless of the ideology regarding how to pay for disaster aid, the hurricane is serving as a great equalizer, hitting states represented by a wide range of prominent politicians — with Eric Cantor in Virginia, Chris Christie in New Jersey, and Andrew Cuomo in New York.

I have always had a dream of flying as a young boy; the trick is to fly just high enough for it to matter and yet not so high that you get burned by the sun. I'm also reckless. And I care about truth.
