Listen, I've been in the dark around here about how bad it really is. I haven't seen television in a week and all I've seen is some of the less messed up areas while working. I just watched the damage on tv and I tell you Tim this is a little worse than no electric and a few leaves blown around. I saw footage of Breezy and Rockaway Beach, Point Pleasant, and a few others and let me tell you these people lost everything. Breezy makes katrina look like a minor clean up job. The difference is that I can guarantee you that within a year these areas will be rebuilt, and not by fema. People where I live are out there right now repairing what is only minor damage as opposed to other areas, but unlike the katrina "victims" these people are taking care of themselves and rebuilding already.
Tons of first responders are at work, working their asses off over here even though their own homes are heavily damaged. I was on a job the other day and a firefighter was telling me that his wife was giving him hourly updates about the water level in his own home while he was at work. My daughter just did 36 hrs straight and has to be back at 6am. I've only been doing 12 hrs because of the confusion with my station being flooded. I know it's not really working because the pay checks are from the govt. and the phony taxes being taken out and how we're stealing from you and Sean and how all the people that were killed in the flood waters deserved it because they probably have a distant relative that voted for obama etc.
