i know what you mean. it's so weird to go inland in Brooklyn where life is virtually normal (except the gas lines) and then go to Red Hook, or worse, the Rockaways, where everything is still so, so bad. My family at least has power (except my sister) now because of course the priority was getting Manhattan sorted (downtown was dark for almost a week and driving down there was eery if awesome). I have about twelve friends, all in Red Hook, who had to move permanently and lost almost everything. And our friends who own businesses there are screwed. People have been amazing though. My husband was on BBC World News (he's English) and after his friends saw it, manyl donated money (and because of the exchange rate, they donated quite a bit) So many volunteers and donations in Red Hook, it does warm my heart. I'm just sad for all of the people who are trapped on the higher floors of the projects (http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/...icle-1.1197748), that sounds like total hell. switching castes, I was in Southport last week. I helped my aunt and visited a friend who moved up there recently. The fire fighters are awesome up there and they drove over a truck to power her sump pump. The gas situation was not great then so I thought it would be worse by now. i had to drive north on Post Road to find a station both with power and fuel but not too much of a wait once I found one. Glad the dents aren't too bad.
