no telling what the total $ amount will be on this storm. one picture alone has several cars piled up in a flooded area. going to be high. hopefully no more added to the death toll.

Brutal..not finished yet...amazing pics..yes, hope no more deaths..
Watched ABC hour long news at 6.30 and CBS from 10-11 last nite and in between the weather channel, haven't watched them in years...on location reporters were in distress...and Stewart had a re-run due to storm and watched a few minutes of Letterman and was just him and his goofy band leader and no audience...

i have to admit, probably my biggest pet peeve is when stations such as the weather channel send reporters to stand out in the storms to do reports.

what the hell purpose does that serve? you're telling people it's a serious storm, seek shelter...and then you send a crew in harms way. that makes no sense at all to me. do we really need to see someone in rain gear getting soaked and blown around to know 'hey, it's a hurricane'?

Revealed today that New Jersey is devastated, both on shore and inland, Chris Christie on Fox this am obviously severely worried, caring about his state and people. Fire burned 80 flooded homes. Manhattan flooded. 38 dead.

Heavy heart for all involved

About what? Christie was on Fox this am, highly praising President Obama and the federal response.

The Faux And Fools Idiot asked if Romney was going to do disaster photo-op in New Jersey. Christie said to the Faux Idiot:

Quote:

Gov. Christie took his message to Fox News and praised the President saying that Obama had helped “tremendously.” He went on to add:

“I spoke to the president three times yesterday,” “He called me for the last time at midnight last night asking what he could do. I said, if you can expedite designating New Jersey as a major disaster area that that would help us to get federal money and resources in here as quickly as possible to help clean up the damage here.”

“The president was great last night,” “He said he would get it done. At 2 a.m., I got a call from FEMA to answer a couple of final questions and then he signed the declaration this morning. So I have to give the president great credit. He’s been on the phone with me three times in the last 24 hours. He’s been very attentive, and anything that I’ve asked for, he’s gotten to me. So, I thank the president publicly for that. He’s done — as far as I’m concerned — a great job for New Jersey.”

When asked if Romney will come to NJ do the disaster photo-op tour, Christie said of Romney:

Quote:

“I have no idea, nor am I the least bit concerned or interested,” Christie replied, immediately shutting down the idea. “I’ve got a job to do here in New Jersey that’s much bigger than presidential politics and I could [sic] care less about any of that stuff.”

“I have a job to do,” “I’ve got 2.4 million people out of power, I’ve got devastation on the shore, I’ve got floods in the northern part of my state. If you think right now I give a damn about presidential politics then you don’t know me.”
