This is a huge tragedy/disaster, and yeah, so far so good. Proud of Christie and the other govs for being proactive. Nobody is saying there are not people without water, food, etc.today - but they are just wrapping up search and rescue.
You keep on reading social media while forgetting that many of the severely affected people didnt have access to social media because they had no power and the phone service in many places is terrible for assorted reasons.

What would the Govs do otherwise? Ignore the storm that they knew was coming for 5 days?

Pretty outstanding response. You and Hooves can keep dissing it, and politicizing it with your typical targets of dislike and pettiness, but that seems pretty wrong and unfair. You guys go ahead and bitch and moan without me. It's completely absurd. I'll wait until tomorrow, when you two are angry that the subways are not drained and all the power isn't back on yet. Good grief.
Perhaps if the Gov and company had done their jobs properly it wouldnt be such a shock that a town ON THE WATER MIGHT FLOOD!!!!!

I didnt dismiss anything just pointed out that it was a little too early to be handing out plaudits to the 3 politicians named.

The same society who gives participation awards for playing, gives praise for people DOING THEIR JOB. And it is waaaay too soon to know its being done well.

They are across from Chelsea - yeah, they are not as low as the A, B or C NY city evacuation zones.

And it's a little too early to not applaud the good work they have already done. But good luck with that. You let us know when it's okay for some of us to say "thanks" for what they have done for the victims. Oh, wait - nobody cares.
