[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 561447"] Some people feel that the Rockaways are not getting the attention that they need because they are on the lower end of the socio-economic scale. All of the upscale neighborhoods are being helped first. As far as Long Island goes, the governoe is FURIOUS with LIPA (the power company). They were unprepared. They are using a 25 year old computer system. They did not bring in enough equipment and supplies, like new utility poles, prior to the storm. They did not keep up with maintenance on it's power lines and transformers. They were asked to cut bck trees and branches that were hanging over power lines before the storm, but chose not to do it. The Suffolk County Executive pretty much took over the work crews that were out in the county this weekend because LIPA management has been so slow in responding to getting power back on. husband's elderly aunt and uncle are STILL without power and it's 13 days after the storm. The are where they live was not flooded. They just haven't gotten to them yet. It's crazy. [/QUOTE]
