NOTE: Zebra Dunn made the comment (and it was totally in jest) that unless the situation improved in the New York Metropolis area (I include New Jersey) then we would see long pig being cooked on what remains of back porches. He said in jest but I wonder how many pure dee crazies live in a population that large. But as it now stands, we have a Marine Expeditionary Unit moving to assist. Untold numbers of Sailors, Marines and Airmen (haven't been keeping up but I will now) moving to help. The problem? If you remember Hurricane Katrina (with a much lower population density) it was a long term tasking...we're talking about 6 months and it was made easier because the population was basically moved from the disaster zone. You can't do that with New York and surrounding areas. This will get nasty. It can't help but. On a side note. Remember the warnings that were issued? They had a week to get ready and most didn't...what will happen when a bolt out of the blue strikes the US? Can you say Thunder Dome?
