Good Samaritans and emergency personnel had their arms, trucks and boats full as they rescued people from four New Jersey towns that were quickly flooded with water following Hurricane Sandy. Full story



what amazes me about this is the amount of evacuations and rescues they are doing post hurricane sandy. i live in florida and been threw all of them including the worst ANDREW. we have learned a lot over the years and there are no more rescues nor is there any emergency help as to water and ice. law were put in affect suchas manditory generators for all super markets and gas stations. they pound the hurricane info into so. fla. people at the start of the season june 1st via infomercials. if you are told to EVACUATE you must do so or you are at your own risk. im sure that most of these people where bucking the system and being a bunch idiots and now they want the help.... not in florida. you have more that enough time to prepare. as far as the electric goes.......be prepared for at least a 3 weeks shut down...
