  • @PANTLOADIAN I don’t know why people want to paint a bad picture of Staten Island, maybe the news is just not getting the accurate picture. Of course their are people who are going to complain that this should have been done and that should have been done… but this was a storm that has never been witnessed by those alive who live on SI. I don’t know how people expect things to be solved so quickly when the magnitude of destruction was so beyond what anyone could ever imagine. Most people prepared for it, we were warned and evacuated out of areas considered zone A. I guess people just want to believe the worst because it validates there belief of what’s going on here. I mean someone already told me to take my liberal mindset and beat it…. why would they say that when I was just trying to point out how my community, both democrats, republicans, independents, etc.. how we are coming together to help our neighbors and community, no one I know is sitting around and waiting for handouts, but everyone I meet and talk to just wants to help, it has most of us united to do what is needed…
    and no one has turned away non-union workers here, that does not exist here on SI during this time of emergency. I don’t know if that answers your question…. but I tried…

  • it’s kind of sad to see all the anger on here, I am from staten island and have been dealing with this since we were told to prepare for this storm… this community is amazing and we take care of each other… and there has been so much help I am astounded by the outpouring of care, read our local paper http://www.SIlive.com and see for yourself…

  • I copied this from my previous comment but incase you didn’t see it:
    I live on Staten Island and have spent many hours in my community doing hurricane relief work, I live by the shore and I can tell you that the response from our community and surrounding areas has been nothing short of amazing!!! We are a close community and have been taking care of our neighbors from minute one, we have an abundance of donations and have been organizing through social media, people just driving around giving out meals, coffee,etc. It is not chaos… many caring wonderful people all over Staten Island. Red Cross, FEMA, church groups, salvation army, etc. all helping out! We are the biggest little small town in America and we are taking care of each other!!!!

  • Actually what has been reported on the news is quite accurate, FOX is really not covering it accurately… go to SILive our local paper and see for yourself.
