Sandy’s coming

I just finished watching a news clip where the President was encouraging everyone to take precautions and/or evacuate before Sandy arrives. He stressed that we need to listen to our state authorities.

The storm is a bad one. I even heard a weather person say it will become a nor’easter which is if not worse than a hurricane it is at least as bad. I can attest to that. I would also encourage everyone to evacuate and take precautions. But that’s kind of a no brainer. This kind of storm is a killer.

What caught my attention about the President’s comments is that he was being so very truthful.  We do need our state authorities to step up. After all the best we can hope for from the federal government is a drone flying over so the federal guys can watch Sandy destroy everything in its path while the President sits safely in a situation room and then a story later about how the storm was sparked by a video.
