The Truth About Staten Island: It's In Much Better And Way Worse Shape Than You Realize en-us Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 08:40:07 -0400 Rob Wile Maia Gadapee Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:13:02 -0500 Yes, sigurado jud.

WHR Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:01:15 -0500 I hope you learn basic English before you post again. eeterrific Sun, 04 Nov 2012 19:40:00 -0500 Wow, there was a serious hurricane along a coastline and there was serious damage to buildings and facilities that were.....along the coastline. I'm shocked. If you live along a coast you should expect damage if there's a hurricane. If you live in the mountains among forests, and there's a forest fire, you should expect damage. Why are people so surprised?? explain this Sun, 04 Nov 2012 19:37:24 -0500 Where is the news on Staten Island lootings? Do we need an Arab Spring to get some truth out of you? Pretty Minor Sun, 04 Nov 2012 15:53:24 -0500 From THESE pictures, it looks like pretty minor damage. Should be cleaned up in a few days. ed Sun, 04 Nov 2012 13:36:26 -0500 "It ended up taking us about two hours" The island is like a 10x10 mile square, let's put it that way, and it took you TWO hours to go TEN miles, snapped some pictures of few houses, talked to a few people to conclude that "It's In Much Better And Way Worse Shape Than You Realize." The water came in then came out, you just didn't see the inside and did not travel enough to see it all. Your article and 21-photo photo album are misleading about the enormous disruption to everyone's life. Mr Thrifty Sun, 04 Nov 2012 12:24:29 -0500 I don't understand why these people in Staten Island are raising such a ruckus. Most of them are from Zone A complaining they are being "ignored". They don't belong there. They were ordered to evacuate to shelters set up for them. Instead, they are demanding that the government and Red Cross deliver services to (what's left of) their street.. One guy I saw on TV wants the government to come clean up the junk around his house RIGHT AWAY!! Seriously? They can't go anywhere because their cars are flooded out? Why? Again, they didn't evacuate when they were ordered to. What am I missing here? If you made a bad choice, suck it up. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Joe Scamolla Sun, 04 Nov 2012 12:13:40 -0500 Some have suggested that we build berms, and flood control systems such as those in London and Holland. Instead, we need to impose a 20% carbon tax on everything, immediately. That way the UN and Al Gore will make the bad weather go away.
