Default 2.2 million without power, in the northeast

No sense in taking money from working people by force, and
giving it to people just account of a storm.

I think you need immediate federal aid. A couple million
to
start.


We were without power for 24 hrs. Many in 07410 and
surrounding still are.
In my estimation tree damage compares to Irene, but most
trees didn't come
down - just many smaller and bigger branches. Some trees
are likely too
damaged to survive. We only had 4-5 inches total, and less
was on the
ground at the end, but the damage is indeed bad. Many power
lines down
because of fallen tree branches.
While asking for federal aid has been bantered about in NJ,
I'm not sure
that will be necessary. I think that federal aid is mostly
(low cost)
loans, and other than spoiled food and lost sales, most
damage is in being
without power or from tree loss, not something for federal
aid IMO.
