94 Days After Sandy 1900 Homes are Still Without Heat, Power and Water

There are still more than 1900 homes in New York and New Jersey that are without utilities of any kind in the prolonged wake of Superstorm Sandy.

Some families are getting assistance from FEMA and going to hotels, which they must leave every two weeks, go and apply for more vouchers and then check back in to the hotel.

Others are sleeping in tents.

Still others have remained in storm damaged homes without electricity, water or heat.

I have to meet with the demo guys tomorrow.
The place was reparable but they are closing down our area so everything must go. And insurance is balking at paying, Looks like we will be suing.
Lucky, it was just a vacation "room". The real home is fine. just minor repairs.
