[QUOTE="dwkennedy, post: 1976535, member: 1717"] Staten Island, being just barely above sea level, was under a [B]mandatory[/B] evacuation order. This lady shouldn't have even been there, she could have easily bugged out before the storm hit (several days warning was given) and living it up in a shelter someplace safe. During the Great Ice Storms that knock out power around here (and therefore my central heat) I crank up my $100 kerosene heater and stay toasty. Not sure why people in the frozen north would not have an alternate source of heat, or a spare blanket, or something. Sometimes old does not equate to wise. Why didn't she ask Schumer for a ride to a shelter, if she was so afraid for her life? Why does she demand that the government put trucks full of generators, gasoline, food and clothes on her corner "right now"?? I think there's an entitlement mentality going on here... Then again, Staten Island is one of the most highly taxed pieces of real estate in the world, so maybe it is reasonable to expect the royal treatment from the government. [/QUOTE]
