Many are Still Without Electric in the East





Residents of Long Island, NY are frustrated still without power from hurricane Sandy. Two weeks later after hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast there are still a 1/4 of million without power. Out of the 1/4 of million 170,000 of them are in Long Island.  Having no electric also means no heat or hot water.
New Yorkers are forced to ration gas and they are on their second day of rationing with odd and even days to receive gas. Electric companies are getting a lot of grief for the delay in repairing the electric. Hurricane Sandy killed 120 people and caused $50 billion in damages.
