I was listening NJ101.5 FM today regarding the weather in NJ . 20 - 25 ( 29 inches some places) of snow and 50 - 60 mph winds . Nothing surprise as it is expected in advance, though it is worst in 14 yrs. 100's motorists stuck on the high ways for 6 to 13 hours, governor Left to disneyland on sunday, Lt. Governor is no where to be traced, and senate leader to be the acting Governor. No Money for Cleanup, No national guard to help out. Lt. Governor. didn't even contacted the Governer. except his office, despite the state of emergency. Official word is "Some body will get to you, when will they will". sounds like a 3rd world country.
What is most concerting is the people who call and complain.
- Some people call and complain of the 'people who are stuck' saying they should not be on the streets and it is their fault.
- One guy from staten island ( adjacent Burrough from new york ) complaining that he was stuck on garden state park for 13 hrs and no body even came to talk and people are leaving the cars and other stuck like ANIMALS. The guy from radio retorts back saying that "you are from another state and a interloper and we are capable of criticising our selves". Sounds like a state citizen politics, but it says how insensitive people can become even during the worst circumstances.
The only bright part of it , DOT employees are using their own resources to help people out. Roads are really not that bad , it is only pretty inconsistent conditions due to the winds. NJ has seen much worser than this. But some thing is cooking here. It looks like conditioning the people for some thing worse.
