At the same time I am both looking forward to returning to NYC tomorrow, but also a little scared of the damage to the city and my building. I feel guilty for having escaped on vacation almost two weeks ago, enjoying the perfect weather of southern California. Definitely a weird group of emotions going on here.
- yeah but NYC is still having marathon... we are resilient.74LEO
- be safe mate,

Drove to South Jersey today to scoop up my folks and bring them back to Brooklyn where I have power, they've had none since Tuesday night - it was insane to see cars in a line, miles long, trying to get gas on the parkway. Over 100 people waiting with red gas containers to fill up too... not my video but that's what I saw... holy shit.

Typical Romney Republican Fear-Mongering Response
The congressional campaign manager who confessed to spreading falsehoods on Twitter during Hurricane Sandy has resigned from Christopher Wright's New York City congressional campaign.
Shashank Tripathi, under the guise of his Twitter handle @ComfortablySmug, sent out several pieces of misinformation during the worst of the storm Monday.He is being blamed for spreading the now-widely debunked rumor that the New York Stock Exchange trading floor had been flooded with 3 feet of standing water. The rumor was eventually picked up by CNN and New York Magazine until NYSE officials shot it down.
In a message on his Twitter account late Tuesday, Tripathi apologized and offered his resignation on Wright's House campaign for the 12 th congressional district.Tripathi was first outed by BuzzFeed.
"I wish to offer the people of New York a sincere, humble and unconditional apology," Tripathi wrote. "During a natural disaster that threatened the entire city, I made a series of irresponsible and inaccurate tweets."
Other rumors included a false report that power would be shut down in all of Manhattan and that the New York subway would be closed for the entire week.
Tripathi has written for a finance blog for the Stone Street Advisors hedge fund under the same pseudonym, "ComfortablySmug."
Tripathi has been paid thousands of dollars as a consultant to the Wright campaign, according to BuzzFeed.Wright's campaign said in a statement that Tripathi's resignation was accepted and the chief of staff, Nick Mackey, will replace him as campaign manager.

A $5,000 Shopping Run to Walmart Turned Romney's Campaign Stop into a 'Relief Event'

Dear Northeast,
Wow, is your week about to suck. Potentially it will continue to suck for many months. But ultimately you'll come out of it okay. People find a way. You will become very resourceful, you'll bond with your friends and neighbors in ways you never expected, and you'll have a lot of love and help from the rest of us from far away, too.
...All that said, I hope you're ready for a fight. There might be some who tell you that whatever happens was punishment from God, that you're an idiot for living where you live, that your home should be abandoned. There will be people who tell you that it's your own damn fault. They'll say that you should have known, that you deserved this misery, that the rest of us shouldn't be responsible for taking care of you, that you are not worth saving. So stop your whining already.
Well, to hell with them. Be safe. And if you need to, call us when you get to the other side. You can stay with us as long as you need to. Because when the shit flies, we are all responsible for each other. It's the only way to survive.
This is what they said about us, remember, but we are and always will be resilient, just like you...
