I am NOT kidding. Good thing that contract was cancelled. Who is taking over though? Gov Cuomo offered tons of electricians, etc when that happened but no word about what has happened with that. Once the Red Cross FEMA medical ship figured out that they would have more than 7 out of 700 beds filled if they actually pulled into port they have been filled with people who are actually getting help without having to swim out to the ship.

Either CBS or NBC; I watched portions of both.

About the failure of a power line recently installed,
and FEMA offering to fly residents to New York or Florida for resettlement.

Guess you missed it.
