Talkbacks US Northeast back to business after Sandy's hard hit

....it's not going to be back to business anytime soon. The subway system is paralyzed. Salt water has covered and flooded all the electrical equipment. Water is high and sewage is probably not going anywhere because of the flooding. This tends to make the lower floors of skyscrapers the cesspool of the building..... as water backs up into the lower floors toilets and bathtubs spilling over. Garbage doesn't move....which can back up inside the building as well as outside the building. Electricity may not be restored...which makes climbing 50 floors of stairwells very convenient with groceries that are non-existant in sold out stores. If you can swim the subway system or catch one of 4000 cabs......maybe you can shop for groceries in stores with no groceries anymore. This mess....isn't over by a long shot.
