I agree, I didn't think it would have much hope but I find myself tuning in every episode to see what'll happen next.

Hughonsville sent members, there's somewhat of a list in the Sandy thread if you want to pick them out of there. Currently utility trucks are being loaded onto C-130's from Southern California and are en route to NY as soon as the apparent fog lifts out there.

FEMA, at least for NYC, has said they will be giving 100% reimbursements for emergency services. Not sure if that's region wide or just for the city though

NYC/Westchester are slowly starting to get their mass transit systems back online. Metro North is running on an hourly schedule on the lower Harlem Line (North White Plains-Grand Central). Grand Central re-opened to the public at 2 pm, Newark and JFK each re-opened to flights on a limited basis at 7:00 am this morning and NYC subway is getting back into operation. The 7,B,C,E,G,Q trains are all still suspended but the F,J,A and M trains are running with limited service. For continuous updates follow Gov. Cuomo on twitter. https://twitter.com/NYGovCuomo

JFK and Newark will both be re-opening in the morning with limited service. LaGuardia is closed until further notice

Thanks for the info! I was curious to know how that worked.

Yonkers firefighters battled 3 blazes, responded to 500 alarms; man killed in car accident http://www.lohud.com/article/20121030/NEWS02/310300059/Yonkers-firefighters-battled-3-blazes-responded-500-alarms-man-killed-car-accident?odyssey=mod%7Cnewswell%7Ctext%7CFrontpage%7Cs&gcheck=1&nclick_check=1

I have seen several Fire Depts. and EMS agencies deploying to NYC and Long Island from upstate to help out but I know there's been a lot of discussion about who can go due to training standards. For this sort of thing, are these departments being requested by FDNY or are they just voluntarily planning on showing up? If these people are just showing up un-announced, will they be turned away due to them not having the same training standards or will their help be accepted and be put to work? p.s. Chief Munson, still on for that volleyball game? ;-)

Here's a video of the Breezy Point fire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88ucQzm1RS4&feature=player_embedded

The storm is picking up again. There's another band bringing extremely high winds and rain that's projected to last until 2 am

NYU Hospital is reportedly evacuating all of its patients as its second back up generator has failed. Update: patients were evacuated to Sloan Kettering and Mt. Sinai hospitals. Major credit goes out to the staff/ambulance and EMT's as they saved SEVERAL lives tonight.

Yonkers is working a 2 alarm, stay safe guys! It's gonna be a wild one down there! Danbury just had the roof blown off of an apt building. 847, 161 people in NY alone without power... and counting! according to TWC RFK bridge just recorded a wind gust of 100 mph, they are shutting down the bridge right now! Sandy is no longer a Hurricane but we're now dealing with her wrath FDNY Swift Water Rescue is responding to Queens Engine 206 firehouse due to members of the company trapped in the firehouse This storm just turned deadly in NY. A man has been found after being struck by a tree on 166th st. As if Yonkers doesn't have enough issues, they're operating an mva with ejection on the sprain by Jackson Ave. They have Greenville o/s as mutual aid. Car into tree and another in the woods.

Danbury has a structure fire and apparently one of the ff's actually ventured up onto the roof to cut a ventilation hole despite the wind. Doubt that helps you at all, haha.
