Heard that it's raining pretty good in Schoharie.

City is here in the Stockade, sweeping the  street and clearing the storm drains of leaves.

Wind is not too bad yet "Upland" but it's very windy down near the river. Whitecaps forming on the water

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Be thankful we dodged the bullet......take a look at NJ......W Va......and the rest of the states effected by this storm...

not just wind , flooding.....but fires.....and they are still rescuing people trapped...

Gov Christie shows his leadership...something that doesn;t exist around these parts...

Heaven forbid, we wouldn't want them stealing back their stuff from the pawn shops.

Mitt Romney refused to answer reporters' questions about how he would handle the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), after a Tuesday "storm relief" event in Ohio for Hurricane
Sandy.

From the Romney pool report:

Quoted Text
"Gov are you going to eliminate FEMA?" a print pooler shouted, receiving no response.

Wires reporters asked more questions about FEMA that were ignored.

Romney kept coming over near pool to pick up more water. He ignored these questions:

"Gov are you going to see some storm damage?"

"Gov has [New Jersey Gov.] Chris Christie invited you to come survey storm damage?"

"Gov you've been asked 14 times, why are you refusing to answer the question?"
