I heard a story from a LIPA lineman who was working in Rockaways, up on a pole with a power tool. He loses power to his drill and comes to find his generator got lifted!! Right out from underneath his crew's noses!! I guess that slowed down the "getting the power back on" process for a bit......
Color me unimpressed. Sounds like a few people with wrecked homes had some things stolen (or washed out to sea, who knows), and everyone flipped the F out about it. I'm sure the number of people who had things stolen is > 0 but hardly a big problem, unless they're en mass just not reporting it to the police FOR SOME REASON:
Quote:
Nassau police spokesman Kenneth Lack said police have seen a small uptick in the theft or attempted theft of generators and gas. Both Nassau and Suffolk police report that overall, crime for the week surrounding the storm is down from last year.
