Where are the FEMA Gas Tanker Trucks dispersed strategicly throughout Wayne dispensing gasoline in areas without power? How about FEMA trailers for victims whose houses are uninhabitable and for the elderly? Oh, I forgot, Barry promised he'd do everything needed to help victims of this natural disaster--except provide actual help to the victims.
Typical Barry, you can tell he's lying -- if his lips are moving and sounds are coming out of his mouth.

Gov Christie doesn't seem to agree with you. Not that our power outage doesn't suck, but when I look at the empty foundations where houses WERE and the smoldering heaps where again houses WERE, I have to blame myself for not getting gas on Sunday like I should have. I'm on E too. If waiting in a two hour gas line is what I have to do........so be it....

Who we voting for next election looks like Sandy was the only one capable of getting things done,.
Thumbs down for Governor and JCPL

Christie talking about this right now http://www.livestream.com/governorchrischristie

1-800-621-FEMA. You can speak to a rep who will get all of your information and a FEMA rep will come to you to look at your damage. You may also receive emergency monies to purchase food, medications, formula, etc.

Parsippany Mayor Barberio is at Anthony Francos right now eating.....

How can you possibly start bad-mouthing the power companies or the government (state, federal, local, whatever) for the response up to this point? Take a look at all of the damage - this will not get fixed overnight.

Why are people filling their tanks two days after the storm? The roads haven't been open long, so they obviously haven't been driving much.

Was there that many people that were too lazy to fill up on Monday, knowing a big storm was coming?

Seems like a lame law; Gas Stations are not to be able to buy fuel over the state line but you as a driver can drive over the line and buy gas.Maby Romney can correct this problem too!

Love all these folks whining. Guess THEIR lack of planning was the Govrnors fault too. You had plenty of warning this was coming, but of course ,adopted the "it won't be so bad" attitude and made little if any contingency preparations. You are looking for the government to bail your stupid ass out. I'm a bit old school, which means, I look out for myself and my neighbors. I rely on NO ONE but myself. If things go to hell, can only blame yourself if you didn't have the intelligence to prepare.

I don't think it is a matter of being lazy for most of us it is just individual circumstances. We bought only one gas can for our generator we purchased because my husband has medical needs without realizing it might take days. Even though We did plan ahead just didn't realize I should have gotten extra gas cans .

We were told 7-10 days without power, that was the warning going around.

I don't even have a generator and I have more gas than that around. Could always siphon 10 gallons from your car, that would last days.

Well, there won't be an excuse next time. Be prepared at all times, and especially when a HUGE storm is forecast.

No power, no gas, no generator. I know from experience. I live in Galveston Texas. I rode out Ike in my house. Fema gas trucks are limited. They are providing gas for emergency and recovery vehicles. Get together, pull your resources and find your compromise. My family lives in Martinsville. This is going to take awhile. My heart goes out to all. I have been in the same boat.

Just a little 500.00 generator hot wired to the pumps could get the gas flowing.

In all this craziness, there's also acts of generosity and kindness. I went with my two young boys to fill our gas can up for the generator another very generous friend had lent us since they didn't lose power. Standing in line in the dark, the boys got cold. A very generous man said to go take the boys inside the gas station to stay warm and he will fill my small gas can! He did, and wouldn't take the money it cost to fill it. Thank you to ALL the people who are helping friends, neighbors in this trying time. There are many, and their acts of kindness are not going unnoticed or appreciated!,,

So what gas stations are actually open with gas? Exxon on rt 23 south by willowbrook had long line last night and is closed this AM.

Mitt Romney came out and was spoon feeding us caviar yesterday by the water. It was mahvuhluss, simply mahvuhluss. Who neeeds gas when we've got jet fuel?

Romney wants to eliminate FEMA as the go to agency. He wants to put the cost of assisting in emergencies back in the States balance sheets. I think FEMA is essential. It does so much more than provide emergency food, shelter and medical care, but if an Insurance Company refuses to insure a property, why should FEMA? FEMA stop granting Insurance to anyone in a flood zone. If you cannot afford to rebuild why should it be paid for by taxpayers.

Is Washington Twp going to pick up tree limbs if they're put at the curb? Last storm they did. Just curious and would like to know before we put them out.

@ Flood Plain you sir(or madam) are a moron. How can you blame this on Obama? Can we go through recovery and get situated again before you people start on your racist/biased rants against OUR commander and chief? If you blame anyone it starts with our LOCAL gov't not going through proper preparations after Irene and the snow storm last year. Our systems are built to old specs, not specs conducive to withstanding hurricanes. Second, PSE&G which is an effing joke, seems like they have no plan of action. By all accounts they are scattered about NJ "assessing" damage. I have not seen a PSE&G truck yet. There is no way this is Obama's fault. And honestly, I doubt Mitt would handle this better. Let's not forget Bush's fly-over during Katrina. I don't trust a republican as far as I can punch one

A lack of power is due to 1. The catastrophic storm 2. The electric companies. Even Gov Christie announced that the current fines of $100 per day aren't enough to entice these companies to be "storm ready". You really think PSE&G cares about $100 a day? And if the electricity was back on, more gas stations would be open and people wouldn't have such a high demand to keep their generators running. State officials have already stated the electric companies have failed to comply with state mandates to be prepared for emergency situations. Why not ask Christie and the rest of the NJ bureaucrats why the bill to ACTUALLY fine these guys is just sitting there and hasn't been passed?

Makes going solar to achieve some real personal energy independence sound a bit better

You people with the political comments make me sick. Who cares Republican or Democrat...we need fuel.....instead of wasting time with your stupid comments, tell me where or when we can expect to get fuel?????

Can you say Mad Max?

How about a law requiring stations to have a generator to run at least some of their pumps? They certainly have the fuel to run them! Make the oil companies - not the station owner - pay for it: they can truly afford it.
You can be sure we will find ourselves in this situation again.

Why oh why are so many people always relying on the government to take care of them??? We all got plenty of warning this mega storm was coming and I for one battened down the hatches and prepared. Remember Katrina?? I'm not rich, I don't have 10 big gas cans but I got as ready as I could and I'm not going to whine or blame the governor or president for the inconvenience we have to deal with after a natural disaster. I am grateful I still have a home and my heartfelt sympathies to those who lost theirs. Less moaning and more pulling together people!

I can only blame Christie our ambitious Governor and a lax PSE&G.....
Gas situation is predictable and "slim" was unprepared and PSE&G because I haven't seen one truck anywhere but plenty of gas lines...
Thumbs down and finger up to the Governor and PSE&G

Kirk I bet you are part of the 50% who pay no taxes and also want govt to do everything for them.

There's now a map of open gas stations: Mappler.net/gasstation

If you know about a station that's not listed, you can tweet it to @dzoraida06 and they will put it up.

Schabadoo you are one of the free loaders.

Ventured out from top of middle valley rd on Califon rdright on pleasant grove rd left down Schooleys Mtn rd into hackettstowbwhere I saw huge line to station by diner by old skate rink. Hasting square residences n business full power... Most fast food open, went to ATM by Marshall's n saw a few cars fueling up... They said they were waiting but clearly pumping gas,one man said he swiped his cc and it comes out very slowly. There was something hokey about it... No attendants???i decided to go on the other line by diner but just then the station I was leaving hot flooded n I was pushed in opposite direction. I thought there might be gas at Exxon at naughright, no n I found budd lake a ghost town ......made it to Netcong heights gave relative food n money n now headed further on 46 into ledgewood Succasunna ...Shoprite fully open!
Got in gas line 45 cars at ten they ran out of gas. Cops told me go ahead to Exxon, I was on e now.... That line Fifty cars deep cops said they have only a little gas and park the car somewhere because you'll have to wait for morning delivery at five!.... Ten more hours ??? Freeze in car? I prayed n went through town to 206 south past Bartley rd, to Chester. Dq open all shops have lites no gas anywhere , took 24 into long valley all the way to Califon Exxon next to A&p, no gas! Up sliker road on home stretch to middle valley ...... Home on fumes,

Moral of story is by the time you hear a place has gas, they'll be out of gas

The last time we had gas lines like this was when Jimmy Carter was president. Obama is finished unless he gets fuel to the tri-state area pronto. He talks about FEMA giving out Pampers and crap. Get us fuel and we will find what we need. Stores are open but you can't get there without fuel. FEMA, bring in fuel and generators for gas stations.

Hey Bellaire if Bush were president would you be saying it's the governor? I don't think so!

Everyone is on edge. Everyone is fed up. We planned the best we could. It sucks not to have power or gas but if you have a roof over your head and your family is safe...you're a step ahead.

Gasoline should only be given to those with automobiles who have a priority such as work, or school. Not to those with gas cans who want to go run their generators so they can waste gasoline doing what? Reading a book with the living room light on, watching TV? Microwave some fattening food? We will all survive with out power for a few weeks. Stop being a bunch of whining assholes and use the excuse to start a diet, eat healthier. Etc... We have our military over seas with out power surviving just fine.

This is America bla bla let's rebuild bla bla. Leave all the emotional political bull shit for Hollywood, and let's come together, relax, and move forward.
