If anyone would like to help out and have the means to do so, please DON’T HESITATE. After this storm passes, they are going to need everyone’s help.

10 day supply of food and medicine for 3000 people, I hope it’s stashed somewhere at the top floor and is accessible by helicopter.

Honest question, where does the staff go after their shifts? Do they set up beds for them somewhere? People obviously can’t drive home in this kind of weather ☹️

The science illiterates and climate/vaccine denialists...? Conflating science fact with conspiracy theories and insufferable trumpian rantings- these people are the extinction level events: THANKS

⚠️Here is a very important announcement for everyone:

Make sure you follow the generator safety tips whenever you use your portable generator. This is just a reminder for everyone’s safety. All generator safety rules need to be followed carefully

Here are the generator safety tips:

1) KEEPING OTHERS SAFE: Please do not allow an unqualified person or your children to operate and service the portable generator. Just because some manuals don’t say that doesn’t mean it’s safe. That is important against the generator safety rules. We also need to be keeping an eye on our children too. You need to make sure that your children are not playing near the portable generator especially when it’s running so they won’t get electrocuted. Generators pose electrical risks and they can be hot during an operation. Please keep your children away from the portable generator at all times. It is important to keep our children safe especially our little ones. Children often get curious about anything so we should keep an eye on them to also make sure they’re not wandering towards the generator.

2) WHERE TO RUN YOUR GENERATOR: Some people use their portable generators indoors which increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have a carbon monoxide if you have a gas generator. Never ever use your generator indoors even if your doors and windows are open and even in the garage is not safe to use a portable generator. Not even at your porch and your deck. It is never safe to use your generator indoors and in enclosed areas of your home. Your generator needs to be 15-20 feet away from your house.

3)🔥FIRE HAZARDS: Never refuel your generator while it’s running. You need to let your generator cool off before refueling it and before storing your generator. Never overload your generator too. Never ever back feed your generator. You should never plug your generator into a wall outlet. Also never store propane tanks indoors. Please keep flammable things away from the generator as well and please don’t smoke cigarettes near the generator. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important against the generator safety rules.

4) GENERATOR OPERATION: make sure your hands are dry before touching the generator. Never use your generator in wet conditions. Don’t let your generator get wet. You need a generator tent if you need to use your generator during wet weather. Please don’t wear loose clothes when operating the generator. Turn on your generator before plugging in appliances. Use the right cord for your generator. Please do not use worn out cords.


Hope this helps. Stay safe everyone

Nothing is safe when it comes to the invisible monster virus...We are all dead unless we can figure out how to "Unite To Fight this Santanic Demon!"

Al Roker Wins!
I was wondering which anchor would stand in a puddle to broadcast from, and NBC's representative got out there in the rain and wind first. 🤪
Broadcasting from inside with windows, or under cover like a hotel drop off area would work just fine, but not for these drama seeking sensationalists!

By putting all the elderly outside? Let mother nature take the blame!#depop
