I think our elected officials need a reality check. Cuomo and Feiner have been bashing Con Ed and other utilities about what they perceive to be "inadequate response" to Hurricane Sandy. I had the opportunity to witness a crew hard at work in Edgemont yesterday. Please note, this is not my neighborhood so there is no bias. They had at least 30 assorted vehicles within a 6 block radius. They were repairing wires, installing transformers, installing poles and most importantly, had cherry pickers (3 on Old Lane alone) cutting back tree branches as a preventative measure from future storms. If this small neighborhood required such a tremendous response, how on earth could anyone believe that there could be enough manpower and equipment to get neighborhoods up and running any sooner than they did. This storm was so much more devastating in terms of wind damage than anyone could have imagined. It ran up and down the eastern shores of the US. While being without power for 8 days is inconvenient, it's amazing given the widespread damage that lights were restored within 8 days. Westchester did get hit hard in terms of power but nothing like the loss being experienced in Staten Island, Queens, Conn., Long Island and of course all throughout New Jersey. I think Con Ed and they support teams have done an outstanding job given the magnitude of the damage. Local officials should stop bashing them and start taking care of their own infrastructure to minimize this type of damage in the future.
