  • Tri-state Airport & Road Transportation Haulted Again by Storm

    Tri-state area residents in NY, NJ, CT and surrounding areas faced another tumultuous storm. Citizens suffered through Superstorm Sandy, and now a nor’easter. Sandy already destroyed and damaged their homes, but they had at last gotten their power back after about a week of nothing and many were finally able to travel around Connecticut and along the Northeast. Occupants in the area had endured the cold and the dark but were getting some warmth finally. And then the power was stripped from them again.

    Northeast was prepared for another storm

    Northeast residents faced another big hit photoA nor’easter ripped through the same region where homes got flooded, a mass of power outages and extensive damage happened last week, casting the same area in snow – as much as 13 inches in some parts of Connecticut and New Jersey. High winds ranged from 45 to 75 mph in Northeastern states and trembled the already wet and frail trees. Branches collapsed on power lines, making the lights flicker in homes where countless people thought they were finally free of any more darkness. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg had sounded the fear all along. Bloomberg avidly alerted residents Tuesday that damaged areas already hit by Sandy could see more water, wind and now snow, creating new devastation. He strongly advised people to stay inside and get off the roads and they listened. Connecticut and NYC counties airport transportation services were limited in travel but still catered to those needing to get the airport or home.Workers and car service get to work in the nor'easter image

    The good news is that crews and car services in Connecticut and NYC counties were prepared and going at it again this Thursday morning to restore power. The sun is beaming down on the snow, which is helping the ice melt and keeping residents a bit warmer. The bad news, however is the storm is heading up the coast, and residents in Massachusetts will get some major winds coming their way and the storm front is lingering over the northern area of New Hampshire and Maine, delivering some more inches of snow to them.

  • New Jersey Residents Permitted to Vote Via E-mail or Fax

    Hurricane Sandy Makes Citizens Vote by Fax or E-mail imageNew Jersey residents are permitted to vote in Tuesday’s elections via e-mail or fax, since they are in shambles from Superstorm Sandy. This is the first time ever citizens in the state have been consented to vote remotely. Regardless of security concerns and scrutiny, the state feels it will be easier for voters and the workers.

    E-Mail or Fax Votes Allowed for Those Without Transportation

    Due to the flooding and power outages that Superstorm Sandy left residents of New Jersey with, the e-mail or faxing of votes are meant to cater to the victims of Sandy and for the workers helping the non-stop disaster reliefs. The storm sufferers qualify as oversea voters and allows them to vote remotely if they’re not able to find transportation to the polls. Residents still have to fill out a ballot application and it needs to be approved by the county clerk. Once it is approved the county clerk returns it back to the voter who has to return it back before 8 p.m. Tuesday.Transportation around NJ area picture

    Critics argue that there may be hacking involved and that it leaves no paper trail. However, in numerous states online voting is promptly available to military and to U.S. citizens living abroad. Superstorm Sandy has left many New Jersey residents unable to travel, many of which who have had to rely on a car or transportation service to get around, so e-mail or faxing their vote as their best option.
