Town Launches 3 Heated Comfort Stations

sorry the shelter at Habor link seemed too far from residential areas, we should place these stations where people might at least be able to walk to them. not everyone has car, those with car should conserve and drive only if necessary.

They're limited to places that have power. The options are probly limited. You're not ENTITLED to "comfort stations" so instead of complaining, be thankful that these exist at all.

what are u thinking . What about ports elderly and persons with disabilities that do not drive or have trouble walking or the sick. These are the persons with the most special needs. I am shocked. I was born and raised in port .I now reside in florida for the past twenty years. You make it sound easy, and it probably is for a person that is healthy strong and has a automobile chain saw and gas cans full of gas for there generators ,and a clear head. Ive seen the destruction in many of our florida counties first hand, I went to help..and put my hand in my pocket and broke my back for all that I could, not even asking for a glass of water, because I knew how upset it would have made them because they didnt even have that. People are very lost in this time of need and all of u couldnt even make arraingments for shelters in needed areas. I sit here shaking my head . What happened to the Port Washington I grew up in..

The good news is that businesses and more importantly restaurants are now open on Main Street in PW. Unfortunately power to the many residents is very spotty.
With temperatures dropping and another storm on it's way, we are all getting really concerned. It is almost time to get some of these folks outta town. If LIPA would be able to give us any local projections, then we could make educated decisions. Our folks still living in my childhoom home (with GREAT neighbors who watch out for them!), STEVE PICK

if anyone is able to access the LIPA website....look for, storm center power outages..... you can see all of long island outages by numbers, Estimated time for service restored and how many crews are assesed and assigned to an area. Most of them assigned are at the end if Long Island . The site is updated every fifteen minutes but to my eyes it looks like time standing still, My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. in the cold blizzard winters I did snow plowing, and manny times was the first tire prints in the snow in port washington . Along with many others whom are still in port, headed out to rescue our customers so they could leave there driveways to start there day. They were so greatful when we showed up to clear a way for them . Alot of times I had to break the bad news that they would only be able to make it to the top of there driveways, all roads were unpassable to them unless they had snow tires chains and four wheel drives. Back then not many had a four wheel drive vehicle. But they did almost always had electric ,to keep them warm, and lights, so they could find there way and if not it was restored quickly.My heart goes out to everyone. You see the next year when it was time to rescue my customers again, and roads were not plowed on the main roads . They smiled and said never again I bought a four wheel drive im good to go...Look out for each other in places you have never reached before....Joe Jr.

The state railway, Deutsche Bahn, operates http://www.outletcoachstoday.com what it calls - using the English that http://www.coachoutletod.com infuriates language purists - a Call a Bike scheme. http://www.coachs-outletcar.com There is a bank of red bikes outside the station. On the bike, http://www.coachoutletdp.com there's a telephone number which you call, and http://www.coachoutletwo.com the voice at the other end gives you a code to http://www.coachfactoryoutletsp.com unlock the bike.When you've finished, you lock it http://www.coachfactoryoutletli.net to something fixed and call the number with a code and somebody picks it up. http://www.coachfactoryoutletce.org You will be charged eight cents a minute.But most of us have our own bikes. We http://www.coachoutletonlinelc.net do not wear helmets. It is foolish, but we don't. I always mean to - but I http://www.coachoutletonlinesc.com don't. I realise that the brain is man's second favourite organ - but I still http://www.coachoutletonlinelsa.com leave my helmet behind.There is an argument now that if cities insist on http://www.louisvuittonoutletct.com helmets for bike-hire schemes, then people simply don't ride bikes. And if http://www.louisvuittonoutletti.org people don't ride bikes, then they're less fit and that means that more of them http://www.coachoutletrf.com die of heart-attacks.On this argument, insisting on helmets raises the overall death.
