Nine days without power. Many of us had generators but they had to be used only a few hours a day because gas was impossible to get. And it got cold the past several days. There were only one or two gas stations with gas so the wait was 2 to 3 hours. Most of us waited on gas lines that were exclusively for people with 5 gallon gas cans. We waited in the cold and had to walk long distances carrying them back to our parked cars. It was tragic seeing old people and mothers with children struggling with this situation. It is now 11 days later and most people on LI have power, although there are still pockets that don't. What has not improved is the gas shortage.
