There are even now reports of more Hospitals such as Bellevue Hospital Centre being evacuated within New York, which were previously using backup generators, which would suggest a lack of fuel which is unable to make its way into the city, although the news report is suggesting ongoing flooding where the generators are located in the hospital basement.
=================================
Bingo. Every hurricane I can remember there have been hospitals that had generators in the basement, and every time everyone clucks at how dumb that was, and with the next hurricane it happens again. The operating license system may have to be changed to stop this.


Piers Morgan was ranting on and on about the hospital losing power,comparing it to The JPMORGAN building (was that the one?) that had blazing lights.

Its one thing to keep lights on there,try powering a hospital,and not all hospital circuits are powered by backup,only the red plugs.

Finally,hosps are on life support as far as money goes,JPM is not,by a long shot. They dont have the money to upgrade infrastructure,much as a lot of the Country has infrastructure repairs needed but no money.
