[NY65912]

I have been seeing a lot of out of state utility crews on the road headed into NYC and I gotta to say I have been choked up with overwhelming thanks.

There was a Missouri emergency response team headed into the worst hit areas of the hurricane. Last night on the Brooklyn-Queens Expwy there was a convoy of Indiana utility workers on their way in to help. And Friday a convoy of guys from Florida. Those are just the crews I saw.

I wanted to say a huge THANKS to these guys, leaving their families and homes.

Many people would say that New Yorkers are cold and unfeeling. Trust me this is the furthest from the truth. When we see a crew from out of state we wave and say thanks.

Everyone in this great city is pulling together in this crisis, and very appreciative of the help we are receiving from everyone who has traveled so far to lend a hand.

Thanks to all.
