Syosset Sends SOS to LIPA

Residents try to flag down the many trucks patrolling the area.

As the amount of power outages in Syosset and Woodbury dwindled to almost a quarter of what they were a week before, residents continued trying to flag down Long Island Power Authority trucks by any means necessary.

This sign, photographed by Grace Kim on Twitter, was found on Jackson Avenue.

"Syosset never would make a sign like this but we need power! #lipa hurry up! We're freezing!" she tweeted along with the photo.

"Saw a sign in Syosset today that said #LIPA Help. Well @LIPAnews? Will you help? While you're at it, help us in Hicksville out too," tweeted Kelsey Ann about the same sign Monday.

As of Tuesday afternoon, just under 3,000 homes were still without power in Syosset and Woodbury, according to LIPA. 1,780 homes in Syosset remained in the dark, while 1,100 were still without power in Woodbury.

We still do not have power in Plainview and we have elderly people who need heat. I wish Lipa would just be open and hones with us as to where they re working and when they will get to our area.

For instance, critical thinking is not about finding fault with people who make noise by using leafRead More blowers, but about an in-depth thinking of goals and values we will achieve by limiting their use. People could earn more quality life and peace of mind by having quiet time in the early morning and the late evening. The value of mental peace is regarded crucial in our life. Critical thinking gives us a process of thinking to get into the depth of the problem. It begins with an analysis of the situation (structure, background, or setting), in which the information of when, where, and who is identified. The information may help set up seasonal differences in restricting hours of leaf blower operation. Further thinking will lead critical thinkers to note the implication of the new ordinance to the business of licensed landscapers. Also, critical thinkers may think about the development of a soundproof leaf blowing machine. Critical thinking helps us to increase and share our common values, rather than tries to find faults with people who make problems.
