Gov. Andrew Cuomo critical of RG&E's windstorm response
Governor Andrew Cuomo asked for an investigation into Rochester Gas and Electric Corp.’s emergency preparedness Saturday, saying he was “displeased” with the company’s performance after last week’s windstorm left thousands without power.

“I don’t consider three days to restore power an adequate response plan. I want to know what happened,” he said. “The pattern of extreme weather is to be expected, and utility companies have an added burden today of being ready for emergency situations.”

Andy....take your comments back to Albany and sit on them. Like you have ever worked a hard day in your privileged life!...Major storms bring major events that cause major difficulties. And you sir coming to Rochester with your criticism at a time when people are busting their butts to turn things around is the last thing our community needs!...You're just trying to buy votes and it isn't working!...Zip it!!

3 days? Andy forgot to issue a memo of necessity.

I wish all my past outages last only 3 days.

When I saw it affected Buffalo to Rochester I knew it was bad. A regional event. Temperature was also the most extreme cold for an event like this.

National Grid should be added to the list

Hey Andrew. Suck the peanuts outta my shit you fuckin soft handed, manicured, soft ass douchebag. You want shit done faster? Get off your lazy fuckin ass and help the fuck out. You can crawl your baby powdered little ass up those poles in freezing temps and high winds and get it done you miserable fuck. You really like making friends don't you? Please make my dream come true when someday you need my help and I piss in your eye and laugh as I walk away. Dickhead.

I thought the wind storm was caused by Cuomo opening his big mouth.
