8. Uh, it's a start.

It takes time to move fuel barges into position, especially after the kind of flooding that hit the NYC port areas. 8 million gallons will be of great use, and more is on the way. There are no quick, easy answers to this emergency - only steady improvements.

10. I'm glad they got that much, but it's like an eyedropper of water in an ocean.
