NYC area people - can you help?

ETA: Her facebook post says she is posting near Seaside, NY. I know that facebook messes up location often, but if that's correct, then I think they are in Queens.

An old friend from law school, who is one of the sweetest girls I ever met, just made the facebook post below. I have no idea what area they live in, and they might even be out in the burbs. I haven't followed which areas were hit the hardest. A previous post said that first floor apartments are entirely ruined and that most people lost their cars.

I'm all the way down in GA, but if I were in driving distance I'd help in a heartbeat. Could someone in the area take gas to them so they can get out? She has a husband and two little boys, and the situation just sounds so miserable.

The only way I have to contact her is through facebook and I don't know how often she is checking, but I already sent her a message asking what area she's in so I can see if I can find someone to bring them gas. If you are willing to help, I might get your phone number so I can call or text when I hear from her, since I have no idea when that will be.

Here is her post:

There's still no gas in the city so we are still trapped here. Jahanzeb had been driving around trying but its useless. Hopefully by this weekend gas will be available. Everybody's stuff is rotting in piles in the streets. It stinks. Imagine the aftermath of Katrina and this is it. lots of people still here, but No one tells us anything. Army helicopters fly over but no one is coning by offering h
elp. our landlords are mia and dont have the common sense to come and air ths building out so it can dry. im worried it will br condemned if they dony act quickly and how will we get our stuff out? worried about looters. Cops drive around at night but its still scary. I'm terrified the stupid electric company is going to turn on the power and we will burn down because the first floor is still wet. I don't whether we will have to move or when or if power will ever come back on. Weeks? Months? We are warm and have plenty of food and water still. Please pray for us.

Thank you to all who have called and written. I have not had a chance to listen to messages or read mails bc I need to conserve power bc power is gone and we have no idea when it will return, but I am posting on here so this reaches you all. We are safe. We are high up, have plenty of resources and, once the tunnels and highways are open again, we are going to stay with family in MA who were not f
looded thank God. jahanzeb is staying here bc he has to work. There are lots of people still staying in the higher apartments as well. The winds were never the problem out here because we were not in its direct path, but the floods have destroyed the homes of anyone with a first floor apartment or home. We live by the sea so the water retreated in hrs unlike other places in the city. I rescued 8 people caught in the water, including a 5 month old baby and a 10 year old boy. Every car on the island is destroyed and somewashed down the street. We parked in tiered garages so ours are ok. The boardwalk is gone. Most people have lost everything. Some places burned down. It was like the zombie apocalypse out here. No rescue people came to help until today. aBut today police and fire started helping people and they started clearing debris. Police are stationed at the corners tonight to prevent looters. Thank you all for your concern and will return phone calls later.
