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

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.
