    As you guys know, I'm in VA...

    The Governor has called a "State of Emergency" - I went out at 7:30 this morning to fill up (had about a 1/4 of a tank left), and the first place I tried was totally OUT of gas - It was a BP station near me...

    I decided to take a chance and try the Kroger near me, and lo and behold, they had gas - But they were totally out of the "Premium" grade - Only had 87 and 89 grade available - I filled up, thinking that if Hubby couldn't find any "Premium" he could at least drive my car to work.

    Since I'm retired, it will only affect me going back and forth to church, BUT he has to get to work, so there's that.

    You should be OK.

    Most of Florida's fuel is delivered from the Gulf Coast refineries by ship, so experts say the state should remain well supplied despite the pipeline outage.
    Florida should remain well supplied with gas following Colonial Pipeline hack, AAA says

    That being said, the hoarders are out in force. I was at HD today and some guy was looking for lucas fuel treatment to keep gas fresh, turns out he also has an attic full of toilet paper. I didn't call him a jerk, to his face.

    Maryland is still business as usual though we're already seeing some panic buying.

    On the upside...


    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (WTLV) — The man accused of shooting two women and a toddler in New York City's Time Square on Saturday was detained near Jacksonville.

    Farrakhan Muhammad was found and taken into custody at a McDonald's located at 802 South Walnut Street in Starke, according to NBC affiliate WTLV. He was found in his car when it ran out of gas due to gas station closures in Florida, Spectrum News NY1 reports.

    Hopefully it'll be enough when we go to FL next Thursday. We can get from Atlanta to Venice just having to get gas once.
