Hurricane Sandy

[ArlowCT]

I wonder why there are long gas lines when there was plenty of time before the storm to top up car gas tanks and lay in cans of fuel?

I'm in northern central CT, not a place that was expecting a direct hit. The gas stations around me sold out of gas on Friday, three days before the storm it. Most were refueled and sold out again by Sunday night. People around this area over prepared, it's amazing what 10-15 days without power over the last year will do to people.

I wish the best to all that were in the path of this beast, from the tropics to the Great Lakes my thoughts are with you!

Ouch. Very sorry to see that. Hope everyone was ok around there.

Hmm. Restoration might need a few more parts.

Teri-Ann,

These gas lines really couldn't be avoided, I myself filled up about 20 gallons into all of my gas can as well as topping my cars off, and when your generator burns 8+ gallons a day with a 4 hour break at night, that will lastabout 2.5 days in to the 10 day outage before you have to go back out, and that's besides the fact that the world is going on so I had to drive 30 miles each way to work. Luckily I don't live in a place where there was a fuel problem but where I worked there was long lines, but unless I have a 100 or 250 gallon tank to hold fuel I am pretty stuck if I can't get more gas.
