CNN: Florida Gas Stations Are Running Out of Fuel as Hurricane Milton Approaches

EXCERPT:

EGAN: “People are running out of time to get out of the way of the hurricane and some of these gas stations are running out of fuel. So as of 11:00 p.m. last night roughly one in five gas stations across Florida had no fuel. That amounts to just over 1,600 gas stations. And this is an even bigger problem, as you can imagine, in some of the areas that are facing evacuation orders. In the Fort Myers region, roughly a third of the gas stations last night were out of fuel, and almost half of the gas stations in the Tampa region had no fuel. Now, GasBuddy says that fuel is flowing but the stations are just having a hard time keeping up with all of this demand from 1) people evacuating, and 2) for people filling up tanks because they want to be able to power their generators. The best bet if you're looking for fuel right now are to go to the major travel stops or the big chains.”
