Friend was in NJ the past few days as her brother had an emergency heart situation (surgery postponed 24 hours because the hospital was on generator).
Said she waited 90 minutes in one of the shorter gas lines but was limited to $20 worth and it had to be cash.
I wonder how much gas she burned getting gas.
Sandy will be remembered for a long time. Hopefully, because those who remember should be more prepared in the future. But the average person can be only so prepared for gas shortages.
Though I am sure a lot of people did not heed the warnings and did not fill their car gas tanks before the storm hit. It makes me wonder though how many people who may of had a good amount of gas are now getting caught up in gotta have it fever? Meaning they watch the news and see these lineups and think that they better go get more gas "before it is all gone."
