3. If you are evacuating, bring spare gas!
Perhaps a corollary would be, "If you plan on returning home after an evacuation, bring gas! (Or stash gas at home!)"
I haven't noticed anyone mention this observation on the forum yet, so I'll mention this
article I found. Apparently, there is only a single gas station open in Orange County, Texas, out towards Port Arthur. Must be a lot of Orange County residents anxious about being able to keep their vehicles and generators running.
I'm surprised that the price is only $2.51/gal. Are there any price controls in place now there?
Blast, hope the gas situation is better in your neck of the woods.
