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, those who remember will be more prepared in the future. But the average person can be only so prepared for gas shortages.
