On Twitter, there are widespread reports about fistfights and people bringing guns to gas stations, thanks to gas shortages in New York and New Jersey. Some on Twitter are also reporting that law enforcement has been stationed around many gas stations to prevent incidents:

Oh, I almost forgot..the generator.

Himself got the DirecTV running so we didn’t get bored and kill each other.

;D

Up here in western NY southeast of Rochester. No problems.

I saw a pic today of the NYFD putting out a fire people had built in a BBQ grill to stay warm.
I was stunned.

[Salamander]

Oh, and Apple.

I was FReeping on my iPad courtesy of a personal hot spot on my iPhone.

Thank God for cigarette lighter chargers.

;D

[Salamander]

Wow.

Now that’s just cold.

/sorry

Small comfort tho it may be, you'll be in our thoughts, GLA !

..tomorrow i will be putting protest signs against Con Ed up on the telephone pole...

Are you sure they aren't going to skip your block and go on to the next when they see that? Doesn't seem wise.

LOL! ☺

I thought it was pretty effed up.

[Salamander]

LOLOL

they already said next weekend!! i live amidst a bunch of liberal complainers- rule of thumb around here is squeaky wheel gets the oil...

[steve86]

Of course those Chevy Volt owners are just zipping around laughing at the folks in the gas lines right?

Well, for the first 40 miles or so.

I'm actually keeping a Vespa-like electric scooter around just for that kind of situation. It charges nicely off the solar panels -- but not in the winter!!! Trick is to have enough charge to ride it somewhere that it can be charged normally, or off the generator.

[God luvs America]

should also add everyone around us is back up- thats whats really pissing everyone in our three street area off...

[steve86]

OK, good luck and stay safe. Glad you have relatives nearby.

[mylife]

I suppose they are on the hook for fires, but they could have turned a blind eye.

It was out in the street, not beside a building or anything.

[mylife]

I did not know Vespa ever made electric scooters.

[steve86]

I said Vespa-like. It is an Italian Oxygen.
