Governor Ron DeSantis Tuesday evening declared a state of emergency over Florida’s gas shortage after “hackers” caused the Colonial Pipeline to shut down.

DeSantis said the state’s Attorney General is on the lookout for price gouging.

According to Fox 13, between 1/3 and 1/2 of gas stations in Florida are out of gas.

Long lines and gas shortages are being reported in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

Panic buying Escambia County caused gas prices to surge:

SKY HIGH GAS PRICES: We’ve received calls into the @weartv newsroom about this #gas station in #EscambiaCounty selling regular gas for $4.29/gallon. Within a minute of our news car showing up, it was dropped to $3.29. Check it out 👇🏼 Are you paying more at the pump? #GasShortage pic.twitter.com/ghyAnQO7f6

Gas shortage and long lines (Biden gas lines) in Quincy, Florida:

Governor DeSantis’ executive order says “the disruption of Colonial Pipeline operations poses a significant and immediate threat to the continued delivery of such fuel products to the State of Florida and many other states located in the Eastern United States,” and the attack “poses a severe threat to the State of Florida and requires that immediate measures be taken to protect and to facilitate the continued delivery of such fuel products to this State, until such time as Colonial Pipeline operations have fully resumed.”

The order will also remove limits on weight for tanker trucks and allows them to travel around the clock.

Meanwhile, the Biden Admin is sitting back and doing nothing after a cyberattack affected gas distribution for 1/3 of the country.

Governor Roy Cooper also declared a state of emergency over North Carolina’s gas shortage.

I'm pretty sure that eventually the supply will recover.

From where? The shutdown of the pipeline has affected the refineries. Without the refineries, you have no gas.

This isn't an aftermath of a natural disaster-type situation, where supply-and-demand should be left alone for things like generators and water bottles. You're talking about a resource that was already being artificially limited.

Me? I've already stocked up on food and supplies in addition to the 1 year's worth of emergency food I already have and have talked to both of my bosses about working from home. This is hunkering down time, we are being dismantled.

People can think I’m crazy if they like, but I am by no means
convinced this was a ransomware event.

This fits too nicely into the green agenda, for me to completely
dismiss it as a planned event for advantage.

This is ALL BY DESIGN.. the Biden cabal made this happen to make America SUFFER. One thing the Biden cabal is SURE to bring to America is SUFFERING and LOTS OF IT. Like all Marxist plots, MAKE THE PEOPLE SUFFER THEN OUT OF DESPERATION THEY WILL COME TO YOU TO BE RESCUED. We are ALREADY seeing this happening with "stimulus" and unemployment payments.

I dunno, it totally undermines the green agenda. Huge reminder we need petroleum, and expensive gas sucks. While it may bot be directly related, highlights the killing of the keystone pipeline as well.

Are we sure the Russians did this or our own people did it? Just like the virus.

You may not be too far off in your suspicions.

From Biden's ‘Build Back Better’ buds at the World Economic Forum:

“Prepping for a cyber pandemic: Cyber Polygon 2021 to stage supply chain attack simulation

Will Cyber Polygon 2021 be as prophetic as Event 201 in simulating a pandemic response?”

“...This year, Cyber Polygon 2021 will simulate a fictional cyber attack with participants from dozens of countries responding to “a targeted supply chain attack on a corporate ecosystem in real time.”

According to the WEF, COVID-19 was known as an anticipated risk, and so is its digital equivalent.

What's more, “A cyber attack with COVID-like characteristics would spread faster and farther than any biological virus. Its reproductive rate would be around 10 times greater than what we've experienced with the coronavirus.”

“It is important to use the COVID-19 crisis as a timely opportunity to reflect on the lessons of cybersecurity community to draw and improve our unpreparedness for a potential cyber pandemic” — Klaus Schwab

Here, we take a look at three trends emerging from Cyber Polygon 2020 to uncover what moves the public and private sectors may make in anticipation of a digital pandemic.

But first, where did the notion of a cyber pandemic come from?...”

Only in lower SE Michigan. I’m in the thumb and we get ours from the refinery in Sarnia, Ontario via a pipeline.

Has nothing to do with energy independence. The supply system is shut down.

Remember Edward Snowden? He was the first to let us know that the 'three letter agencies' have a tool to make a computer attack look like it originated from anywhere they want it to. My PC, your cell phone, Putin's computer, Roger Stone's I-Watch, wherever.

So far, in the central gulf coast of Florida, there has been no shortage or long lines. Yet!
My son, a Computer Science and EE Major as well, is incredulous at how a company with such great responsibility could be so utterly unprepared for such an event.
His opinion is, that when this is finally resolved this company needs to be punished HARSHLY for extreme negligence. I am an old MSEE and I must agree with my son. There is NO EXCUSE for a company with such great responsibility totally unprepared to rapidly deal with such an event. It is pure NEGLIGENCE.
