Can you not go out and FIND some gas?
That's what the rest of us are doing.

The word is that in Jefferson Parish and Orleans, FEMA has "bugged out." They haven't brought supplies in.
THE REAL MILITARY IS NOW FLOWING IN. National Guard is being replaced before our eyes. Watch the feed.
Word is that the Marines are at 1515 Poydras where our OC4s are. I think we're coming back online in force shortly.
On another note: I've just been told that we're being monitored in Iraq! To all the troops there, from one soldier to another, we're hanging tough here and you hang tough too. No matter what you're hearing, we love you guys and want you to know that we know how hard you've got it. Stay strong!

Yesterday morning I went to a gas station at 4:30 am. I waited in line until 7:45 when the station ran out of gas. I went to work. When I left work, I went to another gas station and waited on line for over 2 hours. Before I got to turn in to the station, they ran out of gas. The few gas stations here that have gas are being guarded by police and there is at least a 3-hour wait. If you don't have enough gas to wait, you are out of luck. They will not allow you to fill a gas can. People are getting into knife, fist, and gun fights in these gas lines. The nearest gas station is about 7 miles from my house but the pumps aren't working because there is no power. I guess it's pretty easy to criticize people when you are not affected personally.
