We are over 200 miles from the coast, so it would have to be bad to hit here. I live less than two miles from the nearest fuel station, and have several others within five miles. I usually keep several five gallon cans on hand and rotate them to keep fuel fresh. I keep a few gallons of mid grade for my small engines.
Yep! We were living 200 miles from the coast when Katrina hit and rambled right on up to within 30 miles of us on its way north east. It wiped out the power from the generation stations to the south of us and 99% of the poles carrying the electric lines along its path.
