If the power is out, where are they going to get the fuel from? Modern gas pumps need electricity. This is going to be a bigger disaster due to incompetence.

I can't disagree about that last -- it's usually the case. Those Japanese reactors in the tsunami are a perfect example.

As for fuel, though, one would surely hope the Nat'l Guard would have some gravity feed or manual pump type fuel tanks.

Hope they already have electric generators running those pumps because gravity feed or hand cranked pumps take much longer to unload that fuel.
Now multiply that with thousands of people waiting in line for fuel just for generators.... it's going to be a mad house for sure.
