I’m not going to fault Christie for trying to implement a plan to cut down on long lines. The last few days have been hell back there.
Hopefully a few weeks of this and things will return somewhere near normal as far as gasoline supply go.
After what I've seen for the last few days, I'm now convinced that a hurricane is the worst type of disaster a region like this can face. The biggest problem is that unlike other major disruptive events, things kind of seem normal enough after a day or two that people and businesses start functioning as if there is nothing wrong even while receovery efforts have barely started. A major blizzard would be the exact opposite case, since there is no way in hell anything can possibly seem "normal" while there is still two feet of snow on the ground and cars stranded in snowdrifts all over the place.
