Question? Are Americans the ones making this worse then what it oughta be? Why are folk rushing to the gas pumps when they should just chill and wait for things to settle. I heard folks who have pumped extra gas in cans and are storing them in their homes...WHAT GIVES? I think the mediaWHORES have finally succeed in scaring the folk off! Americans NEED to come together and show solitary with one another. The Katrina looters have already shown the world how despicable we can get when confronted with a calamity! SO SAD! We, as Americans are better than that!! :(
Well, because I was out and not sure I had enough to make it home on. :-)
You're going to be hearing stories about panic-driven people running out and trying to store hundreds of gallons of gasoline in plastic milk jugs and bleach bottles in their houses, and then one night something will happen and the house will go up like a bomb.
"Why are folk rushing to the gas pumps when they should just chill and wait for things to settle."
Good question. Why don't they have all that stuff already? One of the aspects of being personally prepared (other than being called nuts and paranoid!) is that you don't add to the problem when things DO get a little bad.
That said, and ignorant of the number of pipelines serving the east coast, I'm hoping that there are several other lines coming across further north that can handle more of the load.
