all bets are off for a civil end to this mess

If everyone were aware of what is going on they would be checking their Y2K stash right about now. A lot of pipelines originate at NO.

Before EVERYONE gets into a panic, the majority of these stories and rumors are anecdotal and many not able to be confirmed.

We need to have a consistent effort to CONFIRM these stories. Frankly, the gas shortage sounds a bit sensational at the moment.

Has there been any confirmation of gas companies allocating to regions or gas shortages????

Mine is still there. I dont think I will need it but insurance is peace of mind. When it expires I will get abother stash.

Gas is about 2.57-2.70 in Fort Worth. The lines look normal.
It went up about a dime so far, thats not so unusual lately.

It seems to me if everyone filled their tanks in a panic it wouldnt matter because they were going to use it soon anyway and will need gas later than normal.

For the month they would end up burning the same number of gallons as usual.

Provided there is no disruption in flow as there appears to be in this case due to Katrina.

We restocked ours last Friday. I now have four cases of fresh bottled water and enough dry goods to last two weeks at least.
I just wish I had started to make my jerky earlier.
