Hurricane Katrina taught me a lot about trying to find fuel for a small generator. No power to gas stations meant no fuel available. It meant listening to the transister radio for reports of stations that had fuel and power to pump it. Which means you need fuel for your vehicle to get there and also get back and then enough left into the vehicle’s tank to get to the next station a few days later. Also they limited the number of gallons you could buy. And everybody else was also headed there. It was difficult.
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.
