There are 500 people working on it. Panic buying is a huge problem.

Panic buying is a given once word gets out

We were in North Georgia and stopped at a supermarket, where a lady who worked there informed us......she said it reminded her of the 70’s, i.e. Jimmy Carter

So on our way to North Carolina we saw exactly what she was talking about

Therefore, the first place that had some gas we stopped and paid the higher price.
Stations were closed .....had their signs turned off

Panic buying is causing stations to run out much sooner than would have been the case, yes, and it’s not good. However, once it sets in, that old adage becomes true, he who panics first panics best. When rationality flies out the window regarding something as crucial as fuel for your vehicle to get to work, you’d better dive into the fray before the price skyrockets or all the pumps in your area shut down. I’ve read and heard that people are already starting to follow tanker trucks to gas stations in this area.
