Gas Shortage

I don't know if all of you have heard, but the South is going through a HUGE gas shortage right now. Because we get the majority of our gas from Texas, when Hurricane Ike came through and all the refineries had to shut down, gas was nowhere to be found and what gas there was suddenly became $5 a gallon.

Gas stations everywhere are just closed because they have no gas. The bigger cities like Charlotte and Atlanta are especially struggling. They are literally without gas. YOU CANNOT GET GAS ANYWHERE WITHIN THE CITY!!! If someplace does happen to have gas (and they always only have regular, no one has premium gas ANYWHERE), there are lines of cars waiting for it. Greensboro has gotten a lot better than it was but most stations still only have regular gas.

Hi Leda! Don't know if you remember me from high school...I found your blog from Kasia's blog. My brother-in-law and his family live in Charlotte and they said it is horrible to try and find gas! Good luck with it!
