Let me know if this is bullshyt or not folks who live in these areas.
SuperStation95 - PANIC as Fuel Supplies Run-out in Atlanta, Raleigh, Charlotte, Roanoke -- More Refineries SHUTTING DOWN!
Motorists are beginning to panic and state Governors are declaring Emergencies as fuel supplies have begun running-out in several states as a result of a still-ruptured pipeline. New Jersey and New York are only days away from similar outages.
As of 5:00 PM EDT -
Atlanta, GA - Numerous gas stations in and around Atlanta, GA are reporting NO FUEL.
Alpharetta GA - (northern suburb of Atlanta) LONG lines at the few stations which still have fuel - some stations OUT OF GAS!
Sandy Springs, Georgia (20 mins north of Atlanta) most of the local gas stations were OUT of gas, and those who did have it, were up to 3.50/gal ... from 1.25/gal on Friday morning.
Kennesaw, GA - Numerous gas stations now empty
Augusta, GA Many Stations reporting NO DIESEL
Summerville, GA - Many stations now empty
Dallas GA - Many stations completely empty and those that HAVE gas are acharging over $3 and close to $4 at some stations.
Fairview TN, 40 miles west of Nashville -- "There has been no gas here since Sat. "This morning there is one gas station up and running and it's packed."
Chesnee, SC - COMPLETELY out of gas - no idea when they will get some - has diesel
Goldsboro, NC, some gas stations out; some only let you get $30.00 max at a time. "People are stocking up"
New Bern, NC, cops patrolling to make certain they know which stations still have fuel for police, fire and EMS. Many stations already empty.
Charlotte, NC many stations now empty
Forest city, NC- Numerous stations out of gas - those that do have it are limiting to 10$ per Fill-up
Hendersonville, NC - Source tells SuperStation95 "Passed 4 stations on the way to work this morning, all were out of gas."
Wilson, NC.... the 6 stations around my house are now out of everything except diesel.
Throughout Eastern NC few stations have gas
Raleigh, NC -- A radio DJ (from the #1 station) was broadcasting live from his truck where he was waiting his turn in line at a gas station with 50+ people on line ... and the station ran out of gas. Radio DJ says "Gonna be full panic level here this evening."
Chapel Hil, NC This morning, 1 station with out-of-service bags on the pumps; 1 station with cars at every pump - 2 deep - waiting.
Lenoir, NC said pumps empty at many stations
Forsyth, Stokes and Surry counties in NC are hit or miss. At least half of the stations in said counties are out of fuel.
About the Ruptured Pipeline
The Colonial pipeline is two lines, one for diesel and another one for unleaded. The unleaded line is the one that is broken, so the diesel line is alternating between 3 grades: diesel, unleaded, and jet fuel.
Trucks are backed up at the Doraville, GA terminal and are having to wait. Normally they can haul 3-4 tanker per day, but due to the wait, they are only making 1-2 runs.
Fuel supplies will get better at stations in Georgia today, but it will not last.
They have not started to fix the pipeline yet, they may try to divert the line around the spill rather than fix the leak. No ETA on when it will be fixed.
By Strange "Coincidence"
While all east coast states are now being affected by the Colonial Pipeline "issue" it seems strange that BP announced last week that it decided to shut down its refinery in Whiting, Indiana for "scheduled Maintenance." This mid-west refinery shutdown will impact fuel availability in the entire Midwestern United States!
This afternoon (9-19-2016) ExxonMobil announced they are shutting down their refinery in Torrance, CA due to "unplanned flaring." This shut down will have an impact on fuel availability along the entire US west coast
If we were Conspiracy Theorists, we might start wondering if there's some nefarious plan in action to cut off the American people from fuel. No fuel equals no work. Moreover, no fuel means no truck shipments. No truck shipments means . . . no food.
Can anyone imagine out-of-work, penniless and starving Americans being told "All you have to do is turn-in your guns and agree to vote for Hillary Clinton, and we won't let you starve to death or go Bankrupt from no work."
Naahhhhhh. They wouldn't dare. They know, to an absolute certainty that:
. . . when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
-Declaration of Independence
But just in case they don't know, it may be good to remind them . . . . and prepare to do exactly that if the Conspiracy Theorists are correct!
