Looking at the GasBuddy app, there is not a single gas station that has gas near me. That's 49 stations reporting no gas.
I'm so glad that my family all still works from home for the most part. But some co-workers asked to reschedule time-critical meetings today because they had to go top-off their tanks.
Meanwhile, my daughter, a speech language pathologist, was busy doing teletherapy during the day. She left to provide in-home therapy to her medically fragile pediatric client who isn't capable of teletherapy. Fortunately, she left early enough that the traffic jams due to long lines for gas didn't make her late. She wasn't able to get gas on her way home. She thinks she has enough to make it to all her other medically fragile clients this week (if they aren't medically fragile, she does teletherapy only through the pandemic).
Governor Cooper urged everyone not to top off, panic buy, or hoard, because it would cause more problems. The local news showed the tanker trucks in Greensboro being filled from the pipeline that is working via manual control. There's another pipeline and options that provide 55% of our gas. But lots of people waited hours to fill up their tanks and will have plenty, while others who couldn't take time off during the day or require fueling their tanks every few days are out of luck.
It sounds like we'll be fine by the weekend. I hope so.
