I'm optimistic that the situation in the Carolinas will be resolved by the middle of next week, because we're planning to drive up to visit with family and friends over that weekend.
My wife said everywhere in Oviedo (NE Orlando) had gas today and she filled up (was under 1/4 tank). However, I passed 4 different gas stations yesterday afternoon (Wednesday 5pm) driving around Oviedo and all of them were out of gas.
It appears the shortage resolved quickly in Orlando area. Which makes sense as we don't even get our gas from the Colonial pipeline in FL except for the panhandle. As I understand it gets shipped to FL by barge from Texas.
