Not a drop of gasoline

[Betsy]

can be found within 200 miles of bigH. All the stations on all of the highways are shut down and have no gas.
It will take days and days to get the 3 million vehicles back home. Here in my little town north of Austin... 4 out of 5 stations are empty. LOCAL folks are staying home because they cannot get gasoline.
Austin area has doubled it's number of vehicles. The expense of this storm cannot be measured in wind damage alone.
We will have another nightmare on the TV watching folks PUSH their vehicles home.

Nothing here in Palestine, either, Betsy. The swarms of evacuees came in yesterday and cleaned us out. Fortunately, we got all our vehicles filled -- so if we have to leave, we can.

Don't plan on using much of what you have.. I betcha it will take WEEKS to get back to normal amounts of gas in our stations. It is a nightmare out there on the hiways.

Sorry to hear about that for you folks down that way. With the damage being less than anticipated, here's hoping that things will get back to normal sooner rather than later.
