Gas insanity has arrived in NC
I went to my favorite taco truck that parks by a gas station. Lines were out of the lot and in the road. Drove by a few other gas stations all were covered up with people in lines or were out of gas, it was like back in the 70's. Thanks to our Governor who is a libtard POS this is happening.
I sat on a pick-nick table with some Mexican guys and practiced my spainish(which is not too bad) and waited for a fight to start over getting gas. But it didn't happen. One of the guys was the owner of a sprinkler installation business and he also does landscaping. He asked me if I needed a job or knew anyone who needed work. He said he cannot get people to work for him because they are getting paid to stay home. I had to turn him down and tell him I didn't know anyone looking but would keep him in mind.
But
The Tacos were OUTSTANDING! I ate 3 Taco lengua's and I drank a Tecate that was ice cold😋
I didn't need gas because I filled up on Sunday like I normally do.

And it's going to happen. Guessing an electric grid net. Joey will advise again, wear a mask while the power is out.

They just said that 78 percent of gas stations in the Asheville area are out of gas. My girlfriend is driving up here right now from Atlanta, via Gainesville. She found a gas station open north of Gainesville this morning and topped up the tank. This is a 220 mile trip so she will still have some gas left when she gets here. That is a good thing because there is no gas in my county.
I am going to downtown Asheville today to help my brother coach a soccer team. No gas problems for us we will go in my brother's Tesla. We are going right down Merriman Avenue and will do a survey as we pass about 28 gas stations on that road, I want to see if a single one is open.

I would drive a tesla too, if I had $120,000 to spare on a CAR 🥺. The tesla will help, but will NOT help the TRUCKS deliver EVERYTHING that people need/want to survive. I plan on working until I get to 50% fuel left in my vehicles, then gonna burn leave. I'm keeping enough to get around in case of emergency.

Not knocking the tesla, just pointing out the fact that Tesla is out of reach for most people. Kudos to him for being able to afford one! I'm sure he will be VERY popular if things don't get better soon!

His Tesla cost $64,400.
He is not a warrior for Climate Change he thinks Climate Change is a bunch of bs. He just bought it because he wanted a nice sporty car.
And I must say that car is a lot of fun to drive. Unbelievable acceleration. Yes kudos to him to be able to afford it. He got a degree from Ga. Tech. When I was 27 I was riding freight trains around the country and having fun and I was broke. At age 27 my brother had a job at a big textile plant, with his engineering degree, and he was putting money away in a 401 K.
I had more adventures than he did, but he has more money than I have.

Yep, I know in text/forums it's hard to convey tone. I really did mean kudos to him! I would love to have one, they are FAST and fun. It's simply not plausible for me. I could use it for travel to and from work, that would be awesome. But that's about it. I need my truck to haul, and expedition to haul people. IF I had enough to spare them a Tesla would make a great addition. I even looked at cheaper cars, like 30mpg gas burners, but I couldn't save enough in gas money to justify the costs.
That's the American way! Work hard, EARN money, save money, and buy EXACTLY what you want! 😁

Y'all are getting me really concerned now 😯, my Silverado is full and so is my wifes SUV, think now I'll go fill up my Jeep and my spare farm truck just in case......may even have an old motorcycle with an empty tank parked somewhere around here, I'll have to check that out too 😁

On my way to work today most of the gas stations had gas and the lines looked normal at most.

I just read that 65% of gas stations in NC are empty.
Don't forget I40, I85 and I95 all run through NC.

As this news is spreading across our nation, I had to wait in quite a line this morning here in Michigan to gas up. Even without a shortage people act like there is one or there is going to be one!

People somehow think that the pipeline ONLY serves the East coast so that means the mid and west coast will not be affected. That is NOT the case however. The rest may not run out like we are, but the prices will surely go up because they can! This also affects EVERYTHING that has to be trucked or flown FROM the East coast. All goods will go up IF this is not fixed SOON!!

Joey from Scranton has his eyes on it. Yea, don't worry about gas when we have a "woke" movement and BLM to take care of. Mark my words, it's going to get a lot worse in the USA, SOON. I will eat raw possum if I am wrong.

I wish that your were eating raw opossum soon!!! BUT I'm sure that you will have to eat it fully cooked........just like our GOOSE!

Just a few minutes ago I filled up a Ford P/U at the local Circle K, paid $2.69 cash for regular, charge/debit card cost .10 cents more and no long lines to be seen at any of the stations, seems like a normal day to me. Wish y'all the best. Just a thought, this could be a little payback from Russia due to Hunter Biden with his so-called "expertise" in the oil industry and if so.............. 😡

Good thing my commute involves walking down stairs.

This evening at 7 pm we drove Merrimon Avenue in Asheville NC, from downtown to Weaverville. This is the main road on the north side of town. About 8 miles.
14 gas stations, including 3 huge ones at Ingles grocery store, all were out of gas.
In Weaverville, right at I 26 was a little Mom n Pop Shell that was pumping gas! I was astonished. All 8 pumps were getting pumped, about 8 vehicles in line.
Statistics today said that 78 percent of gas stations in Asheville are out of gas. My survey says that 93 percent are out.
Hoping for a better tomorrow....

Goldsboro NC has about 25% of its stations having gas . Have already seen several videos of fight breaking out at stations due to line cutting etc .

This is why there was a gas problem.
Look at all the gas cans in the back of that car.
These 2 must have a lot of lawns to cut...............right.
I just read that Colonial Pipeline paid off the hackers last week but that the key to unlocking the hack was long and took a while. I also read they paid off in crypto currency.

I love that little town of Weaverville, whenever we get that way we try to eat at the Glass Onion there.

Went out this morning to the bank south in a small town. Of the 8 stations on the way... All out.

"This is why there was a gas problem."
INCORRECT! Lack of LEADERSHIP is why there IS a gas problem.

All part of the plan to push people to electric vehicles. Before the end of the decade some States like California and Washington are banning the sales of new gas cars. I don’t see how they will get away with it when they don’t recharge in less than 30 minutes. I drove from Yakima to Eureka, CA in 1 day. No current EV can do that without a 24 hour charge. But gas in CA was edging up to $5 a gallon. We’re heading to an epic disaster.

It's even hit Commiefornia now. People are topping off & some stations are out of gas. Sam's Club is always terrible but today it was even far worse. I need gas but not bad enough to sit in that line even if it is 50 cents/gal cheaper.

How did they pump fuel through pipelines before computers?

Why don't companies back-up their data so they can retrieve it when this happens?

TOO much data to back up, most likely. I'm sure it was operating systems and such too. These hackers also dig up illegal activities, photos, texts, and ANYTHING they can find to blackmail companies.

mike55 There is never "TOO much data to back up" all it takes is money! These corporations just won't spend what it costs to have real-time DR protection which just amazes me since corporations don't really pay for anything, their products they sell to consumers covers all there costs else they go out of business and the fact is they are just too greedy and won't cut into their own profit to protect their assets...

I agree with that. Technically yea, EVERYTHING can be backed up. But yea, they didn't wanna spend that money. But even if it was backed up, some idiot would have incriminating information on their that could be stolen and used as blackmail. Blackmail is probably a big portion of the hackers income.

Most stations here are up and running again
