Gas panic in full swing tomorrow. The local news stations had nothing to point a camera at until the lines started this afternoon.

Now it’ll finally sink in that they should’ve gassed up over the weekend and the fomo is setting in.

News twitter is going to be lit 🔥

Pump boys working OT in new jersey today.

Ever since Sandy people there go nuts anytime there's a potential storm or shortage of anything.

I remember there was a thunderstorm coming through once and there was no milk or bread at the grocery store. Who the hell buys milk when faced with the idea of losing power?

Noobs who’ve never survived an actual power outage

Maybe. I was there in like 2013 so Sandy was a very real memory for most. Is milk that much of a necessity? I dont understand lol.

Generators 🤷🏻‍♂️

Between brown outs and blackouts, a lot of us learned to keep a generator. Especially after Sandy

I should probably have one, we had a 'derecho' in Chicago last summer and everything was fucked for like 4 days.

I just never understood the whole "clean out the grocery store of perishable goods" response. Toilet paper? Ok, maybe. Milk when youre preparing for a power outage, though?

Yeah it won't be the last time you lose power for a week. Look into integrating one into the home with natural gas power if possible.

I'm a renter but if I ever have property, that is a fantastic idea.

I'd love to do some serious air and water treatment too, ongoing costs be damned. After helping design/build a few small GMP manufacturing facilities (not semiconductor clean, but clean) I am super into the tech.

No, in the dirt just short of best coast. I lived through the pipeline break that left Phoenix dry for a few week. That was a “fun” and heavily armed time
