Pipeline spill

[Dirtshooter]

I assume that everyone has heard about the Colonial pipeline spill near Birmingham,Al. I was reading some comments on Channel 5 news and 1 man that had went to 4 stations before finding 1 with gas said it was "mass chaos". This totally confirms that people really freak out when there is a snow storm coming, a hurricane coming or something like this pipeline spill. Many people freak out and go fill up all their vehicles and every gas can they have. It does nothing but make the situation worse. But this should be a reminder to all here that in some catastrophic event people will freak out and all hell with break loose. I was doing some surfing and was looking at the U.S. infrastructure and it ain't a pretty picture. Bridges, pipelines, dams, sewer lines, water lines, roads, electric grid all are overworked for what they were built for and the life span of most of it expired 20 or more years ago. All this to say, be as prepared as you can be so that when life throws us a curve we can ride out the bumpy road.

We have been behind the 8 ball for a couple of decades now. Only going to get worse at every disaster!

I didn't freak out .I calmly filled my gas tank,making situation better for me and family,cause I went before the rush.

I tend to keep everything close to full. Instead of driving around looking for gas this evening, we went fishing.

I didn't top mine off when I went into work last night because, I had over 3/4 tank. I'll probably fill up tomorrow or Wednesday. Stuff like this usually don't bother me to bad.

I'm going to fill up again tomorrow... just in case.
