Atlanta, Georgia, has serious fuel shortage in the past 2 weeks. Was the delivery of gasoline delayed, or the refineries somewhere didn’t operate on the normal business days? We have no clues.
When you driving on the street, you could see the chaotic scenes, such as car after car waiting to pump gas. Sometimes these lines of waiting cars deter our flow of traffic. There were only a few of these gas stations have fuel to pump available. You probably have to travel a long distance, somewhat 15 miles or 20 miles away, or to another county to get gasoline. This was ridiculous, and we won’t never expect these scenario to happen.
About 2 weeks ago, hurricane Ike was predicted to hit Texas on the weekend. The price of gasoline suddenly skyrocketed on that day, and people started panicked. Long line of cars rush to the nearest gas station filled up their tanks, to prepare the late delivery of gasoline en route through Texas would be delayed. From then, our gasoline shortage crisis started. Until now, we still have panicky individuals, and the gas fuel never enough for all of us suddenly.
It wasn’t so bad on other states, some rumors say that, Washington D.C. has plenty of gas fuel, and the price listed was cheaper than southern states here. It seems the gas chaos only occur in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. All other states wasn’t affected at all. Some officials predict that gas shortage will be return to normal around the Columbus Day. Two more weeks of gas shortage will be expected. I hope every one of us can live with it temporarily.
This fuel shortage impact some of our neighborhood business too, such as restaurants. Since we didn’t have enough gas supply, less people are willing to go out to dine. So, the weekend will be slower than usual. Hopefully, after Columbus Days, our fuel shortage crisis will be over, and everything will be back to normal. We won’t have to pay a high- priced gas.
