Soon to be Hurricane. We were planning on leaving tomorrow and doing Disney , now I’m thinking leaving Thursday. I’m sure getting gas once we are in around Orlando is going to be long lines

It will be a shitshow beginning today especially after the last hurricane taking almost the same path. Orlando was hit pretty hard with flooding. Hopefully the hurricane will go further north this time. Always something with LSU and hurricanes

If you are driving out this way, make sure to stay away from Citgo/7-11/BJs gas.
quote:

Florida officials are warning of a “potentially widespread fuel contamination” that may have resulted in people getting fuel from some Florida gas stations that could harm or disable their engines just as Tropical Storm Idalia may put residents on the road or in search of gas to power their generators.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services issued an alert Sunday afternoon stating that gas that was supplied out of Port Tampa Bay by Citgo had become contaminated because of “human error.”
quote:

“Citgo sells gas to BJs, 7-Eleven, and also some unbranded stations,” department officials said in the alert, noting that they “will send a more accurate list as it becomes available.”

Well, I won't be driving an hour to Gainesville tomorrow or Wednesday because UF closes at noon Tuesday. Gas, ATM, grocery lines are long where I live. I do not want to travel anywhere. Happy at home.
