quote:

Gasoline pipe spill that released about 250,000 gallons of gasoline south of Birmingham and shut down a major pipeline connecting refineries in Houston with the rest of the country.


quote:

"Based on current projections and consultations with industry partners, parts of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina will be the first markets to be impacted by any potential disruption in supply."

Just looked at the map. Had no idea these lines were that vital.

Not to mention they both run less than half a mile from my house. 8-0

I haven't read the story yet but this is either Colonial Pipeline or Kinder Morgan.

It's Colonial. Seems like the situation is under control:

Colonial has about 500 employees and contractors working on the clean up with EPA and other agencies on scene. The declaration is only necessary to get around the trucking rules.


250,000 bbls is a pretty big cleanup.

This is affecting us here in Nashville. Gas has gone up almost 30 cents/gallon overnight as many stations begin to run out.

An emergency situation was declared for the Nashville Metro because it could be a while before normal service is restored.
