From a reader this morning
A pipeline that carried 40%+ of the gasoline for the southeast and east ruptured last week. No quick fix due to the quarter million gallons of gasoline that spilled and is held in a retention pond. I’ve thought for years that this pipe would be a good terrorist target and, though this isn’t terrorism, it’s going to wreck havoc in the southeast and east. Nashville is already out of gas and it’s going to cascade. This could end up being a huge election issue given Obama’s stopping new pipeline construction during his entire term.
If you Google the story the American media is almost silent, covered by British and RT. That won’t last for long. [Redacted] lives in Nashville. I gave her a heads up yesterday so they could get topped off and this morning 80 percent of the stations are closed in her area.
If you’re in the southeast, fill up your gas tanks now and lay in some supplies.
UPDATE: The story is now public: Alabama, Tennessee, & Georgia Declare States Of Emergency As Gas Shortages Loom After Pipeline Leak
UPDATE: North Carolina has declared a state of emergency too.
