Increasing panic over gas in Atlanta

The AJC reports that “the possibility of shortages of gasoline at area stations had metro drivers waiting at pumps to fill up this morning. And prices rose accordingly.”

My husband just called from the gas station (where our water pump was apparently, mistakenly replaced when only some hoses needed replacing) and he was told by the guys at the station that the rumors are that gas is going to be cut off to Atlanta. So the prospect of shortages have turned into these rumors that Atlanta will be getting no gas. He’s seeing Midtown gas station after gas station with 50 cars waiting for gas, traffic jams near the stations, cars lined up out into the street.
