So last nights press release CP is delivering fuel manually from NC to Md. What is near Md that matters? Weird that a continous pipeline is stopped on one side and dleivers on the other. Must be a huge tank farm in Greensboro. No shortages north of VA

There is a huge tank farm in Greensboro. It’s right on the side of I-40 and can clearly be seen driving through the area.

Florida Gov. DeSantis Demands Biden 'step up' on Russia's pipeline cyberattack and 'help mitigate' the crisis as 2,000 stations across South Run Dry and gas price tops $3: Americans warned NOT to fill plastic bags with fuel as Fights break out at the pumps

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called on the Biden administration to 'step up' and do more to ease the fuel crisis that is gripping the southern Atlantic seaboard, after hackers tied to Russia disabled a key gasoline pipeline.

'My fear is you have these gas shortages, it's going to cause a lot of problems for people, just the convenience of life, but also for our economy,' DeSantis said.

  • In metro Raleigh, 72% of gas stations running dry, in Charlotte 71%, and in metro Atlanta 60%
  • Supply chain bracing for Memorial Day weekend with more than 37 million people to travel at least 50 miles
  • Shortages spreading to the Florida panhandle as well as Washington DC and Baltimore
Meanwhile, fights are breaking out at the gas pump amid a fuel shortage across the southern Atlantic seaboard, as the Biden administration urges motorists not to deepen the crisis with unnecessary panic buying.

Motorists in Knightdale, North Carolina, on the outskirts of Raleigh, traded blows on Tuesday as frustrations boiled over in a long line for gas at a Marathon station.

A witness said a woman tried to cut the line for gas, and then screamed obscenities and spit on a man who refused to let her cut in. The man jumped out of his vehicle, spit on the woman in return, and began grappling with her, video shows.

FBI names 'Darkside' as Colonial Pipeline cyberattacker

The FBI said Monday that the ransomware gang known as "Darkside" was the group responsible for the attack over the weekend that forced the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline networks responsible for carrying gasoline from Texas to the Northeast.

Darkside announced its existence in August 2020, and claims it does not attack medical, educational or government targets – only large corporations – and that it donates a portion of what it takes to charity.

The group will harvest data from a victim’s server, then encrypt it and request a ransom. The group then will upload the data to a leak website on the dark web, which will publish should it not receive the ransom, risking sensitive data loss for any victim organization.

I'm guessing this is why DC has gas and NC has none, they're pumping it out of NC to the liberal areas around DC and MD.

People are doing the same **** they did with toilet paper. One of my vehicles is full, one is empty. Instead of filling the empty one up at $4 a gallon im just going to drive the one thats full until all this blows over. If people would just buy gas when they need it this wouldn't be an issue. I'm sick of crazy people in this country. ****.

It would be nice if some hackers in the USA could sabotage something in Russia. A Vodka pipeline possibly if we are too dumb to disrupt their oil?

We are way behind the times in terms of cyber security. Russia, China, god knows what other countries totally own us.

Gas is fine. On my commute I saw several stations with no has but saw more stations with gas. And the frenzy of people piling in to get gas was nowhere to be seen, unlike the day before.

Again, people cant make their gas tanks larger or all of a sudden drastically increase miles driven. Thus, they cant consume more gas.
