WESH 2 News reporters saw people Wednesday lining up at gas stations, and some stations had gas pumps covered after a cyber hack shut down the Colonial Pipeline.

At Seaport Canaveral, they say they're full, with ample gasoline that's being loaded onto trucks and heading to Central Florida gas stations.

Demand is spiking to double, even triple the normal sales.

It also suggests Florida has all the gas it needs, as long as people buy only what they need.


If only George Bailey ran a gas station (ref It's a wonderful life)
 
For the same reason there was a toilet paper--people overbought in too short a time frame that set forth more panic buying. It happened in Australia so the must have known something the rest of teh world didn't which then caused the rest of the world to do it too.
