    Totally insane as people are running out of gas in their cars while trying to find gas or wait for it. Beyond crazy here in NJ

    31 Oct 12


    Following Hurricane Sandy, many New Jersey gas stations are still without power and supplies are running low at those that are open. Reuters reports:
    In New Jersey, where half of all businesses and homes were still without power, more than 80 percent of filling stations are unable to sell gasoline, said Sal Risalvato, head of the New Jersey Gasoline, Convenience, Automotive Association (NJGCA).
    As residents struggle to find fuel for cars and generators, the gas station lines in some parts of the Garden State are stretching not just for blocks, but for miles.

    Pretty weird driving around northern #NJ today. Gas station lines like the 1970s. #sandy

    As Gulf Coasters did during Hurricane Isaac, New Jersey residents are using the power of Twitter to help each other find gasoline.
    MikeyYeahYeah@MikeyYeahYeah
    Going to try to start hash tag. Please report any open gas station #NJGas. Jersey residents could use the help.

    30 Oct 12


    The #NJgas hashtag is filled with up-to-the-minute reports on which stations are open and how long the lines are. Others are requesting information about where to find gas. Some recent tweets from the hashtag:
    Dan Muniz@dmuniz1
    Rt. 10 West in Parsippany has a Raceway gas station open #NjGas

    The Wall Street Journal reports that it may five to seven days before gasoline is delivered to some stations.

    Power is finally on in my house. It was out for about 24 hours. Some of my family members live in the shore area near the Mantoloking Bridge. The sea just came in with the surge into the Bay. The houses got pummeled. My sister and brother-n-law needed to be rescued. They had to walk up to their chins in freezing sea water down their block in hurricane winds. What a nightmare. Their neighbors houses are destroyed by the floods. Their next door neighbors car blew up, but thank God the firemen put it out. One woman said she lived on their block for 60 years and never saw such destruction. In my town, alot of down wires and no power. Worst storm I've ever scene by a hurricane in our state. Kids have off from school all week, some towns won't go back until November 12.
