After the hurricane, where can you go to get gas?
Twelve years ago, Hurricane Wilmas damage led to weeks of electrical outages and long lines at the gas pumps. When drivers learned that a gas station had power, they would wait in line for fuel, often leading to angry outbursts when the pumps ran dry.
This time, more convenience stores and gas stations are equipped with either generators or backup power supplies to run their equipment and Miami-Dade and Broward counties have compiled lists of where to go to find companies that have generator power.

Barring Armageddon, they are open 24/7 365.
Hell! They'll remain open throughout Armageddon.

(206,853 posts)And that is truly awesome! They have reasonable prices and are a cut above "fast food," always efficient service -
and usually friendly. The ones I've visited when traveling seemed like places the locals hang out. Given a choice of places, I'd choose Waffle House over fast food or more fancy places. And after learning this, I'm even more of a fan!
