This thread discusses the Content article: Tropical Storm Fay puts Cape Coral on Hurricane Watch

This whole gas station thing is ridiculous.

I just went out to fill up my cars gas tank, just in case the worst happens and we need to evacuate. The lines of people waiting for gas out there in Cape Coral are absurd. People are getting mad at each other and beeping. It's completely chaotic. I finally made it to my turn in the line when the driver of a car from the other direction forced his way in front of me. I was so frustrated I gave up and went home. I guess I'll try again at midnight when everyone's asleep.

Sometimes these hurricanes bring out the worst in people.

Yeah, it's kind of hit or miss out there right now for gas. I just drove down Cape Coral Parkway, and some stations have long lines, others don't

I assume it will get worse as the day goes on. I remember during Wilma pretty much every station on the Cape ran out of gas a day before the storm.

But I agree that hurricanes do have a way of bringing out bad characteristics in people. They get impatient and rude. Maybe it's fear?
