South Florida Struggles with Gas Delivery and Cleanup After Storm

Gas delivery delays continue to cause frustration for drivers and gas station owners in South Florida following last week's severe flooding at Port Everglades.

Gas Buddy reports that about 20% of stations in Palm Beach County did not have gas on Tuesday compared to 50% in Dade and Broward. Officials urge drivers not to panic and hoard gasoline, as there is no shortage, but a challenge in keeping up with higher demand.

Fort Lauderdale Flooding Causes Gas and Water Shortages in South Florida

Gasoline shortages continue across South Florida due to flooding at Port Everglades, which disrupted fuel delivery to local stations. Some stations have wrapped gas pump handles in red and yellow plastic coverings as their tanks emptied out. Port Everglades officials have assured the public that relief is on the way, with petroleum trucks continuing to load fuel for delivery to gas stations throughout Florida. Gasoline is being brought in from Port Canaveral, Tampa, and Orlando to offset the shortage. The shortages come at an inopportune time as gasoline prices across the state have again been spiraling upwards.
