Gas Shortage Panic Eases in South Florida with EPA's Boosting Move.

Torrential rainstorms in Florida damaged critical infrastructure, causing severe gasoline shortages in the state's southeast. The Environmental Protection Agency is working to increase gasoline supplies, while Florida is delivering fuel directly to the areas where the shortage is most acute. The state has requested an EPA waiver to allow gas stations to sell a blend of fuel not normally available in warmer months. As of Thursday afternoon, 47% of gas stations in Miami and Fort Lauderdale were without fuel.

South Florida's Fuel Distribution Issues Cause Frustration and Damage.

South Florida is experiencing a fuel shortage due to logistical problems caused by flooding at Port Everglades. The port is the primary conduit for fuel to Miami-Dade, Broward, and the Keys. The Florida Division of Emergency Management is deploying 500,000 gallons of fuel to South Florida gas stations to ease the situation. Officials said deliveries will continue to be slower than usual, and they encourage drivers to be patient and not panic-buy. The director of Port Everglades said the historic floods exposed weaknesses, and the port can make improvements to docks and address sea level rise.

South Florida's Frustrations Mount: Fuel, Floods, and Fear.

South Florida drivers are facing fuel shortages due to the historic rainfall that flooded Port Everglades, which supplies all the gas, diesel, and jet fuel to the four South Florida counties. Although the issue is not supply, but distribution, the 1,200 trucks that transport fuel from the port daily were halted for close to 36 hours because of the storm. The shortage has led to long lines, bagged pumps, and signs that read "no gas," causing frustration among drivers and spilling into gas stations themselves.
