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 Gasoline Shortage Continues Despite Delivery Improvements

Senator Marco Rubio criticized those responsible for not resolving the gasoline shortages in Florida, cautioning against blaming it on consumer panic. The shortage was caused by record-setting rainfall and a trucker shortage, which disrupted the flow of fuel from ports to stations. While the situation is improving, nearly 50% of gas stations in Miami and Fort Lauderdale are still without gas. Rubio came under fire for his video clip, with some pointing out that he should be considered one of the people responsible for finding a solution to the problem.

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.
