Default Colonial Pipeline - Southeast gas shortage thread

I thought I'd start this, surprised to see nothing in OT. As I live in the northeast where we get zero oil from Texas (all is from the middle east as it's cheaper), I made it a point to look at all the gas stations today during a 90 minute errand. I'm in eastern Mass. No stations appeared to have more than a few cars. The one price I checked was $2.89 which is a little high, but not out of line.

How's things elsewhere? CNN shows lines and a station with $6.99 a gallon gas and stations out of gas. I told my son about the lines and such from the Arab embargo in the 70's, where they put in minimums of $5 because clowns (going on now) want to top off their tank. Put in 39 cents, click because full and drive away.
