That happened on I-10 during and after Katrina. Florida’s Bush go on the news saying that 70% of the stations had gas, without mentioning that none of them were on the western 100 miles on I-10 in Florida.

The water near the coast is cool, so that will help some, but NOLA is on the wrong side of this thing and it is going to be backing water up the Mississippi if it moves as forecast. Of course, that means it will be pushing the water in Lake Pontchartrain away from the city.
I noticed today that gas is up a dime, and it isn’t going to get cheaper after Gustav moves through the platforms.
