Just a quick report from Northern Virginia.
Thankfully, I'm working out my last few weeks at my present job in Herndon, VA, as I live in downtown DC. Anyway, at about 7pm I stopped into the Sterling, VA (near Dulles airport) Costco to top off my half full tank and shop. 24 pumps...10K gallons storage...dead for the remainder of the day. No gas.
I spoke to the clerk waving people off, and apparently they started selling about 2-3K gallons of gas an hour. Everyone is trying to fill up before expected increases from a Rita hit. They don't expect another truck until ~10am Thurs, and expect to be out again by noon, 1pm at the latest.
If Rita does hit the Houston/Galveston area, things are going to get bad very, very fast.
I have never been so happy about a job change in my life. I'll be really enjoying the new 1.4 mile commute on a bike or on foot.
