Too bad you couldn't have sent the excess gasoline down to us in NJ instead of just burning it off. 75% of the gas stations here in northern NJ either don't have any gas or they don't have power to pump. There are 2-3 hour waits in line for gas, and today they won't even fill 5 gallon gas cans for those of us with generators. Cars only. It may be another full week before the power is back for those who are out. My 80+ year old parents have a generator, but they have less than 8 gallons of gas left. The power company promises to have them back on line by 11/9 after first saying 11/5. I've heard that gas stations 50 or 60 miles north of here have some gas, but who wants to risk driving that far and using what little we have left.
