whelp the weather channel is saying it too, so I guess something there

I swear someone posted a link to a report about this earlier but now I can't find it.

Or maybe it was on facebook. Where even am I?

yea, shtfplan.com is enough of a source for me...
I don't trust the site. But it does say it quotes CNN in that middle darkened section. I haven't heard anything about this but am in the midwest but I don't want to anyone unprepared or get caught in a scramble at the pump.

<Tricker googles for this mouse. I will need two. One for work and one for home>
Pretty sure it was this one, actually, I got this mouse YEARS ago though and the price was much lower.

Then I guess there's something to it. I listened to news early this morning for the national stuff but not CNN. Didn't hear anything about this and haven't seen it elsewhere. This is the first I saw and wouldn't of mentioned it except they did quote CNN. Or claim too.

Wonder how far west people should be worried about this. Just the actual east coast and like TN and GA? No Ohio, Michigan, etc?
yea you can follow that pipeline and it feeds pretty much the east coast only

i mean to be fair, iirc the native american protests weren't covered by national media as well until it got major social media coverage.

as for cnn http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/16/investing/gasoline-prices-shortage-pipeline-leak/index.html

Okay thanks. It was just the first I've seen it and I've been in hurricanes and gas lines. Like I said, just don't want to see anyone unprepared. Top off the tank if you can and get what groceries you need. Usually the grocery stores get a run on by folks at the first warning. Been through enough hurricane warnings to know how that goes and then nothing happens but you got your stuff for the next time.

Yes, it's a sort of conspiracy site that I somehow signed up for email for. Most of the stuff I ignore but this didn't sound made up. They do send out warnings from time to time as they wait for the apocolypse.

I'm filling up today. CA gas prices are so unstable. I swear they raise them when a mosquito toots.
Out here in the sticks, we run everything on ethanol, lol.
