Anybody else run into not be able to get fuel in Virgina or Ohio or elsewhere because of the power outages so fuel islands are shut down.
I've run into this between Richmond,Va and west Virgina.
Guess we should'ver fueled up yesterday before coming over here.

Reported that 6 dead and something like 900,000 customers without power in Virgina and close to 3 Million in Eastern USA after the storms hit , also effecting CELL service in many areas. State of Emergency declared in some areas.

In the Columbus Ohio....central Ohio area, they are estimating 5 to 7 days before everyone has power.
I was lucky and only was off for 2.5 hours. There were winds up to 80 mph....which is the low range of a hurricane....had me concerned as me and my daughter stood on the front porch watching.
When the branches and furniture started flying, we headed indoors.

Just dodged that mess yesterday. Got into Canton, OH and heard the weather advisories for the area that I came up through on 77. Crazy weather lately.
