Gas Shortage Paralyzes South Florida After Storm Cripples Fuel Infrastructure

Extreme weather caused flooding and disrupted gas distribution in southern Florida, leading to long lines and panic buying at gas stations.
Over half of gas stations in major cities like Fort Lauderdale and Miami were without fuel.
Although fuel supply remains sufficient, delivery has been delayed and strained by increased demand.
Officials urge drivers not to panic buy and expect the situation to normalize in the coming days as delivery resumes and tankers arrive.
The gas shortage came amid rising fuel prices, with the average gas price in Florida at $3.562 per gallon.
