Ron DeSantis Under Pressure Over Florida Gas Shortage: 'Where is He?'
Newsweek, Apr 20, 2023

Ron DeSantis is being put under further pressure to resolve Florida's gas shortage issue as Twitter users rage at the governor.

Southern Florida has been affected by gas shortages after last week's extreme weather, most notably high levels of flooding, disrupted the regular distribution and delivery of fuel.

Heavy rain in eastern Broward County last week caused floods in Port Everglades roads, after last week's extreme weather, most notably high levels of flooding, disrupted the regular distribution and delivery of fuel.

Social media users have complained and shared clips of gas stations without any fuel and the long lines they would have to queue in to get any gas.

Earlier this week, DeSantis took a trip to Washington, D.C., in an alleged bid to gain support within his party to challenge former President Donald Trump for the GOP nomination, according to a CNN report.

Angela Van Der Pluym, an investigative journalist according to her Instagram bio, responded to a tweet praising DeSantis for signing a new bill.

Der Pluym tweeted: "Anyone can sign a bill written by someone else for a 5 min photo op, Jenna. Where is he when his state needs him most?

"He was absent during the flood, and now they haven't had gas in 4 days. Oh yeah, out of state secretly campaigning."

Classic media ambush. Wait for something to go wrong, then shout for the whole room 'Where's Ron DeSantis? Where is he?'

The shortage is in part because there are people hoarding gas.  Ft. Lauderdale and the surrounding are had historic rainfall and flooding.  The airport was shutdown.

The storm was a major weather event -- normally issues with gas follows.

When Nicole came through, you expected him to drop everything and respond to Donald's sundowner tweets.  Why don't you rent a gas truck and haul some petrol to the 7-Eleven in Fort Liquordale.

The shortage in South Florida was caused by panic buying by a bunch of snowbird New Yorkers and other Yankee scum.  This doesn't happen during hurricane season because by then, all the Yankees have gone back North.

That is what happens when a Governor decides he may run for President ... both Mike Dukakis (1986-1990) and Mitt Romney (2002-2006) left Massachusetts high-n'-dry the last two years of their terms as Governor ... Floridians better get used to having an absentee governor.

No one, including me, faulted DeSantis for what caused the problem.  Floridians, however, do fault him for ignoring it @mountaineer Maybe he should appoint an acting governor while he's away not campaigning for president?

Rubio Roasted For Video on Florida Gas Shortage: ‘Maybe He Could Call His United States Senator?’

Alex Griffing  |  Apr 20th, 2023, 2:41 pm

Florida’s senior U.S. senator, Marco Rubio (R-FL), received a bevy of criticism on Wednesday and Thursday after he posted a clip raging against the ongoing gas shortages in parts of his state and voiced frustration that “they still can’t figure” it out.

Rubio tweeted the clip on Wednesday with the caption, “FOUR DAYS and they still can’t figure out how to get enough gasoline to South #Florida #GasShortage.” As of Thursday afternoon, the video had received nearly 2 million views and gone viral — although probably not for the reasons Rubio was hoping.  .  .  .

Every resource available should be deployed to fix this.

What’s behind Miami’s gas shortage? More fuel is on the way, but woes may continue

HOWARD COHEN, LINDA ROBERTSON, AND OMAR RODRÍGUEZ ORTIZ  |  UPDATED APRIL 19, 2023 12:13 PM

“This is now a story of runaway panic-buying that is just unsustainable,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “It’s kind of like designing houses for a 1,000-year flood, so to speak. These are extremely rare. And now it’s kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Motorists have been encountering lines, they’ve been getting panicked. They have no idea how to respond. And just like during the Colonial Pipeline [cyberattack] situation in 2021, and during hurricanes Harvey and Irma, back in 2017, motorists are now straining the system to the point that it’s going to be impossible for the system to work in the way it was designed,” he said Tuesday in a phone interview with the Miami Herald. Of course, it is not all panic buying. Some motorists waiting in line have empty tanks and need to replenish to get their children to school. Or to power their cabs, Ubers or delivery trucks. Lines started forming by the weekend, a couple days after authorities said that the Fort Lauderdale storms and resulting floods on April 12 disrupted operations at Port Everglades.

The Broward County facility is the hub for about 40% of the gasoline into Florida and serves 12 counties south of Lake Okeechobee, including Miami-Dade, Broward, the Keys and Palm Beach County. By 11 a.m. Tuesday morning, with additional petroleum companies opening overnight Monday and Tuesday, the majority that handle gas — eight out of 11 — are now operating, said Joy Oglesby, a spokeswoman for Port Everglades and Ellen Kennedy, the director of external affairs for the port.  .  .  .

.  .  .  Over 500,000 gallons of fuel is making its way to South Florida to ease the fuel crunch. Orchestrated by the Florida Division of Emergency Management, the first set of trucks are expected to arrive at gas stations Tuesday night and the rest on Wednesday. The fuel is coming from Port Canaveral and Tampa, which emergency management has been pulling from since Friday to help aid the flooded Port Everglades when torrential downpour hit. Emergency management has also deployed over 20 industrial vacuum trucks, water pumps and other water mitigation assets to de-flood Broward. Miami-Dade is also working with the state and federal governments to restore gas distribution, and helped with Tampa and Port Canaveral sending fuel, county Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said in a statement Tuesday.

Relief at the pump? Port Everglades is now fully operational — more gas is on the way

Howard Cohen, Miami Herald • Friday

Good news for the gas-starved?

While many of you are still striking out at the pumps in Miami-Dade and Broward, there are encouraging reports.

First up: All the gas terminals are back up and running at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale nine days after the region took in nearly 26 inches of rain in a single afternoon.

The 12 gas terminals owned by private petroleum companies took most of the week to trickle back to full operation after flooding and damage.

That’s one means by which more fuel, which is ample, should begin to reach parched stations as demand has soared.  .  .

While many of you are still striking out at the pumps in Miami-Dade and Broward, there are encouraging reports.

First up: All the gas terminals are back up and running at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale nine days after the region took in nearly 26 inches of rain in a single afternoon.

The 12 gas terminals owned by private petroleum companies took most of the week to trickle back to full operation after flooding and damage.

That’s one means by which more fuel, which is ample, should begin to reach parched stations as demand has soared.  .  .
