GHAAA! (Gasoline, panic attack)
Yow, I'm edgy.
I went out tonight on a sour cream and household cleaner run, and found myself faced with what looked like an accident on the corner of 19th and Dunlap, with the traffic backed up from the corner all the way up past the M&I bank. It wasn't an accident, though -- it was a line for the gas station.
After having my second seemingly-innocuous-incident-panic-attack in two years (the first one was early in the morning of the Little Fayoumis's fifth birthday when there was a terrible accident where a plane slammed into the side of a building in NYC, at which point I went outside with my cellphone and called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
votania and told her that the shit was going down -- and then the other plane hit) I came home and hit Google. marxdarx could tell how hard I was panicking.
It seems that the gas pipeline between Tucson and Phoenix ruptured on the 30th of July, and was shut down on August the 8th. Since then, gas has been coming in very, very slowly by truck, and it's therefore becoming more scarce.
The pipeline is expected to be running again within two weeks.

However, this source had a different set of information: the gas is getting here all right, but it is somehow not getting distributed fast enough. No one that article talked to seems to know quite why.
