In its most recent posting on Wednesday morning, GasBuddy reported that 57.9% of stations in Miami and Fort Lauderdale are without fuel.

32.6% of stations in West Palm Beach are without fuel, so that means 67.4% are good to go.

If you head west on I-75 to Fort Myers and Naples, you will find that only 3.8% of stations are without fuel, but that’s 100 miles away from here.

The growing gas crisis is now nearly a week-long. It started after 25 inches of rain fell in less than one day in Fort Lauderdale last Wednesday night.

Port Everglades, where South Florida’s fuel farm is located, was inundated with rain.

Many pumping stations there were rendered inoperable.
