Long lines formed at some gas stations in South Florida yesterday (May 12) amid fuel shortage fears after the Colonial Pipeline hack.

Officials have tried to reassure residents that the pipeline problems shouldn't affect South Florida because the region's gasoline supply doesn't come from the pipeline.

Despite the reassurances, long lines formed at a Costco gas station in Boca Raton and a Shell station in Delray Beach.

Gas lines are forming in South Florida in response to the Colonial Pipeline hacking. Officials have tried to reassure residents that the pipeline problems shouldn't affect South Florida because the region's gasoline supply doesn't come from the pipeline, it's transported from refineries along the Gulf of Mexico by ships and barges. Despite the reassurances, motorists are forming gas lines at some service stations. Even stations without lines appear to be experiencing higher-than-normal demand. Officials are worried that panic buying may increase demand to the point that it actually causes shortages in some instances. Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency to ensure a reliable supply of gasoline in the region.
