In scenes reminiscent of Y2K and the early 1970s, Tuesday saw local gas stations across the Tri-County area experiencing long lines of panicked motorists worried about a gas shortage hitting the region.
The panic at the pumps was exacerbated by a recent ransomware attack that shut down the Colonial Pipeline, the largest refined products pipeline in the United States. Based in Alpharetta, Georgia, the Colonial Pipeline is privately owned and carries approximately three million barrels of fuel a day across a stretch of more than 5,500 miles from Texas up to New York, and services about 45 percent of the fuel on the East Coast.
