CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â There are only theories as to why gas stations across the Coastal Bend saw long lines of cars Tuesday leading to some stations running out of gasoline entirely.
Power outages attributed to the current Arctic blast forcing lots of people to turn to generators for electricity could be a contributing factor.
Brian Breaux s home on North Padre Island has been without power for two days.
He bought gasoline for his generator at the Stripes gas station at Morgan and Crosstown Tuesday.
âEvery gas station Iâve been to has been really busy, Breaux said. They were all the way back towards the island. Thereâs a lot of chaos right now over fuel. I donât know why. This storm isn t going to last forever.â
