On a tour of Miami-Dade and Broward counties you can currently find two situations: gas stations that do have fuel but with long lines and others where they have not had gasoline for several days.
This has been a rough weekend for drivers in South Florida after gas delivery was impacted by inclement weather last week. Heavy flooding ended up preventing regular fuel delivery to stations in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
Daniel Herrera is one of many people who have had to make a long journey to look for gasoline but their journey has not been successful. “I’m worried because if I don’t find gasoline how do I go home… I can’t take the car to the man,” the man who says he has gone to four gas stations questions, alarmed, “you have to inform the people so that you don’t jump into for the street without knowing that you will not see gasoline”.
The manager of a fuel station located on West 49th Street in Hialeah says that he does not know when the fuel will arrive, at his gas station all the stations are out of service.
“So far we don’t know when the deliveries of gas, they do not give us an explanation yet. Only that we turn off the engines because there is no more gasoline,” explains Daniela Cerda, who works at a Mobil gas station that has had no supply since Friday and has caused the business to feel the impact.
“They come to consume both gasoline and store products, so sales have dropped a lot,” says Daniela Cerda, a worker at a Mobil gas station.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine-Cava addressed the situation by saying, in part, “the county is working closely with our state and federal partners to ensure gas is distributed as quickly as possible to local stations.” .
However, affected drivers continue to fear that this shortage will turn into a crisis.
“I’m running out of gasoline … let’s see if a gasoline downpour falls and it stops the rain,” said Daniel Herrera jokingly, one of the drivers affected by the fuel shortage.
Many Miami gas stations do not have a date to receive fuel, something that for some is strange.
The authorities -for their part- encouraged the public to be patient and not rush to the pumps since they assure there is enough fuel in the port and in ships that are at sea arriving and are arriving in South Florida, so very soon will be distributed.
