Instead they come together when the community needs help.

Gas is important if the storm suddenly makes an unexpected shift and it is obvious it is coming at you. This happens often! If it does, you now have a small window of time to get out of Dodge. Depending on the damage/flooding, you may not be able to return for a few days. Gas is also used for generators. Some of the generators being used are in hospitals, fire stations, stores, etc. etc. Shortage on gas is possible.

Yes, and you can suction gas out of car tank into generator if needed.
