Default I hope all the hoarders are happy

with their full gas tanks. I came across families coming from Tampa trying to get gas on their evacuation routes off of I-75 at 44. Some were crying, because they couldn't find gas. Meanwhile, villagers who are NOT evacuating were sucking up the gas so fast that most of the stations were out by 7 am. I know this because I was in search of propane. I have 70 miles until empty but I wasn't trying to buy gas. It hurt me to the core to see these families who are trying to reach their destination but they can't. I have also watched Villagers topping off a half full car just because they are selfish hoarders who apparently fall into the "entitled villagers" category because "they can". I literally asked one at a gas station why they were filling up if they aren't leaving, the response, "because I can".
This disappoints me. Be BETTER than that!
I know that everyone on this board is perfect and not a soul will admit to doing it, but I know who you are. I hope you are happy keeping people from getting to safety.
