It’s not necessarily “hoarding” - it’s precautionary. As a Florida native, gassing up your car before a storm is prudent. When Andrew slammed into Homestead in ‘92, we were without power for 2 weeks (as were all the gas stations), & gas trucks didn’t get into the area for nearly 3 weeks. The people who filled up their tanks in advance were smart!
