i lined up at 11 pm on tuesday night and still had to wait 30 minutes. i drove to bridgewater for dinner late last night and it was eerry to drive all the way home on rt 22 east with all lights out and no uturns working. to make a u-turn you would have to drive 20 miles. i hope things get back to normal soon, i started to see tempers flaring at 1 gas station when i was eating lunch accross the street.

Well, day 5 of blackout post-storm...went out
Out for gas at 4A.M. and lines were backed up passed
Milltown Rd to wait for gas station on 22 W. To open 3 hrs. Later! I turned around and went home. The Movie Mad Max comes to mind. If the state doesn't regulate these stations....I'd hate to see what happens. Disgusted!
