I had to go to Hendersonville NC today it is only 30 minutes form our home and I thought It would be a pretty quick trip. Wrong, I was surprised to see gas lines about 1 mile in both directions with police officers directing traffic, with traffic back up everywhere I turned. My kids were with me and this was a first for them, but the fight that we saw at a traffic light was unreal. People were outside there cars screaming and yelling about someone taking to much gas and hording gas. The police had to come! I thought I was never going to get out of the traffic. I found out later that only 5 stations had gas today the rest were closed for gas. On the way home I found traffic lines in Travelers Rest because everyone form NC came down here for gas and now gas stations in Travelers Rest are now out of gas. We did find that in Greer and Taylors there was gas available. Times are really bad and we must be patient and help each other out. What is a huge fight going to do to solve the problem. My daughter was feet away on her side of the car from the fight and there was not 1 thing I could do. She was worried they would get pushed into our car. This is very sad and I feel this community really needs to pray for each other! I remember as a kid in the 70's they made people buy gas on certain days. What is up!
