My state implemented a rule (not sure if it's a law) that as soon as
a hurricane watch is called, all gas stations along designated
evacuation routes must arrange to top off (to at least 60%) their
storage tanks.

Except in the numerous but small flood-prone areas we evacuate to our
basements. I suppose that's not a common option in the South. You can
live a lot longer on whatever is in your house than what's in your
car.
