Has anyone seen a backup generator at the local gas station?

It is law in Florida. If they are on an evacuation route, they need
backup power.

Is it the law that they have to stay open and not evacuate themselves?


I doubt that would be enforceable but they still have to have a
generator to show the inspectors when they test the pumps.

I'd agree on ability to enforce an evacuation. As long as a
station/store can get fuel and ice supplied, my bet is they stay open.

Didn't FL/NJ pass laws on price gouging??

That moonbat idea has done nothing but limit the availability of supplies during a natural disaster. One hapless fellow took a box van load of bottled water down South to one of the areas wrecked by a hurricane. He wasn't expecting to make a killing off of it by charging a ridiculous price like $10 a bottle but soon after he got there, The National Guard took his water at gunpoint. He learned his lesson and will never try to help out people in need again. Now the government has control of the supply chain and everyone knows how well government handles things like that. The retards and Affirmative Action morons running FEMA demonstrated their exceptional competence in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. o_O
