A man was filmed filling up a significant amount of gas in Odessa, Texas, amid fears---and rumors---of a fuel shortage triggered by flooding in southern Texas.
Drivers lined up at gas pumps in Texas on Thursday, Aug. 31, as stations ran out of gas, The Associated Press reported.
“People are insane right now,” Tim Flatt, the manager of Shell Station at Interstate 635 in Dallas, told AP.
“A lot of people don’t need gas, but they’re coming to get gas. It’s just been crazy.”
Lines are expected to keep going on Friday as drivers gas up before hitting the roads for the traditionally travel-heavy Labor Day weekend.
Prices will also likely rise even more.
