Hurricane Isabel in 2004 hit the Hampton Roads area and no gas was available for day. I drove down there with 10 five-gallon cans in my trunk and back seat. One of the scariest rides of my life.
Oh jeez you're one of those?? Hurricane Ivan hit in 2004 and we survived over two weeks with no electricity and no generator, it's totally doable.
Also you've got to be wrong on the date, the I hurricane in 2004 was most definitely Ivan.
