Exxon out of Gas

It's an oddity when a major service station runs on empty around here. Exxon and other service stations have done just that here in Memphis,TN. You don't hear much about these kind of things in main stream world news. Take the the time last year for example, when New York had their Power Outage. The same time Memphis was hit by a tornado that left 80% of the city and surrounding areas without power for weeks.

The Station managers I've talked to say they are expecting delivers "any minute." That was three days ago, but still no gas. Even though you hear that the quake in tsunami has not damaged oil and gas pipelines (where Exxon and other major suppliers feed from) you have to wonder if we are going to feel the after shocks and tremors in the Eastern World. For those that don't know, Memphis is considered the Heart of the US distribution of products of any kind. Fedex main office is located in Memphis, along with AutoZone, Hewlett Packard (five warehouse), Technocolor (4 warehouse, who distributes for Warner Bros, Disney, and panasonic), Napa autoparts, Cummins diesel , Barnes & Noble .com, Sharp, the list goes on... Everything comes down and up that River before it goes anywhere else. So where's our gas!
