Grocery Stores, Gas Stations Generator-Ready
MIAMI, Fla. (WTVJ-TV) -- Private enterprise will play a major role in any post-hurricane recovery. That's the word from Curt Sommerhoff, the director of Miami-Dade County's Emergency Operations Center.
Case in point: a number of grocery stores and gas stations are now equipped with a generator.
In the past, filling up after a hurricane was a mission. Long lines plagued consumers. Getting gas was time-consuming, and compounded by those filling up gas cans for use in generators.
Now, under a state-mandated program, almost 60 gas stations will be able to provide gasoline - and that total hopefully will be augmented by stations that have escaped power outages.

Don't give me that excuse they never had a hurricane ever.
