>>> 9:15 ON THIS TUESDAY
MORNING.
WELCOME BACK HERE TO
LOCAL 10.
WE'RE GETTING YOU SET,
HELPING YOU OUT IN THE
AFTERMATH OF IRMA.
>> ONE OF THE KEY THINGS
YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR
THIS MORNING IS GAS.
A STATION THAT IS OPEN
AND FULL.
OUR LAYRON LIVINGSTON IS
IN HALLANDALE BEACH AND
ONE OF THE ONLY OPEN GAS
STATIONS THAT WE FOUND
IN THE AREA.
>>Reporter: AND THEY POPULAR NOW
BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
LISTENING AND WATCHING CHANNEL
10.
THIS LINE CONTINUES TO
GROW.
IT STRETCHES ALL THE WAY
BACK WE'RE HEARING TO
PEMBROKE ROAD HERE.
THIS SITS AT THE
INTERSECTION O
MLK AVENUE AND
HALLANDALE BEACH
BOULEVARD.
MY OFFICER FRIEND HERE
WITH HALLANDALE BEACH
POLICE DEPARTMENT, HE'S
LEADING THE CHARGE,
MAKING SURE EVERYONE
FOLLOWS THE RULES, NO
ONE CUTS THE LINE AND
LETTING PEOPLE KNOW HERE
AT THIS PARTICULAR
STATION IT'S CASH ONLY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WAIT IN
THIS LINE, THEY ONLY
HAVE CREDIT CARDS AND
DEBIT CARDS AND THEN
THEY WILL GET UP TO THE
PUMP AND SEE THE SIGN
THAT SAYS ONLY CASH.
NONE WE DID CHECK IN
WITH THE CLERK INSIDE
AND SHE SAYS THEY WERE
AT ABOUT 6,000 GALLONS
WHICH MEANS SHE'S
ESTIMATING THEY HAD
ENOUGH GAS HERE TO LAST
THE FOLKS MAYBE ANOTHER
HOUR AND A HALF OR SO.
THIS IS WHAT WE'VE SEEN.
PEOPLE AREN'T JUST
FILLING UP THEIR CARS,
THEY ARE ALSO FILLING UP
THEIR GAS CANS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN COMING HERE THIS
MORNING AND THAT'S WHAT
THEY GRAB FIRST BECAUSE
MANY OF THEM ARE STILL
WITHOUT POWER.
SOME FOLKS ARE TAKING
THIS GAS HOME TO FILL UP
THEIR SCREEN RATERS.
WE TALKED TO ONE LADY,
SHE TRIED TO GET IN HERE
NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE BUT
THRICE.
>> I CAME AND I SAW IT
AND THE LINE WAS SO
LONG.
I WENT HOME AND THEN I
CAME BACK AGAIN.
THE LINE WAS TOO LONG.
I JUST GOT MY LIFE BACK
SO I'M READY TO GO.
>>Reporter: PORT EVERGLADES, I
SPOKE WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES
THERE, ALL OF THE GAS THAT COMES
TO STATIONS HERE IN MIAMI BEACH
COUNTY, PALM BEACH COUNTY COMES
OUT OF MIAMI EVERGLADES.
FIVE FUEL COMPANIES ARE
UP AND ABOUT,
DISTRIBUTING FUEL TO GAS
STATIONS.
FIVE OF THEM EXPECT TO
BE UP AND RUNNING LATER
ON THIS MORNING BY
AROUND NOON.
TWO OF THOSE 12
UNFORTUNATELY HAD SOME
DAMAGE FROM THE STORM.
WE DO KNOW THAT THERE
ARE THREE MASSIVE FUEL
TANKERS OFFSHORE WAITING
FOR THE COAST GUARD'S
APPROVAL TO GET TO SHORE
SO WE CAN GET THE FUEL
SUPPLIES BACK, FULLY
STALK AND MAKE SURE AS
MANY STATIONS CAN COME
BACK ON-LINE AS
POSSIBLE.
THAT WILL CONTINGE ON
POWER.
IT WILL HAVE THE POWER
TO OPEN UP BUT WE HAVE
SEEN THOSE UTILITY CREWS
MOVING IN AND ABOUT THE
AREA HERE AND HOPEFULLY
THAT POWER GRID WILL
COME BACK UP FOR A LOT
MORE CUSTOMERS HERE IN
THE SOUTH FLORIDA AREA
AS WELL AS MAKE SURE
THOSE NUMBERS GO DOWN SO
PEOPLE CAN HAVE THEIR
AC.
A LOT OF FOLKS, THAT'S
WHY THEY ARE FILLING UP
THOSE GENERATORS AND
WAITING IT OUT AS LONG
AS YOU CAN.
IF YOU DON'T NEED GAS,
YOU DON'T HAVE A
GENERATOR TO FILL UP,
JUST STAVE OFF COMING TO
THESE GAS STATIONS
TODAY.
LET THE PEOPLE SIGNATURE
AT HOME IN THE DARK AND
HEAT, LET THEM COME OUT
HERE WITH THEIR GAS CANS
UNTIL THEY ARE FULLY
OPERATIONAL IN THEIR
HOMES.
>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT
YOU MENTIONED.
WE JUST HEARD ANOTHER
ONE'S OPEN ON RED ROAD,
57TH AVENUE JUST SOUTH
OF THE 826.
JUST AS SOON AS WE HEAR
OF ONE OPENING, WE'LL
BRING IT TO YOU
LAYRON, YOU CERTAINLY
HAVE A CROWD FORMING AT
THAT ONE.
>>Reporter: THERE WAS A GUY CAME
DOWN AT BOCA AND HE SAID THANKS
FOR THE NEWS.
I SAID WHAT?
HE SAID WE SAW YOU THIS
MORNING.
I KNEW YOU DROVE DOWN SO
I KNEW YOU HAD GAS.
PEOPLE ARE WATCHING.
AND WHEN THEY HEAR
THERE'S GAS SOMEWHERE,
THEY ARE LINING UP ON
THAT ROAD AND THEY HAVE
BEEN SITTING HERE
WAITING, MOST OF THEM
PATIENTLY.
HAVEN'T REALLY HAD ANY
ISSUES.
THE OFFICER IS HERE
MAKING SURE EVERYBODY
STAYS IN THEIR LANE, SO
TO SPEAK.
>> THAT'S A VERY GOOD
THING.
FOR MANY PEOPLE THEIR
LANE IS DESPERATION FOR
GAS RIGHT NOW.
DRIVING ALL THE WAY FROM
BOCA, LAYRON LIVINGSTON,
LIVE FOR US AT
HALLANDALE BEACH.
