BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — While there are still stations without fuel, the vast majority of gas stations in and around Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and unincorporated South Palm Beach County now have fuel.
GasBuddy.com reports that shipments are now arriving at area gas stations as expected. Shortages and gas station closures are slowly but surely being rectified. The map above indicates a broad view of gas stations that have at least some fuel (yellow), and those that have none as of Friday (orange). Stations represented by a purple icon are operating at normal capacity.
Gas stations across South Florida are still feeling at least some of the impact from last week’s historic floods in Fort Lauderdale. While there’s no shortage of fuel in the area, the supply chain was dramatically impacted when tankers couldn’t enter Port Everglades to load up on fuel, and those that could found flooded roads impossible to pass.
It is expected that all area stations will be back to normal within the next several days. We note that turnpike rest stops seem to be largely unaffected by the fuel issues.
