It is a rumor. That is all. It has been spreading on the internet and is false.

We here at the station have been working that story all day, and it is FALSE....that is not being considered by Gov. Bush.

Scott, maybe it's deja vu, but I could SWEAR that I've read that very same forecast somewhere on the web. Maybe it was the , or Melbourne NWS or Tampa Bay NWS.
Maybe it's just me, though.

You know you're a hurricane freak when you wake up in the morning and hit "REFRESH" on CFHC instead of the Snooze Button.

JEB TO ISSUE EMERGENCY EXECUTIVE ORDER TO STOP THE SALE OF GAS OR CURTAIL THE SALE IN CERTAIN CITIES BEGINNING AT 8:00 P.M. -- FILL UP NOW, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFTER THAT!!!
This is more than likely an untrue rumor..unless you have valid proof, please do not post statements like this!

That's not good.. Thomas was dead on last 'cain so tell him thank you for his observations. I live in Tampa Bay area and a cat3 blow would devestate our area.
His observations are a bit murky this time.. 55% here, 50% there - I liked the 'Miami-Ft Meyers or Ft. Lauderdale to Sarasota' type of projecting he did last time. Can he narrow down his thoughts a bit more?

Thnx for the reply. You may be right but why would the Governor notify the news ahead of a ration? Would that not cause the very panic buying/hording of gas that a ration is intended to prevent?

I believe people were passing on information they felt was accurate. I don't think there is any reason to get upset at individuals for attempting to inform us. Half of what gets posted on here is speculation anyway. I believe that individual stations in Polk county have decided to ration on their own, which is the likely source of the rumor. According to the state, stations have the leeway to ration if they feel they need to.

I would like to remind folks that one of the most dangerous things is to spread rumors in a time of crisis. This is the time when ANYTHING posted by a non-official source or not relayed via credible news sources should not be considered reliable and should not be spread until it has been confirmed by an official source.
The danger of a gas ration rumor will cuase the equivilent of a run on the bank. If everyone runs out now and tries to get gas, they it may become a self fulfiling rumor becuase restrictions will have to be put in place to prevent stupidity from depeleting the gas supply.
Do not spread unsubstantiated rumors. If you have information, include an official source or link as backup.

Yes rumors are very dangerous....Having said that I LOVE this site. Thanks everyone. I just got at of a manager meeting in my office complex in Tampa (I live in Lakeland) and we were told that a gas ration IS going to be started this eve. I do not know that validity of this, but I know it is being BELIEVED witch can be just as though it is FACT. People need to remain calm.... After 2 already I am surprised by the panic I seam to see with . I wonder why? I too feel like this one is to be feared......

There is a difference between speculating where a hurricane might or might not end up versus spreading a potentially false rumor...which could have far reaching effects on the populace as a whole...see Rasvar's above comments which are excellent.
All that is being asked is if one has "information" of this nature that a credible source be cited. Thanks.
