Yesterday afternoon, the Tom Thumb in Dune Allen (west end of 30-A) was out of gas.

Many stations in Destin were also reported as being out of gas. Diesel is still difficult to find, but it is available in select locations in Panama City.

Yesterday afternoon we had to go to Ft. Walton Beach Airport and noticed long lines at the gas stations along Hwy. 20 and some stations out of gas with bags over their pumps handles, including some on 98 and the station at corner of 98 and 30A (west end). I think Tom Thumb on 30A had gas but it was getting dark so can't be sure. Haven't been out and about today to give you an update.

FYI, there is more than one Tom Thumb on 30-A.

I love that Tom Thumb in Seagrove Beach. When we got in past midnight after a 13 hour drive last week, they were open! And they had cold beer. Who cares if they're out of gas half the time when the beer is cold! The ice cream is pretty good, too. What's the brand again? Blue Bell? Yummmmmmm.

these gas shortages remind me of 'the beer game' where the moral of the story is to end the last turn with the least 'surplus inventory' and the initial demand spike causes shortages all the way up the supply chain.
