Gas shortages: Why the Florida governor declared a state of emergency

According to the governor's office, DeSantis signed executive order 21-105 in response to a cyberattack on the pipeline, resulting in gas shortages across the eastern seaboard. The cyberattack disabled computer systems responsible for fuel production.

The governor's executive order removes limits on weight for tanker trucks and requirements that they only travel at certain times during the day.

This order is going to have a big impact on the Panhandle, because much of their gas supply comes from Georgia, which is served by the Colonial iPpeline.The goal is to get trucks moving into that part of Florida right away, where between a third and half of gas stations are out of gas.

Supplies are also being moved from Jacksonville to the Panhandle, and tanker trucks need to be able to move up the East Coast to reinforce the Jacksonville area.
