A Three Hour Wait For Gas Means Things are Still a Long Way From Normal After Sandy

My wife is a TV reporter in Brooklyn. She's had an extraordinary week, to say the least.

She's been lucky however, to be able to drive back to a home that wasn't flooded, and with electricity. All that driving meant that Friday night she needed to get gas for her car, and that's been a whole other problem for those who were hit hardest by Sandy.
