How can a city run out of natural gas?

Fern, you're too smart!! We don't have a lot of gas in our area, most homes are electric. So now if we lose power we are sh-t out of luck. shaggy

I heard on the news tonight that New Mexico is out of gas. They didn't say anything about Arizona but I guess they use the same gas lines.

e take our electric, and gas supply for granted.

But all of these energy sources have finite supply chains.

Coal has to be mined, oil has to be pumped and refined. Natural gas also has to be pumped, processed.

All of these energy sources have to then be delivered to various customers.

We are witnessing the supply chain stretched to the limit.

Unbelievable. I do hope they get heat soon, and manage to stay warm in the meantime.

The national news says it's energy problems elsewhere interrupting the supply chain.

As for us, there is no natural gas to begin with, so it's all relative.

Gas back on in Tucson, at least at my relatives.

DD got hers back on also. The gas people are actually going house to house to relight the pilots and making sure everything is in working order.
