I had not heard of a big bust in '78... maybe some were calling for the Cleveland Superbomb to be snow in New England but it wound up being a big rainer/torch? I really don't know
We went out for dinner. On the way home I passed a gas station with zero people at it.
I then stopped at the one I typically use to fill up and it was a zoo. Very weird. Several pumps were closed.
The two stations are within a mile of each other.
