Gas stations in Texas are overwhelmed as panicked residents rush to fuel pumps. Although the governor of Texas says a shortage is actually being caused by man and not because of Hurricane Harvey, the effects are still being felt at home. An Enid company that hauls gasoline in the Dallas area says the necessity is getting harder and harder to find.Officials at Groendyke Transport say everyone has been stocking up on gas and the area is running out. That means their drivers are having to go long distances to get the fuel they need to haul to gas stations.“We're having to haul some fuel in from outside of the DFW market from Oklahoma, places like that 200 or 400 miles away where its normally supplied right there in that market,” Greg Hodgen with the company said. The company says they've lost $1 million as a result of the shortage so far. “Just because we haven't had anything to haul,”and you can't go anywhere…the roads in and out of the Houston area have been impassable," Hodgen said. Their largest concern is for their 175 employees who haul gas near the coast. “Many of them are out of their homes they don't know what their homes are going to be like, so we really have been primarily concerned about them," Hodgen said.
