Cars were all over the sides of the road that had run out of GAS. God forbid it rains and they have the wipers on eating battery power.
You don't even need to go into that level of detail, Canucks just don't understand how long "America's wang" really is. My ICE Corvette has a highway range of about 250 miles even if nobody gets in my way, and has no ability to drive across water. If I am in Miami, and wish to leave the state of Florida without refueling, I am just plain shit out of luck, by about a hundred miles.

My comments and your comments together add up to a very real reality of mass evacuations from Florida. If the gas stations run empty along the major highways, those leaving late from South Florida are going to be rightfully ****ed.
