While lines were wrapped around blocks, cyber security experts warn the Colonial Pipeline breach exposed a threat that goes well beyond the pump.

That incident didn't affect me at all.
Shortly after we moved here, that same pipeline was shut down due to a fire and there wasn't a drop of gas in Macon County for a few days, and I was caught short with only an eighth of a tank.
Right after that, I started buying and filling 5 gallon cans in case something like that happened again - and it did.
Now I maintain anywhere between 40 and 50 gallons of gas in my shed, rotating it out on a regular basis to keep it from going bad.
