Gas Shortages in Calgary, Alberta Canada.

I do not know if this is really a bigger story or if this fuel shortage is indeed caused by a storm knocking oil refineries offline.

Dozens of gas stations across the city were hit by shortages after two Edmonton-area refineries were shut down by a severe storm in mid-July.

Although both refineries have since resumed operations, the situation came at the peak of summer driving season. Petro-Canada and Imperial Oil have been working to replenish gas stations that ran dry. But the situation only worsened as motorists hit the highways for the long weekend.
