 New York and New Jersey drivers and homeowners scrambled to secure fuel for their cars and generators  on Wednesday after Sandy hit gasoline stations started to run dry.
“I don’t have any lights and need this gasoline for my generator,” said Abdul Rahim at a Getty service station in Brooklyn, NY as he put two full jerry cans into his trunk.
Tempers flared as a queue of more than 50 cars spilled down the street, with drivers blaring horns, shouting and getting out of their cars.
Signs reads 'GAS BUT NO POWER, POWER BUT NO GAS'
A line of cars at a gas station on Route 1 and 9 South in Linden, New Jersey stretched at least four miles.
PRICES SPIKE BLACK MARKET OPENS
 This is beginning to sound like a typical day in Lagos, Nigeria.
