There is also the Plantation pipeline which traverses roughly the same route, except it terminates in the DC area. It only carries 720K barrels a day versus the Colonial's 2500K barrels a day, but it's something.

I am flying through ATL on Thursday, hopefully Delta is managing the situation.

Meanwhile all 3 of my cars are full or nearly so, but by happenstance and not sitting in line at gas stations.
