    Driving up from Fort Myers this weekend, and was wondering the situation in the Gainesville area? Gas, food, etc..

    Thanks,

    Wasn’t sure how the two storms affected supplies in the area. Thanks

    Milton caused no real disruptions that I know of. Helene made a mess, but we’ve had no issues getting anything. I was able to buy gas and food pretty easily the day after both. Within two days pretty much everything was back up and running. Rural residential areas took longer to get power back, but grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants were mostly all back up and running by the time I woke up. You should have no issues.
