Gov. Bush warns residents of gas shortages

Tallahassee, Florida - Governor Jeb Bush is warning Florida could see shortages of gasoline in coming days as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

The hurricane roared through the nation's major gas refineries and shut down production of thousands of oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

Bush says Florida has worked with the U-S Department of Energy and the Petroleum Industry to bring significant supplies of gasoline into the state's ports.

But David Mica of the Florida Petroleum Council says it will take time before oil rigs and refineries are operating again.

Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Colleen M. Castille says Florida is working with major fuel companies to maintain fuel levels.

D-E-P reports that more than 162 million gallons of fuel was in storage or at Florida's ports for distribution throughout the state.
