Virginia and Georgia join North Carolina in declaring a state of emergency over gas shortages after Colonial Pipeline hack and 20 PER CENT of gas stations in Atlanta are empty as people panic buy

 

Ralph Northam, Virginia's governor, declared a state of emergency on Tuesday amid a fuel shortage

On Monday the governor of North Carolina, Roy Cooper, took a similar step in his state

The moves are designed to limit the fallout from the Colonial Pipeline crisis, which began on Thursday

The pipeline was shut from Friday to Monday due to a ransomware attack from Russia-based hackers

The 5,500-mile pipeline is being brought back on line but service will not be fully restored until end of week

The national average for retail gasoline was $2.985 on Tuesday - a seven-year high

The last time average gas prices were above $2.99 was back in November 2014

Fears of a looming shortage have already prompted panic buying with gas stations running out of fuel

Motorists were also lining up in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia

The pipeline, which runs from Texas to New Jersey, transports 45% of the East Coast's supply

The FBI has confirmed that hacking collective DarkSide was responsible for the attack

Colonial, which is based in Atlanta, Georgia, has not yet said whether it paid a ransom with the hackers

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday denied any involvement
