ESSEX, CT — As of 8:15 p.m. on Friday night, the Centerbrook Cumberland Farms was out of gas because so many people are prepping for the pending hurricane; filling up their cars and gas cans getting ready to be without power for an undetermined amount of time.

If you can find gas, fill up because as the night goes on more and more stations are running out!

Are you ready for the storm? What preparations have you made?
