Are there any gas stations in Orlando that have emergency backup generators? When we had hurricane Charlie and Frances, there were none and nobody could get gas. They were supposed to upgrade the stations to include backup generators, but I don't think it was ever done?

State law that any gas station within a certain distance of evacuation routes and more than a certain number of pumps (four or six I believe) must have a back up generator. All of the newer and/or larger stations have one.

there was a law and they balked of $$ so do not think it ever passed after Hurricane Wilma. In any case no guarantee as in Wilma the pumps were flat on the ground and the mechanism was in shreds.
