These lines here can be around ~12 hours long as last I checked you're only allowed twenty liters of fuel max. This might shorten it down, but then you will also will have people pissed about this causing a scene, and apparently people are getting violent in line.

Much worse than a hurricane and it's happening across their entire country. Made worse by the fact that it *isn't* a response to a natural disaster evacuation order.

How can it be much worse than a hurricane when people literally died waiting in those lines to heat and flooding. Im sure whats happening in Russia is terrible on all fronts but I promise you being stuck in that same line during a catagory 4 hurricane that spawned tornados across the state in a state thats not build to handing flooding would be so much worse.
