PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis offered reassurance that the state has enough gas to make it through Hurricane Milton.
In a Monday morning update, the governor announced that the state is amassing large fuel reserves, including 415,000 gallons of diesel and 389,000 gallons of gasoline.
In addition, DeSantis expects at least 1.5 million gallons of both diesel and gasoline to arrive in the coming days.
