As industry experts and government officials beg drivers in the Southeast not to hoard gas, another plea is coming from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission: "Do not fill plastic bags with gasoline."

"We know this sounds simple, but when people get desperate they stop thinking clearly," the commission tweeted on Wednesday. "They take risks that can have deadly consequences. If you know someone who is thinking about bringing a container not meant for fuel to get gas, please let them know it's dangerous."

Guess we should hurry and get the schools open again.
