RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) – Virginia Governor Ralph Northam declares a state of emergency Tuesday amid the ongoing distribution issues from the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline.
The pipeline is one of Virginia’s largest fuel providers and was shut down over the weekend after a ransomware cyber-attack on May 7; the pipeline runs from Texas to New York Harbor.
“The concern to me is how someone gets into your system, more so than temporarily being without gas,” said Michael Bourne who was filled up his tank.
