Hurricane Ida: Tempers flare at gas station in New Orleans during power outage

Tempers were flaring Tuesday at a Shell station on South Claiborne and Washington avenues in Central City, where cars were lined up and crowds formed around gas pumps.
It was one of very few gas stations in the city that was open Tuesday.
Some residents were filling up multiple gas cans, and there were complaints of line-cutting.
A handful of New Orleans police officers to try to defuse the tension. It didn’t appear anyone was arrested.
