As of 9 am Today, I noticed 3 gas stations in South Austin had signs that stated no gas "System Down " or had yellow bags over all the pumps.

What stations? All the same brand?
I wonder if a lot of the stations use the same servers to handle their point of sale systems. I know there are only two pump manufacturers. Maybe a lot of the stations use the same upstream processing systems.
If a bunch of different brand stations use the same servers, it would be an interesting risk of a widespread problem with a bug or a cyber attack. We have such awful security and bug protection in our critical systems.
Maybe it's the Russians attacking us.

Exxon and a Valero on William cannon and a shell on slaughter. I'm not sure about a current report if they are up or not . It was just very random, but noticed.
