Less than two miles away at 14th Street and Allison Street NW, an Exxon station was out of fuel, at least temporarily. Emerson Torres lives in the neighborhood and works in home construction, and was trying to fill up his white van so he could go to work. He had been able to fill up his personal car that morning but was left stranded with just an eighth of a tank in his work van.
