Ahead of the storm making landfall, GasBuddy has activated an interactive tracker for those in Florida to see what gas stations are running low or are out of fuel.

GasBuddy, a company that aims to help connect customers with fuel savings, said users can use the tracker to report when gas stations are low or out of fuel to help other gas-seekers know where to go. The tracker can be downloaded on both iPhone and Android devices or accessed online at tracker.gasbuddy.com.

According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of gas in Florida is around $3.09. Most Tampa Bay area counties are seeing gas prices ranging from $3.09 to around $3.30.
