Colonial Pipeline Resumes Operations Amid Fuel Shortages and Price Hikes
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colonial Pipeline says it has begun resuming operations after suffering
a cyberattack last Friday. Colonial, which is owned by Royal Dutch
Shell, Koch Industries and others, transports nearly half of the East
Coast's fuel supply from Texas to New Jersey. Two-thirds of North
Carolina's gas stations are empty. Colonial said it would take a few
days for supplies to return to normal as some drivers have taken to
hoarding gas amid fuel shortages and price hikes.
