( CNN ) -- Cheri Morgan spent about half-an-hour in line at a Houston-area gas station on Thursday before evacuating the city . iReporter Cheri Morgan says drivers were panicking Thursday at a Houston , Texas , gas station . `` Everyone was driving crazy and they really need some kind of traffic flow at the gas stations . It 's wild , '' she said . `` Everybody 's rushing and panicking . I could have stayed , but I thought it was best to just get out of there . '' Morgan said it took her about five hours to make the 200 mile drive to San Antonio -- a trip that normally only takes about three hours . Ike is expected to make landfall on the Gulf Coast of Texas , which is home to many of the country 's oil refineries . That 's led to a scramble at gas stations as people try to fill up before the storm hits . iReport.com : Are you in Ike 's path ? People were filling up their cars and their gas cans at a Sam 's Club in College Station , Texas , iReporter Kyle Norton told CNN.com . `` The lines were a tad ridiculous , '' the 30-year-old banker said . Norton said his 2002 Dodge Ram pickup was on empty , so he had no choice but to wait in line for an hour . Despite the long lines , Norton said gas was about $ 3.49 , which is pretty normal for the area . He said a friend had to go to four different stations before he could find one that still had regular unleaded . iReporter Jeremy `` Clete '' Terrell said the lines also were long at the Costco in Alpharetta , Georgia . `` I was getting gas and realized that everybody else was too , '' he said . iReporter Curtis McNeely said a Kangaroo Express station in Evansville , Indiana , imposed a 10 gallon limit . `` It 's causing paranoia more than anything , '' he said adding that people are returning to the gas station to fill up multiple times . A spokeswoman for the company that runs the Kangaroo Express chain says it 's imposed a limit at its 1,660 stores because gas supplies are tight . Several stations in Ocala , Florida , were limiting sales if they still had gas to sell , iReporter Christine Bailey said . Canadian Ian McIntosh said gas prices jumped 57 cents per gallon overnight in Milton , Ontario . `` This stuff 's in the tanks , it 's just sitting in the gas stations , they 're using this as a windfall event , '' the retired teacher said . McIntosh said he heard prices were going up on the news , so he and his wife got gas last night -- along with many other residents of the Toronto suburb . `` A gas station that would normally have three or four cars -- you had 15 cars and you had to line up to get to the pumps , '' he said . Rumors that gas would jump to $ 6 a gallon caused a panic in Sylva , North Carolina . iReport.com : Police called in at mountain gas station .
