Panic Shopping Before A Blizzard The Shelves Are Emtpy

I was out last night (Sunday) to get a quart of milk on the way home and was shocked to find that the stores had been stripped bare. The shelves were absolutely gutted. People are panic shopping before the massive blizzard hits.

They are calling it a storm of potentially historic proportions.

People are panic buying up all the dairy products, fresh produce, flashlights and batteries, meats and more. The shelves in the store look like a post apocalyptic scene. It is surreal walking through the stores right now.

In Lowes the entire store was empty. It looked like a zombie apocalypse film where I was the last man on Earth. I was totally alone in the entire store. No customers and not a clerk to be found. They called all the employees up to the garden center to handle the mad rush of sales.

Generators, gas cans, fuel, snow blowers and shovels were being carted out in droves.

Walking through the store felt so strange.

This is what happens when you are not prepared. All I needed was some milk. It feels good to not have any need to panic just before a storm hits.

This is a good reminder that everyone should have at least two weeks worth of food on hand at all times. Everyone should especially have plenty of water on hand in case of a power outage. When the power goes out there is no more running water.

Be Prepared.
