I posted these pictures to just give you an idea of how at the beginning of any emergency, things fly off the shelves and there is very little to go around when you have EVERYone waiting to the last minute to stock up. Ernesto ended up being a non-event thank goodness but if things had turned out differently, the abundance you still see on the shelves would have been totally stripped away.
I cannot stress enough the importance of being prepared AHEAD of time. You may not have hurricanes in your area, but unfortunately there are too many disasters that could hit any one of us at any given time.
Taking the time to do NOW what you may want to put off till later will afford you the security of being able to walk around like I did, not needing a thing and watching others trying to scarf up limited supplies.
Just something to think about.

You know what has always bothered me about last minute
buying in case of a major disaster either by nature or terrorism? Why do people think that the cashiers will
be there to ring up their order. On another forum, this
member posted that in the event of a terrorist attack,
he had the location of everything he needed from Sam's
Club. He would make a quick run through on the way home.
Yeah, right. In the event of a terrorist attack, the
cashiers will be long gone. Hope he had a plan B.
BTW, I can't blame the cashiers, can you?
