So, every hurricane season, we see news flashes of local grocery stores and their shelves being completely gutted. There's a lack of supplies and some people struggling to get stuff that they're going to need to hold through the storm. Now, I don't live in a natural disaster area (except for an occasional blizzard), but if I did, I'd think that I'd have a supply of bottled water, canned foods, some batteries/ flashlights, etc. as part of my normal instead of waiting for the hurricane tracked to point in my direction. Is this not a thing in hurricane zones?
I don't live in an disaster area, but I have that stuff anyway. Frist you never know. Second, the canned foods and such are just crap we bought 5 years ago and now just takes up space in the pantry. Running out to the store just prevents me from eating quinoa and vienna sausages.
