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.
They should have the basics. Rice, Beans, noodles. Then canned sauce,milk, and meat. Fresh will spoil in 3 days with out power. Water and heat. Or bottle gas. I have found you can do much with a single 12 by 12 solar panel. From recharge a flashlight & keep the cell phone going.
3mins air
3hours shelter/clothing
3days water
3weeks food
Food(steak and carrots) is not nearly as important as water, defense and shelter considering it wont kill you not to eat this week.
Sounds like a good time for some patriots to monkey wrench the shit out of the northeast.
Now just think about a real emergency with everyone having the same idea, getting as much food as possible. There wont be any time to grab something.
HERE IS SOMETHING PEOPLE BUYING FOODS BY MAYOR AND GOVENOR, AND NOW OBAMA AND DHS SAYS IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 3 DAYS OF FOODS YOUR CONSIDERED TERRORISTS.
SO I GUESS EVERRYONE IN NYC IS NOW A TERRORISTS
Anyone at the local food bank is too by that logic. Hell you can take as much bread as you want. that is definitely more than 3 days worth of food.
I seen a picture of the first tranny with more than 3 days of vegetables at a farmers market. HANG THAT WOOKIE.
Bank ‘holiday’.
We have a “Travel Ban”, but it was announced that Wall Street will be Open tomorrow.
I meant that’s what the store shelves will look like in that eventuality, Angel.
Not that I’ll be depending on them for anything by then, hopefully.
I know. Just giving an update. 😉 So far, this is Nothing. Getting a fine/small flake, though steady snow. Ridiculous. We’ll see what we wake up to, in the morning. They are predicting only 1 1/2 – 2 feet for Manhattan. That is nothing like past “Blizzards”. It may well be bad in other areas/states. However, it hasn’t hit Us yet. Other States get Much more snow and they don’t freak out.
Still raining here. Not heavy, just a steady drizzle for now. It came down fairly hard a couple hours ago, though.
I stay out of the rain as much as possible these days. Only the absolutely minimum driving necessary, people here drive stupid enough in optimum weather conditions.
But there’s another reason. Bad enough with the chemtrail cr@p coming down in it, but the Fukushima radiation makes it totally unacceptable now. I try to not let it even touch my skin, if at all possible.
