Hmmm....
Wonder if I shouldn’t stock up on some items to sell back east?
If someone will pay $7,000 for a generator I could fill a U-haul with some and other items, wait just outside a storm and bring in the necessary items for cash.
There isn’t any law against that is there?

There are “price gouging” regulations in most places that try to suspend the law of supply and demand in an emergency. As most governments would rather have shortages than expensive goods and *gasp* profits, i believe your entrepreneurial exercise would be thwarted by state law.

At those inflated rates, I've easily got $100,000+ worth of preps down in my storeroom:
