I’m born and raised in Alabama, and still am here.
Just to make it a little clearer. How often do we get snow, especially in South Alabama?
Have you tried driving in it with people who have NEVER driven in it? I have, and it ain’t fun.
Of course they clear out the stores, BUT its for basics. Soup, bread, and bottled water. JUST like we do for Hurricanes.
Alot of people tho, (cause you obviously ain’t still here) have learned their lesson, and keep at least a weeks worth of food on hand...just in case.
“Have you tried driving in it with people who have NEVER driven in it?”
Well, yes. As I mentioned before, I grew up in Alabama.
And the very first time I drove in snow I wrecked my car....as I myself was the guy who had never driven in it.
I was just mentioning that cleared shelves aren’t new, and I’ve seen them before...perhaps even a commentary on how its a regular event but only becomes newsworthy if it happens in NYC.
I imagine the same thing happens when hurricanes and other slow motion natural disasters hit.
