DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- It was a chaotic scene at the Walmart on Glenn School Road in Durham as people scrambled to get water and other supplies.
An ABC11 Eyewitness recorded the video as people pushed, shoved, tugged in efforts to get their cases of bottle water and other supplies and Walmart workers and security tried to keep order.

One group seems to vaguely enjoy chaos.

I’d like to think this would happen at any number of places but for some reason, Durham doesn’t surprise me a bit.

A couple missed meals wouldn’t hurt anyone in that video.
Yikes.

Bottled water, okay. But how’s the bread, milk, and toilet paper holding out?

Florence has been predicted to hit for a while. Anybody who waited til yesterday to get supplies is an idiot.

Right on time. I lived in FL for 25 years and two days before the hurricane comes is when the shelves get emptied. Water, bread, any kind of easy to make meal, plywood, generators. Beer and wine also.

We don’t have a go bag but at any time we could probably eat for at least 2 weeks on what is in the house. May not be what we want but we wouldn’t get hungry. I don’t understand people who have nothing in their homes. Maybe because my grandmother and mother was like me. Always had food on hand.

Florence has been predicted to hit for a while. Anybody who waited til yesterday to get supplies is an idiot. Agreed. Same can be said for Katrina, but there are plenty of folk that believe they can withstand anything.

When wintertime comes in NYS, I always have plenty of edibles.
What I wish is that we had gas stoves instead of dumb electric.
Last year, we had rec center opened. It was great.
Flourescent lantern and portable radio can help you get through the deafening silence of no electricity.

Exactly!
The worst thing about a disaster is some of the people.
