"HURRICANE SUPPLIES:"

Liquor was left off the list. I always see lines out the door at the ABC store whenever a Hurricane or Ice Storm approaches.

Must be people stocking up for "medicinal" purposes.

"Liquor was left off the list."

I distinctly recall standing in the line at the Kroger on the way home from work on that Thursday evening in Cary in 1996 as the winds were beginning to pick up. A couple hours earlier, Greg Fischel finally decided to give in and predict that Fran was going to cause major damage in the Raleigh area. All around me were people with multiple carts filled with the last of the bottled water, bread and batteries. Me? I'm standing there holding a case of Corona and a couple of limes.
