And this is only after one day.
What on earth is it going to be like come Friday?
Witnessing this behavior just solidifies my resolve in maintaining a stock of at-home provisions. In fact, I think I'll pick up some more supplies and ammo on the way home - these people are proving that it can't hurt to be extra-prepared for looting criminal thugs.
I live on the TX gulf coast. I have candles, radios, 5 days of food and water, a first aid kit, and lots of ammo. It is hurricane season after all.
This looting is the reason some people refuse to leave when they are told to evacuate. The looters will do the same thing they are doing to homes that are left vacant.
