No doubt there will be a lot of false reports mixed in with real. At least with the Internet we won't have to wait a day or a week to find out things that may impact our various regions.

The first purchase with my paycheck this weekend. It may be too late. Luckily my neighbor has a large stockpile. That and I live way out in the Rural burbs.

Just heard all gas pumps in NC will shut down at 7pm.Oh my goodness. I called Kroger and they were out of gas. Our town is nearly out of gas and there are two nearby towns that are completely out.
This is a result of topping off, imo and not a real distribution problem.

You live in a tornado prone areaSince 1966 I know of no tornados within 15 miles of here. They all happen just a little North of here.

Can anyone confirm a statewide NC gas stoppage?
Not to doubt anyone.

No hurricane had hit New Orleans since before then. It's a disaster prone world.

We restocked ours last Friday. I now have four cases of fresh bottled water and enough dry goods to last two weeks at least.
I just wish I had started to make my jerky earlier.

Two weeks would be good. I imagine that some folks are going to wish they had that much cushion.

I tend to doubt that this is true. I just found the following report on a Raleigh TV station website. It seems the Gov. of NC is just encouraging people to conserve. The article is time stamped 5:17 PM.

"...At any given time, the USA has only enough refined product on hand to run the country approximately one week. This according to my boss..an industry insider for over 40 years..."This is also the case for our food supply. For years we have had in place in the retail business "Just in time" inventory. Products are not produced, for the most part, until they are ordered, or very close.

"We in this county are cutting all non-essential services such as garbage pickup. It is a developing situation." What an absolute crock.
