I have bidet, so toilet-paper supply lasts forever. Have generator all filled up. Year's worth of rice, pasta & beans stored up (gotta learn something from those damn VC tunnels). Cisterns of water under house filled. Damn Walmart was all out of ammo though. 
I find it disturbing that baby and pet foods were untouched at stores! Are you not going to feed your baby and pets when hunkered down? Also gravy-mixes and seasonings were not picked up. When you've got meats going bad, that's best way to make them palatable!
My friend who works for Swift said truck-shipments were canceled weeks ago. Farm pick-ups and deliveries were stopped long before run on stores. Now tonnes of empty trucks sitting at stops and along Hwy-5 just waiting for work. Supplies are there, just not getting to retailers. |
My family has a store of food, supplies, and ammunition. We keep a supply up to date, have for years now. Dog food and cat food included.
I work at a heavy diesel shop and we have seen an influx of over the road rigs in for repairs. Trucks are moving the same as always.
