I only re-re-repeated it (Max Headroom style) because on occasion I’ve noticed (the occasion being every hurricane season of every year) that we’re told to stock up, prepare at the start of every hurricane season in June. Then when the first serious storms start forming in August the grocery shelves are picked clean especially in the bottled water, tp, & rice aisles. Now, if people stocked up when it was suggested, I’d expect a normal amount of those items would be purchased as a storm puts us in the cone. But, yet... like Captain Renault in Casablanca, residents here are shocked! Shocked! That a hurricane is forecast during hurricane season.
