LOL.....Well you could be right.
I think it will go the other direction, I think everyone will be in the streets and ransacking the stores, and I think the risk is too great and the reward too small......but, if you are one of the first to act, or if you don't see a lot of violence on the streets, then it might be a great idea to go and get stocked up.
Judging from my experience with Hurricanes, and Snowstorms the day that the news reports the danger is the day you don't want to be anywhere near a grocery store or a home improvement store. Even without violence the traffic and congestion is horrible, the shelves are bare, and the attitudes are horrendous.
I suppose it could go either way. I feel it is better to be prepared before there is a need for the preparation, and I don't want to be out there battling all the unprepared folks and risking life and limb when the disaster may only last a couple of days and I have enough at home to ride it out. I could be wrong though.
