Not sure why everyone is in panic mode hoarding food and gasoline. Almost every restaurant in TV will be open on Thursday and the only reason a few wouldn't is because of lost power. If you lose power, there will be someone you know probably within a mile of your house who doesn't and will be glad to take on your perishables. I've done it a couple of times for people who lived literally 2 blocks from me. The gasoline hoarding is what ****es me off. If you have less than a quarter of a tank, pump away. If not, how about saving some for the people who HAVE to evacuate. There are people coming to this area from the coastal areas who won't be able to get back because a bunch of panic driven folks have hoarded the gas.
