Anyone who has lived in Central Florida for any longer amount of time could see that Eta would just be some rain. We've been here 51 years. Bad storms don't even disturb our naps.

Lake Deaton Publix was completely out of paper towels when I went on Friday, not one single roll. Found some at Walmart on Saturday.

After going through the paper towels and toilet paper shortages before, you should have gradually stocked up on those items, other critical items, and quit living “hand to mouth”. We gradually stocked up on the critical items when they became available again. After being burned once by temporary shortages, we weren’t going to be burned again.

You should also fill up your gas tank when you get down to half full. Don’t wait till the gas tank is empty. When the rioting, looting, and arson occurred in Minnesota, the gas stations started closing, due to “social unrest”. People that let their gas tank get to empty, were simply out of luck, when they couldn’t buy gas.

No, It's because there is so much crap (pun intended) going around these days that so much toilet paper is needed.

No Ed, I've never been to taco bell. Look again VLS 232060. 534 Inner Circle. Master closet, well over 100 rolls of toilet paper, top shelf. Photo #10

Our oldest lives in St Paul, looting was few blocks away from their neighborhood. They mostly use public transportation, or walk, as do many in ST Paul.

Didn’t have any issues with gas, for their auto, but it took 3 weeks for TJ’s to open back up. Longer for the mom and pop stores. As for paper products a neighbor down the street brought in pallets stored in his garage, while his shop was closed. Garage shopping was quick and easy

Those are paper towels. 6 packs of 6. Total of 36 rolls.

Sold at Target. Essentially a store-branded generic.

Publix has started to implement a limit on paper product, sanitizer, wipes according to an NBC report at 12:46 PM today. During the earnings call by Walmart CEO he said he was seeing stress on bacon, jelly and breakfast cereals. He stated the most stress is bath tissue and cleaning supplies. Guess it's time to rent a truck lol
