it's 7;00 am Sunday and I'm just returned from Giant. The staff are re-stocking the shelves and seem to have everything, including batteries, except that the 16-pack of AA's are gone. they have 4 packs. milk, bread, butter, eggs, yogurt are abundant. Lots of veggies and fruit. Selection of beef low; new chicken just put out!

Since power outages are inevitable having a long run time flashlight is a good idea.
Lowes has a 65 hour run time flashlight for under $5.00

I got mine in store. I also got one at Target. You can never have too many flashlights.

I've been hearing sirens along with Bryn Mawr fire company's siren-thing pretty much all day. It goes without saying that law enforcement, fire fighters and emts are going to be working overtime these next couple of days.
