When a big snow storm or Hurricane Sandy are likely to hit the Jersey Shore, me and my wife make sure the gas tanks are full and the larder is stocked, well before the panic buying starts.

Most people don't even know that catastrophe is knocking at their door. At this point, I find it almost amusing. A few years ago, I mentioned to a neighbor how a coming snow storm would be crippling to the community and he said "I guess I better get to the store" had zero clue that three feet of snow was about to drop.

Let Darwin's logic shine thru.
