Ok back to the storm just saying how Y2k made people go nuts..
Y2K Y2K...I'm sure what you are saying will contribute to the problem. I was just inquiring about the seemingly widespread panic of the locals
in 1999 I was banned from posting on the internal US Courts NNTP news hahaha..
Cause this one courthouse system mgr was turning off his Y2K certified Cisco network and I got mad (cause we spent lot of taxpayer money upgrading and testing stuff)..
Anyway I said that I bet nothing major would happen in Y2K and they guy called me an idiot then called my boss here in Town...
I even heard that one Judge had even the clocks unplugged... he thought clocks would hurt someone or go nuts.. ... hahah.. uh.. no wonder they banned me from the forum

I didn't stock up on anything. We did our regular grocery shopping Wednesday and that was it.
The panic and the run on water was totally unjustified. San Antonio was never in any danger of having its water contaminated. Did they think the surge was going to flow 100 miles inland?
We made our bi weekly trip to the store yesterday, and there was no water. That was well before any evacuees got here.
18z NAM/ETA is now running.
Also, there is a fix scheduled for 3, so we should get a VORTEX sometime around 3:15-3:30
I just filled up both my gas tanks on Wed. and that is it. I paid $2.47 at HEB and today it is $2.63.
That's what I'm talking about.We made our bi weekly trip to the store yesterday, and there was no water. That was well before any evacuees got here.
A lot of stores have little or no water left on the shelves. That's crazy.
But I do need to put gas today... can't start a new job next week and not have gas. lol Are the prices going up already?
This is a really good website.http://www.crownweather.com/tropical.html
The prices in our neighborhood have gone up 20 cents in the last 36 hours.
"the central and southern parts of SA there could be severe flooding."
San Antonio is quite immune to flooding causing building damage.
Ever tried to obtain a building permit in the 100-year flood plain?
I'll drink out of my pond.. 2500 gallons
Same here...I got batteries, water, and candles. I never have a working flashlight or any candles when our power does goes out so I needed it anyway. I only bought a few days of water. Which I need to drink more of anyway.
I may be wrong, but if Rita hit Corpus, it's very possible that we in SA could lose power for a few days, no? That was my thinking at the time.
Anyway, there were a lot of people from Houston at Target. One lady justified her buying some Little Debbie snack cakes because she had been sitting in a car forever. I agreed with her!
That's not good Kori...I knew I should have put gas yesterday. I was just being a lazy bum at home.
I went to HEB to buy baby food and they were out of water, and the canned food aisle was low as well and no bread.
Well, I already had the candles...but everything else you said was right on...Same here...I got batteries, water, and candles.

Ok right now don't worry about the price. just fill up and drive only what you need.
Because as posted earlier in this thread inside info from Valero is possible local shortages.
Justified? No.
Reason? Same reason people think the car behind them is following them late at night.
I have to worry about the price Vashner... I don't have income right now. lol
Sonia - by my house has been relatively cheap this week ($2.39-$2.49) but earlier today when we went out, it was $2.69 at Citgo. I'm not sure how fast it's going up around the city.
I saw that Valero info in this thread. I'm not doubting the poster, but I wish we had more confirmation of that. Where's Scott when you need him?
It was 2.49 the other day at HEB. Hopefully it still is. Thanks Kori.
Regarding Valero--inside info this morning from a reputable source has gas cost up .60 overnight. Valero has not been passing on these costs to the consumer supposedly, so who knows if/when the prices will shoot up.
Daaaaaamn, Manny...either NAM really really knows something we don't...or it's really psychotic about that left turn...
It's current out to 12hrs now...check it out...
Which HEB?
