For those who are pro-active, yes. I would have driven many miles, if required, to acquire the necessities to keep me and my family OK. But then again, I wouldn't have waited until the last minute, either. In fact I do not wait at all, but maintain such supplies all the time. A large storm like Sandy is not the only potential disaster that could effect anyone… especially New Yorkers. They've already experienced a massive power outage years ago… and terrorist events are always a possibility, too. You'd have to live in a cave to not be aware of these issues.

Do you really think there were enough supplies around for everyone to stock up for days? I seriously doubt it.
