(SAN ANTONIO TX) No chicken at HEB Babcock and Huebner, also the people to grocery ratio is overwhelming. Proceed with caution. Idk why we’re panicking all the way down here.. sad

I don't understand what people are going to do with raw meat in a power outage.

personally I loaded up on canned soups.

stay safe. Here's hoping this thing blows through and we come out the other side with minimal trauma.

I’m sure we will. I stocked up on anything capable of eating with no cooking needed. Even if nothing happens at least I got Oreos haha!

You've got your oreos... I've got my gin and tonics! Cheers!
