We had a major cyclone in Townsville Australia back in 2011 & people were panic buying in the lead up to the cyclone, filling their freezers with everything they could freeze before the cyclone wiped out all the electricity in a 100km radius before their food had time to freeze. Then all hell cut loose at the shops with the panic buying AFTER the cyclone blacked out all of Townsville & surrounding areas. People were filling up their shopping trolleys with multiple trays of beef, chicken, seafood etc to take home to put in their freezers that didn’t work because nobody had any power for over a week. There were massive punch ups over 48 toilet paper rolls in a carton. Mass purchases of Ice-cream tubs that would be just a warm milkshake in half an hour. People queued up for hours in their hot cars with their air-conditioners turned to high, just to get petrol, which ironically a lot of them ran out of whilst they waited in the queue for hours to buy the very stuff they’ve been using up with their engines running so they could have their car air-cons running flat out in the hot stifling humidity of tropical Queensland.
