I'm in rural Ohio, I see empty sections on the shelves but I believe, in my area, it is just people hoarding. Example - in the soda aisle, plenty of coke, no Barq's root beer in the appropriate section. No Grape Crush, but plenty of Orange. So, I think some prepper-pothead-moms are probably getting ahead of the curve and grabbing their favorite things in large quantity. Something else disappearing early - canned pumpkin (of course), and other baking necessities (choc chips, raw nuts, etc.) So, to avoid a disappointing baking season, if you see it, get it now.

Edit - the above was just a food report - in home improvement news, lots of the chinese-made tools and tool sets (hand tools and power tools) are not getting restocked these days.
