My brother does his own research as he makes his investment decisions. Months before the toilet paper hording he called and said it was coming. He warned the entire family. He had enough that he mailed some to his son on the west coast.
Unless you want to wipe your ass with your hand, toilet paper is not a strange thing to hoard. It's the obvious thing.
That's a weird decision because there was no paper shortage. And it was never a hoarding target above milk, bread, bottled water before. When we asked people why they were buying that first above what most would consider essential items, they blanked. They could not explain the compulsion.

Remember the parody words to the tv show theme song Branded.
Stranded, stranded on the toilet bowl,
What do you do when you're stranded,
And you can't find a roll?
To prove you're a man
you must wipe with your hand!
Stranded!

Noting also it hasn't happened since.
