I agree except for noting that no shortage was announced, at least that I ever knew. We'd ask the people in line buying cartfuls of it, and no one ever said there was any news about scarcity. Normally, if a storm is coming, the people would go nuts buying bread and milk here in NC. In South Florida, it would be water first, then other goods depending on background (rice and beans or bread and eggs etc).
Never ever TP, in any region I've observed or heard about. Suddenly, nationwide, TP hoarding. Also, they might have been laughing at us too, but I think a major sale went down that was dependent on the proof that this tech worked. They picked something that would have nothing to do with a flu, that has never been hoarded before, but easily observable. Don't know why it irked me so much, but now I believe there's a big thing before the surface.
