Part 6/8:
The heat of the conversation shifts to preparation—stockpiling essentials like bread, milk, and hot beverages in anticipation of storms. Mike observes how households often have multiple loaves of bread stored, easily frozen for later use. Despite weather forecasts predicting quick warm-ups, people tend to panic buy, even if they only end up stuck indoors for a day or two. He praises local stores for their efforts to stock up ahead of storms, which eases supply worries and helps communities stay resilient.
