A Cuban shared on social media her surprise at visiting a Walmart in Miami and finding a shortage of various products due to the proximity of Hurricane Milton to the United States, concluding that people were panicking.
Yani (@yanimg30) shared a video on TikTok claiming that there was panic, despite the fact that the epicenter of the hurricane will be far from Miami.
In the video, he remarked: “Many of us have gone out to shop, and all kinds of situations can be seen. From the scarcity of basic and affordable products, although there is still plenty available, to people using their savings to buy what they need, or those who have to leave things behind due to high prices.”
The internet user also reflected on the uncertainty and the unknown generated by the proximity of Hurricane Milton, now a category 4, to the coasts of the United States.
Regarding this, he said that there are those who lament that, even when buying essentials, the cost is already too high.
He pointed out that "if we go beyond all these expenses, which are just material things, and start thinking about all those people who have lost everything, their sacrifice for many years and who have much less than we do, but preserve life."
"The force of nature can take everything from us, even life," said the young woman, who surely remembered the deaths caused by Hurricane Helene just days earlier.
Lastly, he said that while there is life, there is hope, and he invited everyone to follow the example of the person who collects shopping carts outside Walmart: “We do like the cart man, in the rain, sun, and calm, fighting.”
The panic caused by the approach of Hurricane Milton was also confirmed by the TikTok profiles Nury Calvo (@nurycalvosn) and Familia Obrien (@familiaobrien), who showed their trips to supermarkets in Florida in search of bottles of water and shared images demonstrating the unexpected shortage.
Publix, Walmart, Sam's Club, and other large companies have surprisingly run out of bottled water.
They also found that toilet paper and bread are other products that people have bought until the shelves are empty.
What do you think?
