I dont believe it. These are Probably photos from a snow storm and twisting the reason for why some shelves are empty.
This is garbage to try to incite panic buying and panic in general. On the part of the MSM and some FReepers.
I live in Michigan. We had some decent snow blow through here this past week and that always drives some stocking up. I was at my local Kroger last night and they had plenty of whatever you need.
