Michelle DrydenComments Off on Wades shop in preparation for Hurricane Sandy
Sunday, Oct. 28, 2012 was very busy at ShopRite supermarket in Ewing, N.J. As Hurricane Sandy threatens to arrive in the area, many residents of Ewing went shopping for last minute items. The supermarket was so crowded that shoppers could hardly find shopping carts to help them carry their items. Kelly and Crystal Wade were among the shoppers. “We are pretty much preparing for the hurricane, but we are not overdoing it,” said Mrs. Wade. “We are just getting some basic stuff just in case we lose power,” she said. The Wades said they were interested in getting water, bread, peanut butter and jelly, cereal, fruits, cakes, milk and batteries. They said they have a wood-burning stove, and would also prepare by getting money from the bank for a hotel if needed.
