Where - and Where Not - to Find Supplies in the Triad Area

Some stores in the area are completely out of water - some aren't. We'll do our best to keep that information straight in this article.

As Hurricane Florence whistles its way toward the Carolina coast, many people are preparing for the worst - as they should. It's the old refrain - better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it.

As Greensboro preps, a lot of stores are seeing their shelves sit empty as employees work to restock them. WFMY has sent crews out to many local stores in an effort to help you navigate what's available and where! Please note - we could really use your help to keep track! If you see any stores with water - or empty shelves, you can message us here or shoot us a tweet (even an email if you're into that)!

Remember that price gouging is illegal in emergency situations. In fact, after Hurricane Harvey and Irma, some gas stations in Texas were forced to pay fines after being found guilty of price gouging.

When a State of Emergency is activated, legal protections against price gouging come into play.

If you see unfair prices, here's how you can report it.
