Your ammunition logic sounds like the pills that actually work for colds behind pharmacies with sudafed in them and it is hilarious to think that in the land of the free we may not be able to get enough pills for our sick larger sized families but we could buy thousands of bullets with no restrixtion to shoot at everything with the fam.
3 days don’t sound so bad for a hurricane of this calibre. I had an outage for 6 days from a severe wind storm. Took down a ton of trees one being two houses down that was enormous and took down a power line with it. After that incident though my power company contracts a bunch of people to drive into town for extra help when there is another severe storm.
