Shopping craziness as storm approaches

4 p.m. update: As a big storm approaches, people are flooding stores in a last-minute attempt to stock up on supplies and buy holiday gifts. This was the scene at Fred Meyer today, courtesy of My Ballard reader Mitchncraig:

At Ballard Market, the scene was just as crazy. The line wrapped all the way down the front and wrapped back around the deli counter.

“I waited in line for 50 minutes for 13 items,” said Dylin in comments.

Outside, cars were parked all over the place, up and down surrounding streets. Have a shopping experience to share?
