LOOK OUT GUYS, ITS HURRICANE EARL

that mostly everything that everyone bought was a perishable item, except fro bread.

I don't think that's true
canned goods and pasta and chips and a tonne of other stuff is non perishable

They were buying milk and a lot of refrigeration needed items.

and VS, Bread can last a week or two in hot weather without going moldy, most people tend to eat it before then so it kinda counts as a non perishable.
