Nah, they're not ridiculous. When I lived in Portland, OR the stores would run out of kale before a storm, no joke. That's ridiculous. Then, when the storm would happen people would just abandon their vehicles in the middle of roads, highways, etc. You'd drive around and it was just a graveyard of abandoned vehicles. That's also ridiculous. And we're not even talking snow like we get over here.

Funny, just went to look it up and see if I could find any pictures, seems they recently abandoned a bunch more vehicles again: https://www.kptv.com/2023/02/25/drivers-scramble-find-abandoned-vehicles-after-portland-storm-tow-lots-full/

Same thing happened in Brooklyn a few years ago. Whole Foods was wiped out of kale. KALE! Nobody had an explanation.

Just a hypothesis, but maybe because stormy weather makes people want to cook soup? Seriously! Lots of soups have kale in them!

That’s like when the weather started getting cooler this fall I went to try and get large shells for stuffed shells and they were sold out EVERYWHERE
