Actually, eggs don't need refrigeration. They are good for around 30 days unrefrigerated for raw farm eggs. Once they are "processed" for stores, maybe less, but will still last a few weeks.

this,


worked in Retail Grocery many many years,

ran a store in an area prone to power outages, mostly do to above ground power lines and an abundance of pines,,,


folks in that area would stock up on Frozen foods every hurricane and snow storm,

loose power,

eat about half of it and bitch that they lost the other half,

wash , rinse , repeat,, for every storm,,,,

My grandmother lived in FL for over 40 years. She would fill 2 little bottles with water and freeze them in the freezer starting a few days before a storm was to hit. If you limit how much open it and stuff is already frozen you can go a few days without power.

I have to agree with Egregore. I’ve been through 3 hurricanes (Rita, Ike, and Harvey) and grocery stores are stripped almost bare. The exception is the refrigerated and frozen vegan/vegetarian sections are well stocked.

Maybe that's Texas thing. It could also be that I didn't see it during Charley, Jeanne, Frances, Ivan, Katrina, Wilma, Matthew, Irma, and now Dorian because I don't go to the store right before the storm hits. Practice makes perfect.

I found the '17 Hurricane Harvey pic of the tofu and soy section of a Houston supermarket. A friend of a friend snapped the pic.
