Hurricane Jitters

Flying Space Monkey wrote a Top Ten list of "Things That Say You Are Getting Too Anxious About An Oncoming Hurricane". (You wouldn't think he'd worry about hurricanes too much, seeing as how he can just FLY into SPACE to avoid them, but anyway...) Number 6 is "The plywood guy at home depot begins to recognise you by your panicked shrill screams."

That reminds me - why is there ALWAYS a shortage of plywood in hurricane prone areas? I certainly do not want to make fun of anyone endangered by these storms, but wouldn't you think that everyone who needs it would have enough for their house by now? Does it go stale when not in use? Is it a fashion statement to have this model year's boards on your windows? Have the windows outgrown the old ones? Just curious...
