  Bottled water running out is especially silly and indicative of the prepper/hoarding mentality going on. Even if food supplies started having problems, society would have to truly, completely collapse before water/electricity started having problems. It's irrational to clear the shelves of water. Even in your case and the other anecdotes people are mentioning here, I'm not convinced it's a supply-side issue. I would guess that in some areas the supply simply isn't bountiful enough to bear the full weight of the extreme preppers. That's a real problem, to be sure, but it's an artificial one and hopefully once it becomes clear that a true famine isn't on the way those people will calm down and stop putting others in needless danger.
