This feels kind of overblown. It wasn't an apocalypse scenario where people needed to stock up on food and stuff. Honestly if the Internet hadn't filled up with memes I probably wouldn't have known about the outage. My company was fine. Everyone in my family's company's were fine. All the places I shopped today were fine. A few of our vendors were mildly affected. It certainly seems widespread, but not nearly to the point of validating a prepper lifestyle.
