MOBILE, Alabama - Talk about a strange sight! Christmas decorations on one side of a store, hurricane supplies on the other. But, that's exactly what it looked like at one Mobile Home Depot as Ida moved in. The supplies had been stocked away, but they were pulled back out because of the tropical weather. And, those supplies were selling as shoppers stocked up just in case. A store representative says business has picked up because of the storm, "normally this time of the year what we have left with hurricane supplies we'll put them back in the over heads or we'll transfer them to other stores like up North where they have the snow and everything. But, this year we had to pull them down," said Home Depot store representative, Art Maurin. Maurin says the big sellers Monday were duct tape, water, batteries, and tarps.
