I did venture out to Safeway, which was mostly deserted except for one very ill shopper and a few dazed-looking checkout clerks. The floors in the aisles had store circulars that appeared to have been roiled by gusts. When I commented to one clerk that his station looked well-protected, being far from the exits, he said, ‘Oh no. Whenever one of the doors opens, the wind comes sweeping in all around us.’
