Isaac Threat Moves Bottled Water from Dunedin Store Shelves
Shoppers stocked up on bottled water and paper supplies at Dunedin grocery stores Saturday in preparation for Tropical Storm (and probable hurricane) Isaac.
Shelves at Dunedin's grocery stores were clearing out late Saturday as residents prepared for the possibility of hurricane Isaac.
Bottled water and paper products were still in supply, but going fast from the shelves at the Publix Super Market at Granada Plaza and Sweetbay Super Market off State Road 580 in Dunedin by Saturday evening.
Dunedin Patch Facebook followers also reported that the shelves at Walmart Neighborhood Market were nearly empty.

The city of Dunedin opened a sandbag station Thursday in the back parking lot of the Dunedin Fine Art Center. Local officials also began discussing emergency plans and potential evacuations early Friday.
Pinellas County issued a tropical storm watch midday Saturday. Forecasters believe Isaac may impact the area as a hurricane on Monday. The storm threat has already canceled opening day of the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Monday.
