NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Generators, flashlights, water, batteries -- these are just some of the emergency supplies that are running out in many stores in the Northeast. Nearly a third of the country's northeast is preparing for Hurricane Sandy, which expected to make landfall on Sunday and Monday. Customers who have been flocking to stores may be coming home empty handed. Large stores are rushing trucks to replenish supplies as several states from North Carolina to Connecticut have declared emergencies before the hurricane makes landfall on Sunday and Monday and brings heavy rain and high winds, which could cause power outage and flooding. Sears (SHLD, Fortune 500) is rushing dozens of trucks stocked with generators into the region, and is telling customers to call its stores to see when they will be replenished. It is also offering expedited delivery for orders on Sears. com and Sears mobile.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
