its because some people are just idiots, lack of training has made them reliant on the government either local state or national for their every need, most rural people know to keep 1 to 2 weeks food on hand at all times, just basic non perishable foods, ie canned goods dry cereals, that type of food, just something to eat,as well as keep the propane tank at least 1/2 full, if you get stranded by snow, flood, ect snow is no biggie on the farm, as most of us have equipment of some sort that can move it in order to feed animals and get wood ect, now days in the cities the younger set spent their childhood wrapped up in video games, they were never learned to be prepared, and be self sufficient to a point, consequently when there is word of some kind of weather event, everybody panics and rushes down to the store to grab everything in sight, because they didnt take a few basic steps to be ready for winter weather during winter,and they live 'in the moment' not thinking a week or 2 ahead and planning, cities have at least some snow removal equipment, ie plow trucks, graders ect, so a few inches of snow, means at most a day or 2 before they can get out and about.Power outages are common in rural areas so we keep a genset and several cans of gas ready for it, city folks could easily do the same thing, but no a power failure sends waves of panic all around a lot of people, because "somebody" isnt taking care of them
