They are just temporarily out in your area. Since you are on line,
look up store numbers north of you and inquire. Both have full racks
in the Atlanta area.

In the situation there I think I'd get a neighborhood together and rent
a truck and drive to wherever is nearest major area that has what you
all need. You could probably make enough from reselling excess material
to pay the cost and still come out as cheap as paying the internet
resellers shipping charges on partial loads.

The shipping costs will eat you alive but when you need it, you need
it.

Can you wait? the costs will be far cheaper when everyone else has a
roof over their head.

Screw the box stores. Put in an order with a local lumber company and
they will deliver it to your house. Most of the time they have far more
lumber than a box store or have more deliveries per month. Support the
local guy who busts his XXX for you.
