A full-on fight broke out between two customers at a South Florida Walmart Thursday, just as Hurricane Matthew had residents stocking up on household essentials in preparation for possible power outages. Video of the incident was first shared on Facebook Thursday afternoon before being removed, according to the Miami Herald.
In the slightly NSFW footage, two unidentified women are seen screaming, throwing punches, and pulling each other's hair. One woman then hits another woman with a shopping cart, at which point canned food items are tossed around. The original caption on the Facebook version of the video claimed the two Walmart customers were fighting over "the last case of water," but an anonymous Walmart employee told the Herald they were disputing their place in the checkout line.
Hurricane warnings were still in effect from Cocoa Beach, Florida to Surf City, North Carolina at the time of publication. According to the Weather Channel, "potentially serious" flooding may impact areas in Georgia, South Carolina, and southern parts of North Carolina through Saturday night. Flooding had already occurred along the Florida coast, including spots near Jacksonville Beach and Daytona Beach.
Hurricane Matthew has caused major disruptions in retail stores across Florida, with Reutersreporting Friday that many Walmart locations had closed due to the storm:
