Hurricane Matthew

I recently saw a video on Facebook from NBC news about businesses hiking up prices on necessities in Florida as people evacuate and seek shelter from hurricane Matthew.  Hotel prices went up 3x as high in some places, gas prices have doubled, and even grocery stores are benefitting by charging a crazy amount for cases of water. This is another example of how big businesses are screwing people over. These people are vulnerable, stranded and might lose everything they have but they are being taken advantage of and it is wrong and very sad.  There should be some kind of law about price raises during natural disasters.
