Pam Brekke had traveled 30 miles from Sanford, Fla., to a Lowe's in Orlando that got a surprise shipment of 216 generators amid the Irma frenzy, according to Nancy Alvarez of ABC affiliate WFTV.

- That customer, Ramon Santiago, "walked up and insisted she take his." He didn't even know why she was crying.
