I would be curious to know what the price increase of plywood was at home depot in Idaho. I doubt it was $6 in less than one week.

Believe me Home Depot is afraid of lawsuits they are not going to take part in price gouging. I'm sure it has everything to do with the suppliers in that region. With plywood in such high demand for over a month worth of storms it has to be hard for the suppliers to keep it in stock themselves. So now you have the lumber mills working harder and longer hours to keep up with the demand thus increasing labor costs.
