The Great Pumpkin Shortage

Thanks to Tropical Storm Irene and a stormy summer, there are high reported shortages in pumpkins across the Northeast. Bad weather conditions have led to higher numbers of rotten vegetables this year. This means that pumpkin seekers could be paying double for their Jack-o'-lantern canvases in some places and, in others, they could be out of luck entirely.

I would say this story is in the unusualness, timeliness, and proximity catergories.
