First it was toilet paper, now it's lumber. The nation's lumber industry is seeing serious shortages in lumber, and it's sending prices skyrocketing. 
Tom Reke from S.C. Lumber and Supply says demand is high. "I've been doing this for almost 30 years, and I have never seen it like this," Reke said. "Just a standard sheathing traded for over $100 a sheet, which is absurd. That's three to four times more than I have ever seen it."
With the housing boom and many South Carolinians building new homes, lumber yards continue to face shortages.
