Hurricane Preparation: How many gallons of water should one put away?

I went to the store today, and people were hovering over the bottled water. How much per person is adviced to purchase should a hurricane hit your area? I saw one family with about three kids purchase about 3 gallons. I saw an elderly man, purchase a whole basketful, probably about 20 gallons.
Should there be a limit on how many a person can purchase if they wait till the last minute to purchase?
