I've just remembered a similar situation in 1993!

A Japanese factory that made epoxy resin for chips was destroyed and the price of SIMM chips skyrocketed (due to lack of availability).

I remember being very upset that I wasn't going to be able to upgrade to 4MB.

There should be a t-shirt for that ;-) I remember paying insane prices that year.
