Some West Palm Beach residents are taking shelter at Forest Hills High School ahead of Hurricane Dorian.
A woman who moved here 10 weeks ago said she's originally from Gainesville. She said she once experienced a Category 2 hurricane and lost power for two weeks, so she's not taking any chances.
A steady stream of people were going into the shelters. One group said they work with young teens and brought them to the shelter. Otherwise, they'd be homeless.
As of Monday afternoon, there is still time to make it to a shelter.
