Sayne had put the shutters up on his business in Boynton Beach Saturday morning but he said he would rather be safe than sorry and was leaving them up.
“I am from Missouri. They have to show me, once Tuesday rolls around because that is the big day now,” said Michael Schneider in Boca Raton.
Schinder said he has his shutters up and his food supply ready to go if the forecast changes.
In Delray Beach, people packed the Paradise Sports lounge to watch 15-year-old Coco Gauff play in the U.S. Open. Annette Annechild said she probably wouldn’t have shown up to watch if the current path didn’t show the storm staying east of South Florida.
“Maybe it was the run-through for us,” Annechild said.
