LAKE WORTH — Palm Beach County residents continue to prepare for Hurricane Matthew.

Business was brisk early this morning at the Home Depot on Lake Worth Road, west of Lake Worth.

“People are really nervous,” said Jeanmarc Hermilus, a store worker. “Lines have been really long.”

But Hermilus said he’s not concerned about Matthew.

“I’m calm because I know God will take care of everything,” he said.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for gas, the Sunoco station on Dixie Highway and  5th Avenue North had some as of 6:15 a.m. despite having yellow tape wrapped around the station telling customers otherwise.

Hurry up and filler up.
