Today marks the second day for local residents to get emergency assistance food stamps if they lost groceries due to Hurricane Irma. Those centers in Lake Worth, Delray Beach and Belle Glade are open, but residents are urged to go online and apply first. While people at both John Prince Park and Lake Ida Park tell our CBS 12 partners that things ran more smoothly today, traffic back-ups continue for those driving near those parks.
