Ahead of now Tropical Storm Nicole, residents in the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast should start preparing for what’s expected to become a Category 1 hurricane. That’s why the City of Riviera Beach has opened a sandbag distribution site at Marina Village for those residents preparing early.
The sandbag distribution site just opened at 10 A.M., and city officials say the community is positively responding to it. Most of the residents CBS12 News talked to Tuesday say this will be their first experience with a possible hurricane, so they don’t know what to expect. That’s why they’re getting sand for precautionary measures.
