Residents in South Florida were seen buying hurricane supplies as Hurricane Irma churns the Atlantic Ocean.

It’s unclear what path Irma will take, but just in case, Florida residents have been encouraged to go get supplies by the middle of the week in case the hurricane hits Florida, CBS12 in South Florida reported.

Jacob Tibbs, a Home Depot manager in Palm Beach County, noted that “shoppers are already coming into the hardware store, picking up hurricane items: from generators to water,” said CBS12.
