Triangle residents make preparations ahead of Tropical Storm Debby
As the triangle prepares for the effects of Tropical Storm Debby, many people are doing what they can to stock up on things like food and gas.
Residents appeared to be cautiously optimistic, and ready to stay inside to ride out the wind and rain to come.
"I don't get the eggs and bread and milk or anything. Like that. I'm just gassing up my car," said Garner resident Lisa Trueblood. "I got extra gas, extra water and filling my tab, things like that, making sure I have non-perishables, flashlights, candles."
With multiple school cancellations on Thursday, Princess Capehart told ABC11 she's thankful to have childcare for her toddlers.
"They can still open. So that's a lifesaver," she said.
