Palm Beach County Residents Observe Waves and Wind at Lake Worth Beach
Lake Worth Beach, Florida – On Saturday afternoon, residents of Palm Beach County gathered at Benny’s on the Beach in Lake Worth Beach to witness the approaching storm. Brian Kiewicz, who was enjoying some food and drinks with his cousin, expressed his excitement about observing the rain from the pier. However, he also admitted to being worried about the severity of the weather conditions, saying, “Tornado, hurricane conditions, honestly, like, I thought the pier was going to blow away.”
In response to the inclement weather, the city of Lake Worth Beach made the decision to close the pier for the entire weekend. This precautionary measure was implemented due to heavy winds and large surf caused by the storm. Consequently, lifeguards throughout Palm Beach County raised double red flags, effectively prohibiting swimmers from entering the water.
Despite the potential dangers, locals were undeterred and remained determined to watch the powerful waves. Many opted to observe the spectacle from the safety of their cars. Jim Brehove, who had driven along the ocean with his wife Ellen, shared their experience, saying, “We just came from 10 miles away all along the ocean here, and we just got to see the ocean and see if we’re the only ones out here.” Ellen added, “And I love looking at the palm trees wet and blowing around.”
Nicole Lachance, another resident, took a more adventurous approach and came to Lake Worth Beach solely for the thrill. She stated, “Just for the fun of it, you know, just taking a ride and check the place, you know, look at the waves.” Others found solace in strolling along the coastline, appreciating the beauty of the storm. Rosa Osorio, who was walking along the beach, shared her perspective, saying, “It’s a beautiful day, not for everybody, and the way I see it, but this is not going to be for always, so I love it. I know some people don’t really enjoy it. Sorry if you’re a visitor, but at the end, it’s not bad.”
As night fell, the unanimous plan was to return home and find relaxation. Jim Brehove summed it up, stating, “We’re going to go home and just relax.” Despite the storm’s intensity, the residents of Lake Worth Beach showed resilience and found ways to appreciate the power of nature.
