Meanwhile, the only signs of Hurricane Matthew along Federal Highway in Boynton Beach were shuttered windows and stray palm branches Friday morning.



The windows at Ocean Food Mart were still boarded up, but that didn't stop customers from shuffling in for breakfast once the convenience store opened at 6 a.m., said co-owner Nick Harb.



A lot of customers thought their hurricane prepping was all for nothing, Harb said.



"I guess there's disappointment," he said. "There's no power outage after everything they bought."



Robert Scolnick stopped by the store for a breakfast sandwich. He said the storm's damage at his Boynton Beach home was minimal, just some downed trees and a five-minute power outage late Thursday.



Across the Intracoastal Waterway, construction sites along Florida Highway A1A remained intact. Mobile homes in Briny Breezes showed few signs that a storm had passed.



"When you sit there and watch the Weather Channel and CNN, they make it seem the world's going to end," Scolnick said.



But he said that's not to say the storm didn't have its scarier moments.



"The wind was blowing last night," he said. "The trees were bending."

Further north, as of 9:30 a.m., Juno Beach pier remained closed with two deputies posted at its entrance.
