            </span><p>Stores are working to make sure they're fully stocked as customers continue to shop and prepare for Hurricane Harvey.&nbsp;</p><p>Over at the Market Basket on Lake Street, Irvin Trahan is getting ready for Hurricane Harvey. He&rsquo;s not shopping for himself, but instead for a Waitr customer.</p><p>Trahan is one of seven&nbsp;personal shoppers buying items for customers throughout Lake Charles.</p><p>But while some are taking advantage of the food delivery service, there are still some old-fashioned shoppers out getting everything from water&nbsp;to non-perishable food.</p><p>And it&rsquo;s not just grocery stores preparing for Harvey. Hardware stores like Stine are, too.</p><p>&nbsp;But while some shelves are empty now, managers are working to make sure they&rsquo;re fully stocked for their customers this weekend.</p><p>&ldquo;I mean if we don&rsquo;t have the product then there is somebody that&rsquo;s going to lose some property, they&rsquo;re going to lose a valuable, somebody could get hurt,&rdquo; said Stine floor supervisor Michael Gulsby.&nbsp;</p><p>Hurricane Harvey&nbsp;doesn&rsquo;t just have people stocking up, it&rsquo;s also leaving many worried about what it could do to our area.</p><p>&ldquo;The last time I was this concerned was Rita just because the amount of rain,&quot; said shopper Brady Bryant. &quot;It&rsquo;s so easy to flood Lake Charles.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m most certainly cautious, paying attention to the weather and the news staying on top of it 24/7,&quot; said shopper Kathy Owen. &quot;I mean we are watching it like everyone else.&rdquo; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>And as everyone works to stay ready customers are hoping for everyone to stay safe.&nbsp;</p><p><em>Copyright 2017&nbsp;<a href="http://www.kplctv.com/">KPLC</a>.
