A coastal flood warning has been issued for low-lying areas as Tropical Storm Francine makes its way to the Gulf of Mexico. While it's too soon to pinpoint the magnitude of the storm's impact, coastal communities are already preparing for the storm. The city and county said they are continuing the monitor the storm's path. As of Monday evening, city officials said the City of Galveston was not within the cone of uncertainty or under any tropical storm warnings or watches.
"We have increased our activation at this emergency management facility to level 2," said County Judge Mark Henry. On Monday, the storm was predicted to hit eastern Louisiana, but Galveston still remains in the path of coastal flooding and high tides. "We expect that for Bolivar, especially, there might be water coming over the top of 87," said Henry.
