in, show you some of those cities that could be impacted a little later. And as Tropical Storm Francine brews in the Gulf Coast and in our coastal areas, they are preparing. Fox 26 is Abigail Dye joining us from Galveston now with how it is out there, Abigail. Well, it's pretty calm out here tonight. Anthony. Just a little bit of that wind picking up, but it is expected to change over the next couple of days. No one out in this area is panicking and they shouldn't be. But officials are taking this storm seriously. No one wants to be caught unprepared. On the water, whether you're living here or visiting, you know when a storm is coming. Big storm coming. Yeah. The storm. The city of Galveston. We've actually been watching this since last week. Galveston is expecting some tropical weather, but hopefully nothing catastrophic based off the forecast, we're expecting at least the seas to be 3 to 5ft higher. It's going to push water into the bays while Galveston preps for those conditions. Center point is prepping a broader area. We heard the calls to action loud and clear in the aftermath of barrel. I want to make clear today that we are urgently planning and preparing to respond to the evolving tropical weather situation in the Gulf, also known as Tropical Storm Francine. They say they have 1850 line workers ready to work on power restoration and 1600 vegetation workers saying they're already setting up for staging areas. The best thing to do, no matter where you are, is stay informed, be prepared, you know, if you want to leave, go ahead and leave now. Watch your local news. Weather. Are you guys planning on keeping a close eye on the conditions and everything? Definitely. So, yeah, if they say evacuate, we'll jump in our car and leave and watch the news. The local news. Fox. Make sure. Make sure we keep tabs on
