LIVE: Drawbridges set to close at 6 p.m. ahead of Francine
SUMMARY: As a storm approaches the Gulf Coast, crews are advising boat owners to shelter or move their vessels inland before 6:00 PM. Marina and highway officials are urging swift action to prevent damage, as drawbridges will close at that time, limiting travel options. Many boat owners in Bay St. Louis face tough decisions, weighing insurance implications against the risks of leaving their boats in the harbor. Despite a mandatory evacuation, several boats remain. Harbor Masters emphasize the unpredictability of storms and the importance of safety in decision-making as they monitor the situation closely.
As Francine nears the Gulf Coast, MDOT crews are advising any boats that need to shelter or move inland through one of the drawbridges to do so before 6 p.m.
