While evacuation is voluntary, city officials said elderly residents or people with medical conditions are encouraged to evacuate. Those who plan to stay have been advised to prepare their homes and pick up anything that could blow away.
"We're going to hang out until the last minute, but probably, eventually, we will evacuate to a better fishing hole," said Dennis Brown.
As conditions worsened, high tides forced the Galveston-Port Bolivar Ferry to suspend operations Sunday morning. Officials said the service interruption may be temporary if conditions improve.
We have suspended service due to high tide conditions. We will continue to monitor weather conditions and resume service as quickly as safely possible.
