Galveston Mayor Craig Brown has expressed confidence in the city's readiness as Tropical Storm Beryl approaches the Texas coastline. Brown emphasized that Galveston has dealt with similar weather events in the past and is well-equipped to handle the situation.
According to Brown, the storm is expected to reach Galveston around 1 a.m., potentially bringing a storm surge of up to five feet. If the storm veers slightly north, the city could experience a surge of six to seven feet, leading to significant flooding in the west end and downtown areas.
