) - We’ve been watching this system for days. Monday the storm got a name and Tuesday evening Francine officially was upgraded to a hurricane.
A light rain on our Stormtracker windshield Tuesday evening -- with much more in the forecast -- as Hurricane Francine is on her way. “Again -- it’s free of charge. We are just trying to help Mobile residents primarily with the bad weather we have coming forward,” said Austen Alabata, Woerner Turf & Landscape Supply Outlet Manager.“A lot of times it’s in garages, where there’s sloped driveways, even in your lawn itself you can have sloped yards, where there is a lot of erosion that can happen because of running water. So, even sandbags in the yard can help out,” explained Alabata.
