Hurricane Dolly nears Texas coast with 100 mph winds
Posted Jul23, 2008 at 12:27 PM
Hurricane Dolly pumped up quite a bit overnight. It's now a Category 2 hurricane with winds about 100 mph. It has been lashing the south Texas coast with heavy squalls of wind and rain for hours, and
there has already been some damage. It appears to be coming in a little north of Brownsville, which means that much of its worst fury will be focused on South Padre Island, a popular vacation destination. But that doesn't mean it won't still be a rough ride for Brownsville just to the south or even Corpus Christi several miles to the north. Dolly will likely drift westward inland, slowly dumping a ton of rain.
