If you haven't heard for some reason, there is a hurricane in the western Gulf of Mexico. Dolly at this time has just reached Category 1 status and will make landfall near the mouth of the Rio Grande River sometime tomorrow. If you have interests in this area, make sure that everything is taken care of and relatives and family members are safe.
Even though Dolly is a minimal hurricane, she can still do a lot of damage. Heavy rains and flooding, wind damage and even isolated tornadoes are possible anywhere in deep South Texas.
For the latest official information concerning Dolly, go to http://www.weather.gov/ and click the area of the US map that shows the areas that have hurricane warnings and other related statements in the areas affected.
It's going to be a very long night in the Brownsville area as the weather deteriorates rapidly. Pray for those who are in the path of this storm.
