I live in Brownsville, and I can honestly say that I have not seen one house with one single board or shutter up. This town is considered to be "shantytown". A low cat 2 would cause major cane wind damage down here.

Hello all. Well the Pharr Fire Dept and Hidalgo Co So have been preparing all today with radio test with all agencies and getting ready for the storm.

The Sandbagging Process in on going at this time for the entire Rio Grande Valley.

Just curious, do you get a sense that the general public there isn't taking the threat very seriously?

[mpic]

After the Rita forecast fiasco, it will be difficult to get people in the Galveston/Houston area to believe anything, in my opinion. After a direct Galveston hit was predicted, we left at the last minute and by the time we got north of Beaumont 24 hours later, we couldn't go back because there was no gas in the entire county so we were stuck in the middle of Rita. I have too leave because I live in a mobile home, but if I run into traffic like I did in Rita, I don't know what I'll do.

[Smurfwicked]

I'd like to know what precautions is being taken near the South Texas / Mexican Border to keep drug smugglers and illegal immigrants from getting across the border?

Just a note: Not trying to make any sort of political statement here, just worried about the possibility that if landfall does take place in this area, that we could have people caught un-sheltered trying to take advantage of the situation.

Just had a nice little squall come through here about 20 minutes ago. It lasted about 10 minutes. Looks like there's more on the way. We need the rain but not the cane.

Does anyone have a link to a Brownsville TV or radio station that streams over the internet? It might be interesting to listen when Dolly comes visiting.

[JPmia]

Seems to me that the conditions this hurricane will present will be smiliar to what we South Floridians felt with Wilma. In that case, you will definitely want to be in a protected house with shutters. For me, the winds during Wilma were strong enough and anything stronger would have begun to rip my roof off! It was a good ride but we were lucky it was not stronger. If you've never been through a hurricane and you live in Brownsville and areas around there, the projected strength of this storm will give you an idea of how nasty these cyclones can be. Good luck!

[HurricaneHunter914]

It's sunny over here, but winds have been blowing toward the west all day. I'm pretty sure they are from Dolly.

[jasons2k]

I'm in the Galleria area of Houston. Looking out, puffy cumulus clouds moving pretty briskly from NE to SW and it's a little breezy from the NE. Definitely part of far outer circulation of Dolly.

[artist]

here are 3 stations from the Brownsville area. None seem to be streaming at this time but do seem to have clips of preps, etc. at this time. Hopefully, one will decide to stream when it gets a little closer. There was nothing more comforting, other than s2k, when one of our local affiliates did that during our 2004 season. The last link is a spanish station.
