Re: ATL: H Dolly in Western Gulf of Mexico
Spoke to my in-laws who are in an RV park in Rockport. Luckily, tornado warning was for an area about 5 miles from them. They are watching coverage on TV. I think I'm more scared then they are...
Corpus news reporting massive flooding down south around Brownsville and area.

Yeah, that portion of the eyewall is slamming south padre island, seams like that will be the area with the worst damage.

Thunder44's point is very valid.
What in the world are you talking about? Degrading radar appearance? That is not accurate at all
we still have a nearly closed eye wall
is it cat 2? of course not. However, the radar signature is not close to degrading

Which really sucks because the sw eyewall is moving over the higher population areas.

I remember Alicia, and that wasn't much fun either.

Is SPI under that convection or are they further north?
It is under the heaviest areas of convection to the S and SW of the eye right now or at least in the images above.

That's true. If these people are in the shelters they should be ok though.

those that can't get in touch with friends and loved ones - remember it can take days if cell towers go down to be able to get through to them sometimes. Also, even if towers remain up, it seems some companies are better than others. After one storm here verizon was the only one working, after another only at&t could get through. So hold on to that thought when you can't reach them. Some land lines may come up shortly after the storm for a couple of hours but will also be flooded with traffic. I know here through BellSouth - now At & T that they have battery packs at the switching stations that give them 2 hours.
