ATL: Tropical Depression Dolly

[mutley]

Just got a message from my cousin, they are holding the backdoor...

man..

I really feel for them. Dolly is moving so painfully slow, that it has to seem like an endless nightmare. Especially any residents that have not experienced hurricane force conditions before.

Not a whole lot of USGS river/creek stations in South Texas

Oso Creek in Corpus Christi has started to rise...

Here is a great site run by KENS 5 CBS San Antonio Station that sent a journalist to watch the action from a Comfort Inn on South Padre Island. Helpful to all those wondering how the island is holding up.

Here's a link where you can track power outages around the Brownsville area. Should be interesting to see what happens as Dolly creeps inland.

man..

Do they have high ground to get to at some point? They are getting dangerous amounts of rain.

[PTrackerLA]

Just a note, I believe the city of Brownsville has their own power company, so those numbers don't reflect the true extent.

[Enzo Aquarius]

Willacy's power-outage count just skyrocketed to 61%.

Well that was dumb. Why would you go onto a 7th floor balcony in Hurricane force winds?

[Enzo Aquarius]

Nueces County has reported its first power outages.
