Hurricane Dolly Edges Towards the Tex/Mex Coast

Not much to add here as time is short and there isn't much more to say other than as she intensifies slowly for every 5 mph higher she goes there are that many people who will be without electric for some time. When a storm hits an area that hasn't been hit in a while it used to be called a "Tree Trimmer" yet now in the post Wilma days it is a grid trimmer... takes out the old infrastructure and lies hanging poorly or poles leaning too much and not kept up and more people lose electric than should. If the power companies there have been doing their jobs it won't be that bad and as the area is not as heavily populated as some places along the Florida coast Jack and Jill will be able to put back the system faster than what we went through in Wilma.

Great coverage of Dolly on The Weather Channel with Jim the Man in the storm in the surf with the great shots and the stinging sand in the rain is on the spot.

www.hurricanecity.com is doing live updates.

Very nice feature over at www.flhurricane.com of various weather cams with the shot of the radar spinning next to it.

If you live in the South Texas - Tex/Mex area board up, hunker down and ride out the storm. Unless you live on a barrier island of course, who would stay on a barrier island in a storm? Smiling....well some people do but it's prudent to leave.

If you live elsewhere across this beautiful country.. grab some popcorn, cold drinks, set your TV to TWC or your web browsers to your favorite radar or satellite loop and keep watching!
