Dolly Comes To The Valley

 
Hurricane Dolly is now a category 2 hurricane.
The eye wall has reached Port Isabel...
Our "Dick Clark of hurricanes" (lol) 
is still awake and he is still covering the storm.
The storm is moving so slowly
even though the winds are at 100 mph.
The eye of the hurricane is expected
to hit Port Mansfield,
which is north of us,
(along the coast between the Valley & Corpus Christi)
but you never know in which direction
the hurricane will decide to go!
 
The reporter's red pants
are flying all over the place in Port Isabel. lol
Lots of wind and rain
and the sea water continues to rise.
Nearby towns are already reporting damage.
LOL @ the reporters are saying
hello to "mom and dad" and
~ we are ok, compadre! ~
I am glad that I changed my mind
about being a reporter...
 
P.S.
I told you there was bad weather somewhere.
My body never lies...

What a great satellite photo, and you got it into your journal.

Obviously you maintained power, and are safe inside.  Laughing at the red pants reporter.  Stay safe, obviously.  Is it lashing out loudly against your windows, etc.???  I should check the anticipated storm surge.  The coastline yesterday sure seemed whipped up -- I saw newscast of surfers near San Padre Island.  Or some island.  I wouldn't recommend that they go surfing TODAY, of course.
