Amazing coverage by Dolly. It looks like the outer bands go all the way to the Panhandle:

There are people on the beach? Is it the eye or a old feed? If its the eye then people ( kids )are crazy to be running around the beach! + all the traffic there.. I would think this was yesterday?
About an hour ago the feed from Padre was lost (last camera image was very distorted and cracked), it's since been replaced with another one, so i'll note that.
all the S. Padre cameras are down.

We are getting some of the outer bands here on the upper coast of Texas
We are getting rain here. Dolly's satellite picture is impressive. We are
keeping our friends down South in our thoughts and prayers.

S. Padre Island is Still feeling the worst of this storm, much longer than I think many were anticipating. I'm not looking forward to seeing all that happened there.

Land Fall appears to be very close to where Hurricane Allen in 1980 went inland!
Drove from San Antonio to Corpus Christ that Sunday Morning. It was a real thrill. Driving in the left land and all of a sudden you were in the right hand lane going for the shoulder. The HEB trucks were bringing supplies. there must have been 50 of them.

Hurricane Dolly is now an upper-end Cat 1, having been interacting with land, and in fact just recently having made landfall along South Padre Island, where numerous weaker, and even some better-built structures, are reported to have sustained heavy damage. Jim Cantore and Julie Martin (TWC) reporting from phone-ins at the Radison in South Padre, report that their roof is peeling away and some windows are blowing out. As far as injuries go, they are also reporting that a young man who chose to stand out on the balcony of a 7th story somewhere around there was blown off, and has sustained serious injuries. It is looking like Dolly will leave more of a mess in many places in deep south Texas than any other tropical cyclone since perhaps Hurricane Beulah (September, 1967).

Even though Dolly is a Cat 1 her slow movement will cause a lot of damage. Hurricane Francis was about the same strength and a slow mover over us and did considerable damage because of the length of time we spent in hurrricane and tropical force winds not to mention the tornado threat and huge amounts of rain. . Our power was out for seven days.

Take a look at the Doppler estimated rainfall. Already some locations have over 18" estimated, and Dolly is barely moving, still sitting over those locations.

The old saying goes, "Everything in Texas is Bigger".
I don't think they had Hurricane Dolly in mind when they said that.
Latest composite reflectivity showing the 'eye' area still somewhat intact.
Latest Doppler Radar Rainfall estimates. Gray stripe to the North of Brownsville and through Harlingen is estimated at over 20.00 inches, storm total rainfall in inches.
