Post by: lordwriothsley on July 22, 2008, 05:44:13 PM
For those of you who are located in or around the Texas-Mexico Border and even in Corpus-Christi start preparing now cause Hurricane Dolly is on it's way.The last I read it was expected to make landfall at around 5 am tomorrow and right now is about 165 miles east-southeast of Brownsville so be prepared and please all stay and be safe.

If he is in Brownsville he may not be able to as power or telecoms. civilian communication may be out.

I'm just greatful that Toki's mom is far enough away from the main storm (Corpus Cristi), but we still worry about her.

Honestly, if you've been through it a few times, at cat. 1 or 2 is no biggie.   there is a lot of wind and rain, you just hole up at home and wait it out.

   Lady Rosaline is from Corpus and I was talking to her via Myspace IM this morning and a tornado touch down about 15 miles from her house. Before she could explain which way it was heading, the weather got really bad with lighting, wind and a heavy down pour of rain. She had to get off the net. I havn't heard any thing from her since. Please add her and her kids to the list. Will update as soon as I hear something.

Apparently there are still a lot of power and phone lines down, but the flooding hasn't been as bad as they feared. Let's keep all in friends in our thoughts until we hear from them.

Morning all,
I talked to her yesterday evening and she was saying that her area got alot of rain and hard wind. All in all they're safe with no damage (just wet). Thank you all for keeping them in your thoughts.
