Tropical storm Dolly hits Texas-Mexico border
(tianshannet) Updated: 2008-July-24 15:46:49


Strong winds caused by Hurricane Dolly strike palm trees and cars in Matamoros, Mexico, July 23, 2008. Hurricane Dolly moved inland after tearing into the south Texas coast on Wednesday with 95 mph (150 kph) winds, pouring torrential rain on the U.S.-Mexico border area and threatening floods. Dolly, the second hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season, dropped up to 12 inches (30 cm) of rain in the first few hours after coming ashore at the barrier island of South Padre Island, where it ripped off roofs, bent palm trees in half and left thousands of residents without power.(Xinhua/Reuters Photo)
