Hurricane Dolly (7/23)

The Atlantic hurricane season of 2008 came alive on July 23 with a vengence as Hurricane Dolly, the first hurricane to strike the US in 2008, came ashore in Texas just north of the Mexico / US border at about 2 PM CDT packing winds of 100-MPH. This is a category-2 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale.



I was not able to intercept this storm (unfortunately) but you can check out the tropical season of 2008 by a special section called "TROPICS" in the STORM CHASING area of this site. The tropics will continually be monitored in 2008 for any activity to study or even intercept!
