Hurricane Dolly: She Came, She Rained, She Entertained
Jul 24th
So it’s still raining outside and besides a downed tree or two and a bunch of branches all over the yard and part of my fence going down, everything is perfect. An absolute mess mind you, but not bad. I really wish I could have snapped a few more pics; sadly the best action took place just as it got dark and still is going on now. In terms of my area, things seem ok, there was a tree or two uprooted or snapped, and crazy dirty buildups from the runoff, other than that I wasn’t able to make out anything major but it is dark outside. I do have a few more video clips from yesterday and I’ll be getting at least one or two more on here, but there wont be anything GREAT to show like a flying cow or goat. (This is south Texas!) So after all that has happened, Western Hidalgo County largely got away with minimal damage.
So here is my final photo until sunup:

Jul 23rd
Here’s a video from about 8:35PM (an hour ago.) It came from my cell phone and we all know about the quality factor (it sucks,) but the sound is what stands out most.
Like I said, this was an hour ago the rain is really coming down now and the winds wicked out there. I’ll try and get a video or pic of it soon.

I got my first rain band at 3:47 it wasn’t much… Here’s yet another picture of nothing but a darker sky and a comparison of my first pic PLUS a list of my favorite rain songs just for kicks. (Itsy Bitsy Spider not included.) Things should be picking up soon.
Blind Melon – No Rain – Truly a great song and vid.
Erasure – Only Rain – I’m an 80’s boy damnit!
The Doors – Riders on the Storm – Timeless!
Willie Nelson – Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain – Totally calming!
There’s more but I won’t make it drag on and on!
