Dolly spun into a hurricane Tuesday, heading toward the U.S.-Mexico border and the heavily populated Rio Grande Valley, where officials feared heavy rains could cause massive flooding and levee breaks.

Texas officials urged residents to move away from the Rio Grande levees because if Dolly continues to follow the same path as 1967's Hurricane Beulah, "the levees are not going to hold that much water," said Cameron County Emergency Management Coordinator Johnny Cavazos.

I really hope this doesn't turn into another disaster.

Lets see how well Bush's crony-filled administration handles this disaster (if it happens that is).

First strike in almost three years. This should be fun.

Dad did oil inspection down there for a couple years. Been through a couple tropical storms in Corpus Christi, Texas. Still have two family members living down there closer to Brownsville and they said it was nothing, really. But some areas might have had more damage then others.

It is not their responsibility, unless asked upon. Place blame where blame is deserved.

You completely missed my point. If you take a look at Hurricane Katrina and FEMA's atrocious job with assistance...then you will understand. "Heck of a job, Brownie".

Remember?

A Category 1 storm I'd stay for. A Category 2 storm, I'd definitely board my place up, and I might stay. Category 3, 4, or 5, and I'm out of here.

She played it safe. Can't argue with that, can you?

No deaths reported so far. The levees held.
