Hurricane Dolly Brings Texas Drought Relief
Hurricane Dolly spread storms across most of rain-starved Texas as it made landfall Friday in northern Mexico, providing brief relief to areas of the state dried out by a prolonged drought.
The hurricane crashed onshore near Tampico, Mexico, dumping torrential rains in northern Mexico and spreading storm bands across the Rio Grande Valley into northern Texas.
In Texas, a tornado touched down south of Brownsville, damaging several homes but causing no injuries as gusty winds and heavy rains in advance of the hurricane moved onshore along the Texas-Mexico border.
