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) Photo Gallery>>> |
