July 23

We are looking at some bad weather with hurricane Dolly in the gulf. The weatherman says that we have an 80 percent chance of rain.

"Hurricane Dolly was a tropical cyclone that made landfall in extreme southern Texas. Dolly was the fourth tropical cyclone and second hurricane to form during the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. Dolly developed on July 20 from an area of disturbed weather in association with a strong tropical wave. It was named Dolly at the same time it formed—skipping the tropical depression phase entirely as the precursor wave already had tropical storm-force winds. This marked the earliest time a fourth named cyclone has formed since the 2005 season, which holds the record." -Wikepedia
