With little time left to prepare, Tropical Storm Dolly, who very likely will be Hurricane Dolly, is forecasted to land in southern Texas within the next two days…

As Tropical Storm Cristobal continues to slide along the U.S.’s Eastern coast, little damage and relatively low rainfall have been reported.

However, Tropical Storm Dolly looks like a more brutal animal: she is churning over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and is expected to intensify to hurricane status tomorrow.   Although it is not certain where the storm will hit, it is threatening southern Texas and northern Mexico, where a hurricane watch is posted from Rio San Fernando, Mexico, to Port O’Connor, Texas.   This region should start seeing the initial hello shortly-  Dolly’s outer rain bands are expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon.

Like many Americans, you’re probably thinking, where did she come from?!  Hurricanes can arise very quickly, which is why preparation is key, and the best way to keep you and your family safe.   As a hurricane approaches, supplies become limited, and demand often exceeds supply.   This can be a very fearful experience for those scrambling to protect their homes and families.   Instead of being caught in the rush, why not be caught prepared?

This current situation should send a message to those who have not yet finished their preparation plans: finish your hurricane plan while you have time!
