BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Forecasters say Hurricane Dolly made landfall this afternoon near South Padre Island in Texas. Dolly is a Category 2 storm with top sustained winds near 100 mph. The storm has forced thousands of people on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border into shelters. Heavy rains and high winds from the storm have collapsed an apartment roof, blown over signs and cut power to thousands of customers. Landfall is when a storm’s center crosses the coastline, but it does not necessarily indicate where the worst weather is.
