Although Dolly hit our gulf coast yesterday we are getting the severe weather today (about 5 hours north east of South Padre Island). It's been storming for about 90 minutes with one tornado that already touched down and more tornado activity on the way. This is especially scary considering we don't get this kind of weather. Hopefully we'll keep electricity - what would I do without my computer - OMG!!!!
Here was our sky last night (8:30pm) as the atmosphere was getting ready to bring us Dolly, it was spectacular
This was our sky mid about 4pm
Our weather is expected to continue to be dicey until around noon tomorrow.
As beautiful as the coast would be to live at, I couldn't take hurricane season each year. It's bad enough hours away from the coast.
***EDIT***
The weather has quieted down this evening and tomorrow's forecast shows much improvement for tomorrow and beyond. Parts of San Antonio were pounded.

I think I heard that Dolly has been downgraded. Hope you all stay safe! The photo from last night at 830 is AWESOME! Thank you so much for sharing it! :)
Eek, stay safe! I do not love tornadoes after growing up with them.
I hope the worst of the weather skips you. Stay safe. Love the photos.
I really don't know much about the situation there, but I think I have to seriously follow up the news and articles, especially as it directly concerns some great friends of mine in the Blogosphere.
I was really hoping we would get a dash of the Dolly rain, but so far, nothing. It is SO dry up here.
Nonetheless, I hope you stay safe and don't get anymore tornadoes.
I would be quite scared of the weather you have in America. A regular storm makes me nervy ;O)
Lovely photograph!
I tried to send you a post twice but its not going through. I saw the footage on the news of jhurricane Dolly. I would be scared if I was there! I hope all is well....

Glad you are all alright over there. We were on the other side of the Gulf, but Dolly's effects were seen and felt there, too. After 3 days of calm water on our vacation, the Gulf on our side gave us some pretty big waves to play in the day Dolly hit your coast. The kids loved it! Hope everyone is still doing okay!
I really am lost without electricity too. That's why I don't like lightening. It scares me. I would never want to live in a hurricane zone--too destructive.
Glad to hear all was well with you. I've been through about a dozen hurricanes in my day and they are no fun!
