Hurricane Dolly didn't pack the wallop many feared it would.
The region has begun to clean up the mess left behind by the
storm. People have been slogging through knee-deep muddy waters to
pick up pieces of their houses and businesses blown apart by
Dolly's winds.
President Bush has declared 15 Texas counties a disaster area.
Insurance estimators are putting losses from the storm at 750
million dollars. And wind and rain from Dolly has likely doomed
much of the cotton crop in the Rio Grande Valley.
Forecasters look for storm's remnants to be completely gone
today, but Texas Governor Rick Perry has pointed to the possibility
of more flooding. He says the "event is not over by any sense of
the imagination."
