Friday, July 25th, 2008 — Residents of southeast Texas began cleaning up the trail of branches, roof shingles, uprooted trees and other storm debris left behind Thursday by Hurricane Dolly. The Category 2 hurricane banged ashore at South Padre Island at around 1 p.m. Wednesday, gusting winds of more than 100 mph, but weakened into a tropical storm as it moved past Laredo near the Mexican border, said Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman with the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
