Corpus Christi-Hurricane Dolly, packing winds around 100 mph, made landfall near the border between Texas and Mexico on July 23, snapping power poles, downing electrical lines and trees, and causing extensive property damage and flooding. However, the center of the storm was several hundred miles south of fertilizer operations and trade routes from Texas to Florida. No deaths had been reported directly from the storm in that area, but some injuries did occur, according to various reports. While Dolly was downgraded to a Tropical Storm the following day, flooding was still a problem in some areas.
