Hurricane Dolly hit the Texas Gulf Coast early today having strengthened to a Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds near 100 mph.

The storm came ashore near South Padre Island.

A hurricane warning is in effect from Brownsville to Corpus Christi, and in Mexico from Rio San Fernando northward.

National Weather Service radar indicated a tornado 18 miles northeast of the Harlingen Valley Airport early today. A tornado watch was in effect for the area.

Sections of the roof of a South Padre Island apartment complex collapsed as the edge of Dolly reached shore.
