Information about Dolly : 2008 Atlantic Storm Names List : Includes Tampa Bay Area.

A strong tropical wave tracked across the Caribbean Sea in the third week of July. Despite producing strong convection and tropical storm-force sustained winds, it failed to develop a low-level circulation until July 20. That morning, reconnaissance aircraft found a low-level circulation and the system was declared Tropical Storm Dolly. This marked the fastest start of a hurricane season since 2005.

It made landfall early on July 21 as a weak and disorganized tropical storm, and emerged over the Gulf of Mexico later that morning. 17 deaths were reported in Guatemala from landslides caused by heavy rain on the fringes of Dolly.

On July 22 at 4 p.m. CDT, it strengthened into the second hurricane of the season. It steadily strengthened that night into the morning of July 23 and reached Category 2 intensity. It made landfall at 1 p.m. CDT (1800 UTC) on South Padre Island. Landfall intensity according to the National Hurricane Center was: wind speed 100 mph, pressure 964 mbar (hPa). Dolly has caused no deaths in Texas but is now the most damaging hurricane in Texas since 2005's Hurricane Rita , with 1.5 billion dollars in damage. The storm dissipated over northern Mexico on July 25.
