Hurricane Dolly was a strong tropical cyclone that made landfall in Deep South Texas in July 2008. Dolly was the fourth tropical cyclone and second hurricane to form during the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. Dolly developed on July 20 from an area of disturbed weather in association with a strong tropical wave. It was named at that time, as the precursor wave already had tropical storm-force winds. Category 2 hurricane: peak winds of 100 mph (85 knots), lowest pressure 963 mb. July 20 – July 27, 2008. Landfalls: July 21 at 50 mph, 20.8°N 87.0°W; July 23 at 85 mph, 26.4°N 97.2°W; July 23 at 80 mph, 26.4°N 97.4°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 5.4.
