TVN Stream 1 is currently located at the base of the bridge to cross over from the mainland to South Padre Island, and is working on getting across. I just got off the phone with Joel and they are already experiencing gusts over 60 mph in the first rain bands of the inner core. Hurricane Dolly is looking very impressive on radar and satellite, with a current intensity of 85 knots! The individual eddies inside the eyewall are clearly apparent on Brownsville radar, and rapid intensification is currently underway. I would not be surprised at all if Dolly achieves strong cat 2 status before landfall! TVN is getting their live stream up and running, so check out the live tracker page while they still have data! Below is the radar loop from 4 to 4:45 am CDT:
Hurricane Dolly is looking VERY impressive on satellite, with a symmetric inner core and very cold cloud tops on IR. The rather large eye can be seen as well, but cirrus clouds are concealing it slightly. Hopefully TVN will be able to stream live from inside the eye of this intensifying hurricane!
