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!

The live stream is working for now! They are working on getting across the bridge, and if they can find a hotel then wifi will be the key to continue the stream if cell phone towers go down.
I read last night that they would close the bridge when the winds got to 45 mph sustained. Dang I don't like those bridges in calm weather and they are trying to get across it in a Hurricane! Best of luck to those boys.
Man, Dolly's pressure is falling and her wind speeds are rising!! Wish I was there with yall, I've been up all night. Good luck!!
The National WEather Service office in Brownsville has issued a Tornado Warning for a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado currently located near Porfirio and Lyford. There are currently no reports of any tornado on the ground.
Joel said they can see the western edge of the eye. It is definitely precip free but they're hoping to get some blue sky. The stream is working great and they're going to try to stream inside the eye!
