(article 7) BROWNSVILLE, Texas (CNN) Tropical Storm Dolly has left hundreds of thousands of people without power and forced thousands into temporary shelters in South Texas, federal officials said Thursday (article 11) Emergency managers waited for Dolly to move on late into the night Wednesday and hoped to begin assessing the storm's damage today even as they began to rescue people from flooded or damaged homes. (article 6) BROWNSVILLE, Texas - Hurricane Dolly barreled into South Texas yesterday, lashing the coast with winds of up to 100 mph and dumping heavy rain that threatened to flood low-lying areas but spared levees along the heavily populated Rio Grande Valley.
