WASHINGTON - The Red Cross says it will team up with Southern Baptists to help any Texans who have been driven from their homes by Hurricane Dolly.
Dolly roared ashore about 35 miles north of the Mexican border Wednesday, lashing the coast with winds up to 100 miles per hour and dumping heavy rains that threatened to flood low-lying villages.
A Red Cross official in Washington said the Southern Baptist Convention and Texas Baptist Men were prepared to send mobile kitchens into the affected counties.
On South Padre Island, the hurricane knocked out power to thousands of homes, ripped off roofs and smashed windows. Roads and yards were strewn with toppled trees, fences, power poles and streetlights.
