People in South Texas are thankful Hurricane Dolly didn't pack the wallop many feared it would.

The region has begun to clean up the mess left behind by the storm. People have been slogging through knee-deep muddy waters to pick up pieces of their houses and businesses blown apart by Dolly's winds.

President George W. Bush has declared 15 Texas counties disaster areas.

Insurance estimators are putting losses from the storm at $750 million. And wind and rain from Dolly has likely doomed much of the cotton crop in the Rio Grande Valley.

Forecasters look for storm's remnants to be completely gone Friday, but Texas Gov. Rick Perry has pointed to the possibility of more flooding. He said the "event is not over by any sense of the imagination."

Now Tropical Depression Dolly, it is expected to continue moving west along the Texas-Mexico border, the National Hurricane Center reported Friday morning. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are possible over southwest Texas and northeastern Mexico.
