Hurricane Dolly has brought much trouble to residents in South Texas.
Downed power lines remained the greatest danger, and South Texas officials urged people to stay home one more day "unless it's life or death."
Bill Bryan is Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Department of Energy.
"There are 26 transmission lines currently out of service, there are far more distribution lines and those totals are still being assessed. Fortunately, the majority of offshore oil and natural gas production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico have not been impacted by the storm."(www.hXen.com)
US president George W. Bush has declared south Texas a disaster area to release federal funding to 15 counties. Insurance estimators put the losses at 750 million US dollars.
The storm was expected to break up by Friday.
