The latest satellite picture of Dolly shows that it's structure is still very well defined even though it's been on shore for a number of hours. This shows the difference between a landfalling storm that was intensifying as opposed to one that was weakening. The slow movement coupled with Dolly still being fed by feeders over the Gulf will mean that Dolly will take quite some time to spin down and the results will be continued catastrophic flooding.
