    Sorry for the delay in getting this out but Dolly, Gustav and Ike have kept me busy.
     
    The prize for the 2008 contest was a nuvi 760.  You can visit the Contest page for more information. Click Here
     
    "Dolly came ashore Wednesday, the 23rd of July 2008, over South Padre Island, just north of the Texas-Mexico border, as a category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 100 mph. "  This was the first Hurricane to make US landfall during the 2008 season.
     
    Since no one got all three parts (hurricane, state and date) of the contest correct, we decided to go with the one that got the closest. I hope you feel this is a fair way to handle this. 
      
    The following contestants selected Dolly.
    • Tom Toll Dolly Aug 1-7 North Carolina
    • cajunadj Dolly Jul 11-17 South Carolina
    • Russ Dolly Aug 8-14 Texas
    • Medulus Dolly Jul 11-17 Florida
    • RC  Dolly Aug 15-21 Florida (this is not me)
    • jtrea  Dolly Sep 12-18 Florida
    • T Riddle Dolly Sep 5-11 Florida
    • Jtholt1  Dolly Jun 13-19 Florida
    • MBoy  Dolly Aug 1-7 Florida
    • dextech  Dolly Aug 29-Sep 4 Florida
    • Doug Huebner  Dolly Aug 22-28 Florida
    • MDC Dolly Jul 11-17 Florida
    • Anitab143  Dolly Jun 27-Jul 3 Texas
     
    Dolly came ashore in Texas, the following contestants selected Dolly and Texas
     
    • Russ Dolly Aug 8-14 Texas
    • Anitab143  Dolly Jun 27-Jul 3 Texas
    Dolly came ashore on July 23rd
     
    No one picked the week that contained this date.
     
    Russ picked Aug 8, which 16 days after the landfall date
    Anitab143 picked July 3, which is 19 days before the landfall date
     
    Based on the above Russ would be closest to getting all three parts correct and thus the winner of the nuvi 760
     
    Congratulations Russ your nuvi is being shipped!
     
    The 2009 Thar She Blows Contest will start 3/15/2009, this year we will have more prizes.
