Hurricane Dolly, which has been battering the Mexico-Texas border region, had another, non-weather related effect: providing cover for smugglers.

Police seized $8 million worth of marijuana, which was being moved inland under cover of the storm, at a Texas border patrol.

An official at customs and border protection reported that two other attempts at smuggling were discovered, where illegal immigrants were stopped from continuing in Texas.
