Wow, so I learned on my bus ride to work this morning that central Austin got hit by one helluva storm last night. As we got off the highway and started cruising through the campus and downtown area, I started to notice that there were leaves and branches covering the road everywhere. And then I started noticing that there were entire trees laying on their sides. Craziness! … especially considering that we hardly even noticed the rain last night where we live.

There is at least one building downtown with windows blown out on one side. I wish I would have grabbed a photo of that one as we went by (I may try to get a photo on my way home later), but I did get one photo. I got off the bus earlier than I normally do and rode my bike past the state capitol building and got this photo of one of the large trees on the capitol lawn totally uprooted (my iphone can’t zoom so its not a great pic but you can see the 2 guys standing near the tree for scale) :

This is a test post.  I just finished helping Dawn setup her blog to crosspost to her livejournal account and decided it would not be a bad idea to do the same myself.  If you are reading this on LJ, please discontinue following the bardospace syndicated feed (if you were even following it in the first place), since all of my blog updates will now get crossposted directly to my bardow LJ account.  I would appreciate it if you LJ’ers would leave any comments back here at my main blog site so I can keep any conversations about my posts together in one place…. not that its hardly possible to do that these days with twitter, friendfeed, etc.
