Storm in Austin
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) :
