Storms

Last night Round Rock, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, and Austin dealt with three waves of severe storms. The first one hit Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Pflugerville with high winds, hail, and tornados. One of the tornados walked a tightwire down the Travis - Williamson County line. It passed about 2 miles south of our house. Of course, we didn't know until it actually passed that it had missed us. We went downstairs and were just about to step into the bathroom and pantry (both in the center of the house), when I heard on the radio that it had headed a little south of us. We had high winds and hail, but no damage to our trees, house, or car. Lucky.

Later on, a second wave of storms hit Georgetown (just north of us). Then, shortly after that the third wave marched right through the center of Austin (south of us). In fact, it broke out some windows in the Capitol building. I saw quite a few tree limbs, and other debris on my way into the office. Exciting night.
