Heavy storms wreaked havoc on Central Texas

These are some pictures PJ, my office mate, took during the storm yesterday night (see his Flickr page).There was golf ball size hail in my backyard and apparently a tornado touched down somewhere in Burnet.


from KXAN: Streets in the French Place neighborhood just east of Interstate 35 look like someone just shook the trees, and all of the leaves have fallen down. Residents there saw just chunks of ice falling from the sky. Some residents woke up to find trees had fallen on their home.




Just after the stroke of midnight Thursday morning, a severe thunderstorm exploded in intensity right over Downtown Austin.
