Initially, upon doing my climatological homework (something I now require before moving to a new location), I discovered that Austin had a fairly decent amount of stormy weather. This was good news. Of course, to my dismay, we moved here during La Nina, and the weather has been unseasonably hot and dry. So it came as a great relief (and comfort - as it reminded me of my home town, Madison, WI) to get a barnstorming severe storm tearing through Austin today. At one point, while driving through the east side of town, the wind patterns had an eerily cyclonic appearance - although upon further review, no tornadic activity was reported. In any case, following along both my amateur meteorological and amateur photographic bent, here are some pictures of my tempestuous morn. (By the way, the middle picture is of a pea-sized hail stone - in case you were wondering)
