storm in a truck

This one definitely says "Austin, Texas" to me: a tree-limb torn off by one of our many dramatic storms, which has landed right on top of a typical Texas truck. (Fortunately it appears that no-one was hurt, as the cab of the truck is fine and the scene was surrounded by police cars but nothing worse). We like having plentiful trees in our city. They are important for shade in the summer. But as we have a lot of storms, this also means there can be a lot of storm-damage. This year, roadsides have been strewn with ripped-off tree limbs waiting to be taken away and dumped somewhere. But we're Texans- we take it all in our stride, y'all!  ¶ posted by alice at 12:39 PM
