Weather Alert: A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

The National Weather Service is putting you on alert, Austin. There's rain coming. And wind. And hail. Really big hail. The NWS says winds of up to 80 mph can be expected. EIGHTY! The rains are expected to hit Austin around 10pm,

[from the Statesman] "Bob Rose, a meteorologist for the Lower Colorado River Authority, said the line of storms likely will move into the Austin area around 10 p.m. and will remain in the region until daybreak Saturday. A tornado watch already has been posted for the Hill Country until 9 p.m., but could be extended to include Travis County, Rose said."

The National Weather Service warns people who may be hitting the town to take precaution. This bad mutha could come out of nowhere and leave you very vulnerable. Just sayin'.
