“There is no such thing as an empty lot.” So baby and I learned yesterday, sneaking through this feral patch of industrial park. We are deeper in the field today, so this week’s report will be brief.

When the storms began to clear Tuesday, strange clouds of a different sort started to appear on the weather radar, over the Interstate 35 corridor. The Austin/San Antonio office of the National Weather Service began to collect eyewitness reports of what appeared to be termites or grasshoppers. My friend Rob shared this Fortean outtake from the NWS page on his feed:
