A cluster of strong storms blew through the Austin metro area late Sunday night and into the early hours of Monday morning.
Many people at different locations in Central Texas were awakened to the sound of howling winds, power outages, the clapping of thunder, and flashes of intense lightning -- at times more than 2,000 flashes on the radar.
