From 590 KLBJ News Radio Austin:
Congress Avenue between 11th Street and Cesar Chavez downtown is closed this morning as police and firefighters investigate the unusual deaths of about a dozen birds. The birds are lying in the middle of Congress avenue just a few blocks south of the Capitol. The entire street has been blocked off while crews take samples and try to determine what happened.
Yesterday in Plano, I saw a least 7-8 dead grackles in the parking lot at FedEx Kinko’s (US 75 and Plano Parkway). It looked like some punk had shoot them off the electrical lines overhead.
Outside Texas, a Strong Gas Odor Permeates Manhattan.
[Update: MYC Mayor Bloomberg: We are waiting for the gas to pass
