Several of my out of town friends have been checking to see if I am anywhere near the madness happening in Austin right now. I am not and I am okay! For those of you who don't know what's happening, here is the current headline:
Small Plane Hits Echelon Building at Mopac & 183
Can you believe it!?! Yes, it is true. That area isn't far from where I live and I work about 20 minutes from there. (We can see some of the smoke from our office, but that is it.) For those of you that are familiar with Austin, this building is near where 183, 360 and Mopac all come together. Not far from the Arboretum and Gateway. It is right by a church I attended for a long time- Grace Covenant. The building is in a very busy office complex that also houses some Federal offices (IRS, CIA and FBI).
This just happened a couple of hours ago, so the details are still being sorted out. Sadly though, the initial reports are that this may have been some sort of suicide mission. A local pilot set fire to his house in Georgetown and now can't be located. The plane was stolen from and took off from the Georgetown airport.
Here is the link to a video that shows the traffic and a shot of the building.

For now, we will just wait and see what develops... and pray for those that work in that building.
