Friday after work I went the the Albuquerque BioPark Zoo to attend another Friday night Summer Concert Series event. Instead, I got treated to Cat 1 hurricane force winds (peaked at 89 MPH), torrents of rain, and chunks of falling cottonwood trees. Here's a very short video I posted on YouTube, shot not long after the storm started...check out the comments, too. (I've got my DVR set to record Good Morning America.)

Here's another one shot by someone else and posted on Facebook. (Sorry, but I think a Facebook account is needed to see it.) This one shows the area where the audience was sitting right up until until the storm hit:

As you might have suspected, the concert was canceled. The zoo will be closed Saturday for repairs and cleanup. Much of the city was hammered by this storm. There are broken branches and debris all over this part of town, but nothing quite as bad as what I saw at the zoo.
