This is pretty scary. I live in Austin also. There was a report on statesman.com saying that there may have been a trip wire. If that is true, this person might be changing his technique because of all the local coverage. Does anyone here have any experience with geographic profiling?

I noticed that the bombings moved South then West. Moving forward or toward something.

In addition, nearby Regents High School is on a two hour delay Monday morning for a security sweep.

Some had heard from friends who lived in the area that the explosion was the result of a trip wire, but police would not confirm any details in the blast on Sunday night.

Scary anytime, but it is 11:30 pm makes it even more scary. I am not sure if kids there are on spring break there this week but something else to be concerned.

Just in the neighborhood is being evacuated

Wow. Thought that was the deal after seeing the buses stage. Local news reported a two hour delay for one local school. But, that was before the evacuation.
