      Nope. Shorten up the link a bit and you find this:

      Laughlin Air Force Base Radar Crushed By Thunderstorm Winds

      The NEXRAD radar KDFX, located at Laughlin AFB in Texas was literally crushed by a thunderstorm microburst on May 26, 2001. The radar estimated winds at 64 knots (74 mph -- hurricane force) at its last scan before it stopped reporting. Needless to say, this radar will be out of service for some time As of early June, the radar was expected to be restored "between July and September" according to the NWS.

            No.... i just saw the picture and assumed it was taken someplace in Florida and the damage from the hurricane.... didn't bother looking up what KDFX was

              that probably would have been my first guess too, though

                Oh yeah, unfortunately Texas is famous for it's monstrous microbursts. Just think about DL 191 at DFW .
