Austin is in for a sunnier day today, but the aftermath of last week's severe weather can still be seen throughout Central Texas.

One week after a tornado touched down, San Marcos is trying to pick up the pieces. Homes that were hit still had plastic tar covering holes in roofs, debris litters yards and fields and a trampoline is still wrapped around a tree.

Last Saturday, a small tornado tore through businesses and homes in San Marcos, damaging the city's police station and cars.

A week later, not much has changed.

Just ask Alex Gamboa, a storm victim whose roof was blown off during the storm's high winds.

"Nobody knew that the roof was gone, until my mom looked in the back yard and said, 'Hey, there's somebody's roof in our back yard.' It turned out to be ours," he said.

San Marcos Police Chief Howard Williams jokes that his officers refer to an iron pole buried four feet in the ground as the Tornado Memorial.

But the pole didn't fly off the roof of the Police Department during the tornado. It flew off the roof of one of the Thermon Manufacturing buildings, some 400 yards away.

Chief Williams showed Mayor Susan Narvaiz the damage to the police station on Saturday.

"As the tornado passed over, it literally pulled the roof up slightly," the chief said.

It was the first time Narvaiz had seen the damage. She had been in Chicago, and could not return because of the ice storm.

"We went from tornado, high winds, probable flash flooding, to an ice storm, all in one week," she said. "Amazing."

That ice storm kept Chief Williams from getting to take a closer look at the damage to the Police Department until Thursday.

"That was really the first time I had to come back and look at the walls and see just how badly they were damaged," he said. "I mean I realized we had a hole in the wall. I didn't realize that we had a 40- to 50-foot section of wall that was leaning so far out, that much damage."

Some 35 police cars were damaged as a result of the tornado, and nine are completely out of commission.

Closer to town, along Gravel Street, there are still several homes with plastic tarps over the roofs. And you can still see a trampoline — several feet off the ground and wrapped around a tree.

If you look over the Wonder World bridge, debris is still strewn all over the place. Of course, the Police Department was hit the hardest of all a week ago today.

"To be fair, we probably know precious little now than what we knew then because we haven't had a whole lot of time to work on this issue," said Chief Williams.

"After the tornado passed and we realized we would be getting no more tornadoes, we started preparing for flash flooding because of the rains. San Marcos is notorious for its flash flooding.

"Then when we realized the flash flood problem had passed, then it was the ice, so we started ice issues. So we've really only had one day to deal with the ice issues. That was this past Friday."

The city has not yet been able to put a dollar amount on the total damage.
