OMG a tornado at the Ga. Dome. Al. & Miss St. in o/t. and all h$$@ breaks loose. Just talked to a friend coming out of Ruth Chris steak house who said that outside the dome is a war zone. Cars overturned, the dome of the Embassy Suites caved in. There is a van with no windows, no driver, windshield wipers still going. Doesn't appear that there are many injuries, not a lot of ambulences running. Obviously a tornado. My friend is weatherphobic. She says she is in need of pharmaceuticals.
What a tournament.
What a tournament.

Daughter says everything is okay on the Georgia Tech campus. But there is damage at the Georgia Dome. She can see the Dome from her condo. She called me and is scared.

Glad her bf is with her. Really don't want to drive there in this weather.

It wasn't bad south of Atlanta -- just some thunder. How was it where you are, gttbm? Glad your son is okay. Apparently a lot of places where Georgia Tech and Georgia State students live were damaged.
They were saying on the ATL news that it's a good thing the last game was in OT, or otherwise the fans would have been out on the street and would have been injured due to the flying debris.

Thanks for asking BR. We had lot's of wind and a tremendous light show. The scary time was this morning. My brother called from Athens to tell us there was a tornado right over Snellville. We grabbed the dogs and each of us had a phone calling our daugher to let them know to head to the basement, and our friends across the street. At first light no damage, just some limbs down. They said it was raining so hard that the doppler couldn't tell if the thing was on the ground or circulating overhead. We didn't second guess, we just hit the floor running!
