Atlanta's been hit hard....I think...

[skooooo]

You all ought to be tracking what's going on there. Right downtown there is twisted metal, trees blown over..

:-(

1. Any hints?

2. I'm in NE Atlanta and have been

watching it on the news. We were lucky, but downtown looks pretty bad.

3. Ouch. Prayers and thoughts are with you guys...

Tornadoes in Atlanta - they gotta be kidding me..

Hell, last time we had a tornado so close to us, trees were downed...

5. The damage looks horrific downtown

with the downed trees and damaged buildings... not to mention just the people on the street. :(

It's amazing how much damage a tornado can do in the downtown of a city.

10. Lots of trees down there

sheet metal and glass in the street. I've been watching their Channel 11 streamed, http://www.11alive.com/video/default_live.aspx?storyid=112917

They always wondered what would happen if one of those things hit a city. It seems this was a small one. I'd hate to see a big one.

4. CNN Anderson Cooper just had there reporter Don Lemon talking about it...

Seems like some areas were hit pretty hard and there are many injuries...

Hope there are no deaths or serious injuries....

9. numerous injuries.....

that doesn't sound good at all. :(

16. So far all the injuries have been minor. Cuts from flying glass from the blown

out windows. With the thousands of people who were downtown tonight for the games and conventions, that's very very fortunate!

11. When I was trying to leave Atlanta earlier today, I did say...

(more than once), "Gawd, I hate this goddamn place", but I just meant all of the fucked up traffic.
I'm only 60 miles away and I didn't know about any of this damage until I opened this thread.
I hope everyone is all right.

12. Just spoke to my daughter who is at work in downtown Atlanta.. its a mess,

looks surreal on TV.. she doesn't know of anyone hurt as yet.

15. We wouldn't have these things if it weren't for those gays and liberals

Seriously, I hope things aren't as bad as this looks initially.

:(
