Tornado in Atlanta!

Last night the first tornado in recorded history hit the city of Atlanta, including the Georgia Dome, Philips Arena, the GWCC, CNN building, Omni hotel, and Centennial Olympic Park. Where was I during all of this? Inside the Georgia Dome, at the SEC basketball games, right when the tornado hit the Dome... it was absolutely crazy. We could hear a rumbling noise, it sounded like when people stomp their feet on the bleachers at a game, and then could see the scoreboard and the tv's hanging from the ceiling start shaking, then part of the roof lifted up, things started falling, and people started screaming and running from their seats to the covered levels of the dome. It was scary as hell!! Baby Claire's first tornado, we'll have to save pictures for her to see later.

There are tons more pictures on ajc.com, it's unbelievable that no one was killed, with the hundreds of thousands of people that were in the path of the tornado when it hit. A woman was killed in a Polk County tornado (about 20 mins from our house) today, our prayers go out to the family.
