Atlanta Tornadoes

This weekend we had some amazingly insane weather hit the area. Fortunately we weren't hit, but it literally went about 3 miles south of us. Seth was at a birthday party and I didn't really think much about it since we didn't have it bad by us, but he told me stories later of golfball size hail, horrible wind, tornado sirens and power outages. It was a scarey realization to know my son was at Chuck E Cheese that was in the midst of the storm and I wasn't there with him. So scarey! In the last 3 weeks or so, we've had at least 4 MAJOR storms come through here, knocking down trees, cutting out power and causing serious damage. While we need the rain and it's always welcomed, the wind and tornados can stay away. Here are a couple pictures of the tornadoes that hit downtown Atlanta. The CNN tower, Omni Hotel, Westin and many buildings were hit. Centennail Park (where the Olympics were held) is a 'war zone'. Many roads are closed and a lot of buildings are probably going to have to be torn down. They say that the tornado cut a path of destruction 6 miles long!!!! While it was scarey for all of us, the stories of survival and these pictures are truly amazing.






This is one of my favorites I've seen. I took all of these off of www.11alive.com so won't be abe to keep them up for long.
