Last week, Atlanta witnessed a F2 tornado that left our beautiful downtown in shambles. A friend of mine sent me some pictures that just sent chills up and down my spine. 7 years of living in Florida and dealing with the hurricanes sis not prepare me for the tornadoes or hail storms that we have seen here. The city has sustained over 100 million dollars in damage and is in the process of rebuilding. These pictures just show the power that a storm like this has.

Last night was horrific for the city of Atlanta. As the SEC Basketball Tournament was going on inside the Georgia Dome, a F2 tornado was reeking havoc on our beautiful Downtown. It all but destroyed the CNN building, ripped off the facade on the Phillips Arena, and damaged the roof to the Georgia Dome. That is only a few of the instances that happen. And this went on as the SEC Basketball playoffs took place in the Georgia Dome. The Dome sustained ample water damage and the tournament had to be moved to Georgia Tech's facilities to finish play. 
Today, as I am writing this, more storms are rolling across the Metro Atlanta area just north of where I reside in Roswell and tornadoes have been spotted touching down by officials. I really hate to hear what damage they will be doing. The pictures are from downtown streets showing the damage that was bestowed on our city last night. As we sleptm, crews worked to clean up the mess and get our fair city back in working condition. Buildings were damaged, hotels windows blown out, car windows destroyed, and a building left collapsed. As quick as the storm arrived, it also left. I do have to say that the city officials handled the crowd control well and made sure that people were taken care of. I was going to attached a lot of pictures, but instead I decided to give you a few videos instead. Thanks for the emails from all of our friends in the rain.
