Maybe I should not have used a strong work like trapped, I hope my mom does not see this...the campus police are in the process of securing the campus and then will let us go out, apparently there is some tree and powerline damage.

Quite an exciting evening here in Atlanta, I am trapped at school, they still have us on lockdown here on campus...I was here finishing a city planning project when the warning came out and there is quite a bit of damage around campus and especially in dowtown, the CNN Center and Georgia Dome were hit. I will post more in a few hours when we are allowed to leave :\

Be safe bsmart. It's nasty. Hope you find your car is ok. All ramps in and out of Atl are closed at this time. If you are headed to Gwinnett not so bad here. Lot's of rain and a light show that puts the 4th of July to shame. Damage downtown looks widespread and unfreakin' beleviable. Stay safe.

Be careful! I don't remember one ever hitting the city, metro parts, yes, but not downtown.

Just got a call from my brother in Athens, we have a tornado over Snellville now, headed towards Athens. What wild weather!

Be safe, gttbm!!!

Oh my goodness...I hope everyone is okay...BR...how about out BeachJ is she close?

BJ is in Midtown; thankfully the storm was downtown (south of that). But she has a view from her condo. She's okay. We were on the phone through it all.

BTW the SEC tournament has been moved from the Dome to the Boob (which she can see from her living room and says it is unharmed). The Boob (Alexander Memorial Coliseum at Georgia Tech) doesn't hold nearly as many people as the Dome, so a lot of ticket holders will be SOOL.

:shock:...oh my! Glad everyone is safe! gttbm, I can't believe the bad stuff is still there! Duck and cover!

BR, I'm seeing there's more on the way. You be safe too!

That's what they are saying on the news -- another bad cell heading our way. I have to work this AM (visitation day for potential students), but if it gets bad, I'm gonna take my car and head home to put it in the garage -- we've had the hail damage before -- don't wanna go through that again!

Hail. Worse than wind.

Betty Nguyen is safe

I was just downtown yesterday on the Fifth Grade field trip. We were everywhere around the storm area. - MLK museum, toured the CNN center, Fernbank, The Breman Center (Holocaust Museum). It is so strange to see everything on the news this morning in such shambles.

And Skunky, Betty was broadcasting yesterday when we toured CNN.

Anyone heard from NoHall? There were bad areas in Hall Co. early this morning.

It's been a long night. I just got up for the second time. Nana and PaPa are driving in from SoWal to our house today! Hoping they'll make it safe!

Yes BR, you guys stay safe as well.

Hope they make it safely.

The loft building in Cabbagetown that was hit was where Am and I lived when we first got married.

Cabbagetown has been hit twice now, the fire in '99 and now this. It is so sad. Cabbagetown is a quaint and beautiful part of town. They say a lot of the historic mill homes were damaged.

Hope they make it safely.

Ditto.

So sad.

It looks like a bomb went off near those lofts in Cabbage Town

Skunky, who was that other newslady (weather, I believe) that Punzy outed you for crushing on? It was a while back. What is it with you and newsreaders, anyway?

Dr. Forbes on The Weather Channel just said that the storm in Cherokee County has maxed out the rotation velocities on the Doppler Radar! Unreal!

Here's what the local news looks like on TV right now. The circle area is one of the tornadoes. Its the NW side of town catching it. Multiple fatalities have been announced.

Concerning, indeed.
