We had another round of severe weather here in north GA this afternoon and evening. It seems like we get severe weather on a weekly basis now. I was in Alpharetta and saw golf ball sized hail and at 5:45 you would have thought that it was 10:45 at night, no joke the sky was actually greenish black! I pulled my vehicle underneath a drive-up teller canopy at a bank (which was closed for the evening) to keep it from being pelted by the hail. A tornado touched down in Cherokee County and moved into North Fulton around this time, so I guess this was the storm I experienced. I hope all fellow Georgia SoWallers are okay this evening.

It was so dark at 6 that I went to bed! I haven't even looked to see if it rained, but I didn't hear anything.

If you saw a greenish color to the sky that was the indicator of a tornado. I've seen that one time here during bad weather back in the 90's and a tornado had touched down here. Haven't really seen the greenish sky with any of these other supposed tornadoes this year though.

When does this end? It seems every time we are under a tornado warning, my husband is out of town. So, I have to balance watching the news enough to know what is going on, and turning it off enough so that I don't freak out the kids. And by freak out I mean, get really excited. My 5 yr old starts gathering all the things we would need in case we need to go into closet (our only "room" without massive windows!). Last night he put together chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate granola bars. . . . And was deeply dissappointed when it passed just above us!

Why not just fork out $50 for a weather alert radio and go about your business as normal?

I have one. They go off so frequently for every severe weather alert in the coverage area of the station that it turns into a case of crying wolf. I've used it twice and turned it off both times. TV coverage is so much bette, now, almost down to the street level...
