Rough weather in downtown Atlanta last night.
A possible tornado hit the Georgia Dome and CNN headquarters.
First, the dome:
However, there was no announcement of the approaching storm for the 18,000 fans inside the Georgia Dome for the Southeastern Conference basketball tournament. The first sign was rumbling and the rippling of the fabric roof. Catwalks swayed and insulation rained down on players during overtime of the Mississippi State-Alabama game, sending fans fleeing toward the exits and the teams to their locker rooms.
"I thought it was a tornado or a terrorist attack," said Mississippi State guard Ben Hansbrough, whose team won 69-67 after an hourlong delay under a roof with at least two visible tears.
Second, CNN headquarters.
Now, the media always get the least literate person in the trailer park to describe the event. "It sounded jist lak a freight train." So, when the tornado hit CNN, I wonder who they interviewed to describe the event. I wasn't watching, so I don't know.
Too bad Jogee, I don't see any damage to the Capitol building.
Seriously, those folks in the dome had to be scared witless. I sure will take my chances out here on the farm rather than in a building with heavy things like scoreboards and such over my head.
