Tornado Hit Atlanta: Hope Everyone's OK!

Downtown Atlanta was hit with a giant EF-2 tornado with winds up to 130 mph on Friday. And if that's not enough, today the city is hit with a massive supercell thunderstorm (with another tornado warning).

I hope all of you over there are okay.

Yeah, if you look at some more pics, you'll see that it really did deserve the EF2 rating it got. It takes alot to do that much damage. The winds were 135 mph at their highest point. There was one death; his body was found a day or two after the tornado. I live in Polk County where the EF3 tornado hit the next day. The same night as the Atlanta tornado, an EF1 tornado hit Cedartown, GA in the Lake Creek community. I don't think anyone was injured or killed. I was less than a mile away when that tornado touched down; I didn't even find out about it till the next morning.

Whoa, that skyscraper in the backround makes it seem like the aliens have invaded and brought mayhem!

I'm glad that the tornado wasn't very severe. It could've been a whole lot worse.
