I don't think that we are in Kansas anymore Toto!


OMG! Downtown Atlanta was hit by a tornado last night and I slept through it! Greg and I went to look at the damage which I might add that this area is about 5 minutes from our apartment. It is horrible. The Westin's elevator glass is missing, the Equitable building is missing windows, cars are smashed, the Omni Hotel is trashed- the curtains are hanging out the windows! There are some really cool lofts off of Boulevard going toward Grant Park called the Cotton Mill Lofts. They had four floors fall down! The streets are all closed down and people are just walking around in a daze. Who would have thought that it would have came into the city. That's very scary.

That was crazy! It typically only hits trailers...are there new trailers in downtown????

You are too darn funny Brooke. I know that I might be trashy but I don't live in a trailer :)

I was hoping it would hit here and then we would move into a trailer and win the lottery...isn't that how it works??? ha! j/k

Can't believe all that glass is still falling. Shouldn't that have been the first thing they took care of. I laughed out loud at the guy they interviewed on TV. He said he was moving to where there aren't any tornados - WHERE is that!! No place is safe from severe weather.

Barbara you are so right! You would think that they would have made it a safe place for us to walk and be. As far as the guy that is moving where their aren't any tornados....good luck. The areas that don't have as many tornados have earthquakes or hurricanes. They all are no fun!
