As many of you have heard, we had a tornado come through Downtown Atlanta on Friday! Paul and I heard nothing about tornado warnings and had gone up north to do a little pre St. Patrick's Day celebration. We got home and noticed nothing. All we noticed was that it had rained a lot and that the dogs were really shook up. Went to bed and then got the flood of phone calls Saturday morning from many of you. The first was my aunt and she asked if we were ok. And I said, "Of course, we fine, why wouldn't we be?" And she went on to explain that a tornado went thought downtown. I was like "What?!?!?" I then proceeded to wake-up Paul and checked the internet and then decided to go look at the damage. Huge trees were ripped from the ground, glass shattered everywhere, power lines down, traffic lights just plain missing. It was and still is a mess and what is even crazier is that the heart of the damage is not even 2 miles from our house! No one was killed in the tornado and there were very few injuries. Praise God for that! Thank you all for your concern and know that we are well. Here are some crazy pictures of the damage!

Here is a picture of the tornado touching down.
This the Omni hotel and this guy is crazy for getting so close to the edge!
These are the Cotton Mill lofts. They are awesome 100 year old industrial lofts that I always have wanted to move into. But, just got demolished.
This is a piece of the Georgia Dome that flew a mile into this light pole.
