Tornadoes

So last night, my teenage son and his girlfriend and her family were at the Georgia Dome when the tornado hit downtown Atlanta. The SEC basketball championships were being held--we were watching on TV-- and the announcers said, "Look at that catwalk moving back and forth!" and the camera pans it up near the ceiling. Then they start talking about this weird loud noise they can hear and all we could do was sit in horror and pray for everyone. Thank God no one was killed in Atlanta, although there's a lot of property damage downtown.

Has anyone else been in tornadoes? My only experience was in class in the ag building at Auburn when suddenly some professor pops in and said, "A tornado just went over this building and nobody called us!" And we had just thought it was a particularly loud storm.

Interesting comment on TV last night: someone pointed out that tornadoes are clear and it's the debris they pick up that colors them and makes them visible. Good thing.
