Tornadoes

[Army Wife'79]

Carnation I was thinking about you b/c today on the weather channel they mentioned your city. We had omnious sky today but it just rained hard and windy. Living in Kansas for 8 years I learned to respect the tornados and took the sirens seriously. I'm amazed that where I am now (in the South) ppl don't heed sirens and go stand on porchs. duh. I only wish they had basements down here. I miss mine.
Re: big cities, I think it was Austin that one hit a grocery store and the only part left standing was the meat freezer and the people inside.

My dad and brother were at the game in the Dome last night and I was talking to them on the phone during the delay in play. My dad, and according to the AJC, the athletic director from UGA too, thought that the sound was all the Kentucky fans stomping their feet above them.

Apparently, the Dome was 75% filled with Kentucky fans even during the Mississippi State vs. Alabama game.

My impression about the storm was that no one really knew that Atlanta was even under a watch or warning until after the storm hit. There were no local emergency broadcast scrolls like we usually see, and it was pretty funny to see the Raycom broadcasters cover the storm.
