Tornado?

Watching the SEC tournament and there seems to be a tornado warning for Atlanta and the game had to be stopped.

Winds (very high) apparently made the building shake and a 'locomotive sound' was heard, the floor was cleared and now they are trying to figure out what to do.

The main problem (other than safety and a dome is the best place to be if it is indeed a tornado and not just winds) is that the tournament HAS to be done at a certain time. They are not going to move the NCAA tournament back to account for this so they will have to finish here or move if the building is not secure (there was some 'debris' falling).

Information from ESPN and the AP was not used in this report. But I will link the news at ESPN since they have it too :)

Going out tonight, hopefully I'll have fun :)

Be very careful outside tonight global warming is here. (all temps are in F)

Look out for pets, old people, kids; make sure you cover faucets and let some water run so pipes don't freeze.

A very rough day in Alabama for weather (it was very bad in my part, but no damage that I can see):

Tornadoes kill 13 in Alabama; Mo. girl

By BOB JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer 13 minutes ago

ENTERPRISE, Ala. - Apparent tornadoes killed at least 13 people in Alabama on Thursday, including eight at a high school where students were trapped under a collapsed roof, state officials said. State Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Yasamie Richardson said eight fatalities "are in relation to the high school but whether they are all students or some students and teachers we're not sure."
House Speaker Seth Hammett, at the statehouse in Montgomery, announced that five people had died at Millers Ferry in west Alabama, where another apparent tornado tore into mobile homes.

Martha Rodriquez, a 15-year-old sophomore, said she had left the school about five minutes before the storm hit. When she returned, a hall at the school had collapsed, she said.

"The stadium was destroyed and there were cars tipped over in the parking lot and trees were ripped out. There were trees and wood everywhere. It was just horrible," she said.

More than 40 people were brought in to an Enterprise hospital as a violent storm front crossed the state.(link)
