Default Tornado in Atlanta

CNN: Tornado hits CNN (slightly and Atlanta, too)

Quote:
A tornado swept through downtown Atlanta Friday night, slamming trees into cars and homes, disrupting a college basketball game and damaging the building that houses CNN.
No deaths that I've heard.

Edit, later: Or, maybe it was just strong wind.

I've experienced gust fronts due to advancing storms that were easily in excess of 70 mph...

Whoever says "perception is reality" is daft. It's merely an abstraction, and often not a very good one.

I've heard CNN has problems with that.

(Okay, that was a joke - I hope everybody's okay down there.)
