I was hoping the tornado would hit TWC's studios so we'd have another outage, and a glimpse of the old icons!  :P

There was no tornado, maybe a microburst. I watched a special report on our local news and my grandma and I were about to take shelter, but the storm started falling apart once it got near Six Flags. That's a good thing about living here, it's like there's a brick wall around us.

Unfortunately I wasn't available to file a weather report when it happened, but there's some breaking news tonight.
Severe storms moved through Atlanta within the last three hours and possibly a tornado caused some damage in the downtown area of the city.

The Georgia Dome's roof was damaged and delayed the Alabama/Mississippi State men's basketball game for over an hour while there was other damage and injuries reported.  Some raw video footage just shown on CNN shows some damage to the Philips Arena facade could also be seen.

More updates to come and if anyone has anything to add, please feel free.

Cable News Network (CNN) (March 14):

I heard that the CNN building also sustained damage. :yes:

BTW, does anyone know where these buildings are in relation to the TWC building?

TWC is near the suburb of Smyrna, which is on the northwest side of Atlanta. The storm passed directly over TWC's studios but was not yet tornadic. The lightning show from the tower cam was spectacular, though.

I sincerely hope everyone in Atlanta is alright after this sudden tornado, which again proves that downtown areas are *not* immune to tornadoes.

They are about 20 minutes apart..  You would take the I-75 for some odd 10 miles North to get from CNN to TWC.
