A severe thunderstorm, containing what officials belive was a tornado, possibly as strong as an F3, ripped through the heart of downtown Atlanta, GA, tearing roof of highrises, blowing out windows, and ripping furnishings and belongings out of buildings, ripping up trees and stoplights, signs...etc.
The tornado HIT CNN center, and also the Georgia Dome, which was FILLED for an SEC - NCAA basketball double header. The game was stopped as the roof started ripping off, fans started to scatter to the concourses as the roof was ripping off, and all the hanging lights and the huge scoreboard were swaying back and fort ALOT. Ive never seen anything like this. Its bound to happen though, with the number of severe thunderstorm, a nd tornados, espeically winter time tornados increases.
