The Atlanta Downtown Tornado of 2008
Sunday, March 16th, 2008Just a quick note to everyone out there that Jameson and I survived the Atlanta Downtown Tornado of 2008 (I’m trying to make it sound more dramatic than it really was).
Strangely enough, I was outside walking my dog when the tornado hit — only just now did I find out that I was merely a few miles from the path of the tornado. I remember it being a nasty storm, and getting pretty drenched with rain, but I had no idea it was as bad as it was until I opened the door to my place and the power on the entire street went out. For about 5 seconds it was eerily quiet and very dark.
From my view outside, I can see downtown, and it is strange to see a few buildings still with holes in the windows and curtains flapping in the wind.
A strange occurrence, for sure — Atlanta hasn’t ever had a tornado in the downtown area (at least since they’ve been keeping track).
