Everyone seems ok. I'm still waiting on more info. My mom lives in Acworth (north of atlanta).

See the pics of downtown?

[Banshee34]

Yep I saw the pics! That is scary having one touch down in the middle of a major city!

I hope your mom is fine!

Hum, interesting. Hope all is well. Does not sound like anyone was hurt too bad.

Dang I know they could use the rain in Georgia, but what a price to pay to get it

[Logan]

We could use the rain all over the south. We are still in stage 3 and stage 4 water restrictions.

We have been in a drought for a few years as well with the great lakes at almost all time lows, but this winter has been a dandy, and they say the lakes are going to be rising with all the snow mass we have.

tornadoes can hit pretty much anywhere, one hit salt lake city several years ago. It is rare, but only because downtowns/cities cover relatively little square mileage compared to the rest of the land across the country.

Back in 06 people thought a tornado hit downtown Indianapolis, as one of the towers was damaged pretty significantly but it was found that high/straight line winds and the way they wrapped around an adjacent building caused the damage. It was pretty crazy to go through town and see a tall building damaged like that.
