| Tornado Recap |
| 03.15.08 (11:12 am) [edit] |
| Yep. They had a tornado hit downtown last night. I pulled another 14 hour day and got home around 8pm, washed my face, got in jammies, had some dinner and a glass of shiraz. I was out cold between exhaustion, a full tummy, and a little buzz. Fell asleep with the tv on. Woke up around 10pm to hear about a storm hitting downtown. Whoa. Watching it - I was down right there earlier in the day. The World Congress Center was not only hosting the SEC Basketball events, but also a Home Show (prospective customers) and a Dental Convention (also prospects). Parts of the roof of the Congress Center were taken off and some of the walls collapsed. Then pipes broke and water was flowing down stairs looking like an indoor waterfall. So many tall buildings had their windows blown out and additional pieces of glass keep falling from above. It's pretty dangerous walking around. Miraculously, despite being next to CNN and Centennial Park, the Aquarium got by unscathed. I can only imagine the damage a flying seal lion could do. I got some late night calls from out of town friends making sure I'm okay. I live about 10-15 mins north of where the storm hit. I slept through all of it. However, some amazing historic buildings were totally trashed. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt. Almost miraculously, if the SEC basketball game hadn't gone into overtime, more than 70,000 people would have been exiting right when the storm hit. |

The storms today were west and south... Just got a little rain. Otherwise nothing... Granted there were tornado warnings all over the place so we had 18 hours of weathermen. Fun. Fun!
