Hitting us pretty hard here in Ga as well already. Very tornado looking sky and wind. I was packing for a trip and looked out and the trees in back (just in back) were bent almost to the ground.
We are in Vinings (NW Atlanta, close in, inside 285). Very very heavy rain here, some wind, lots of lightning fairly close (within a mile) but no direct hits thank the Lord. The rain is letting up now, the creek is subsiding (it was out of its banks and backed up behind the culvert).
