Tornado-like winds ripped through downtown Atlanta shortly before 10 p.m., damaging the Georgia Dome where the SEC men’s basketball tournament was underway, and leaving damage and broken glass all over the area.
Police and fire officials in Atlanta, overwhelmed by calls, were unable to give information on how widespread the damage was. Reports of damaged homes and downed trees came in from Cabbagetown and Midtown as well.

I feel so fortunate. The storm hit about a mile north of us. We never lost our lights, but large areas of Atlanta without power.
