Thanks for that link - here is a snippet from that source:

“Atlanta Fire officials said that at least seven to ten people were transported to local hospitals from that location.

11Alive producer Tracey Carmony said that much of the damage at the Georgia Dome is near Gate C, including shattered windows and doors between the Dome and the Georgia World Congress Center.

Trees and debris has been reported down across much of downtown Atlanta. Georgia State University police are reporting debris down on their campus.

Atlanta police said that a structure may have collapsed on Edgewood Avenue near Butler. There are other reports of damage to buildings in and just east of downtown Atlanta.

Police said that windows have been blown out in the Ritz Carlton Hotel in downtown Atlanta as well.

A vacant building to the north of CNN Center has at least partially collapsed, according to Atlanta fire officials.

A National Weather Service-trained spotter and police officer contacted 11Alive News, and said from his 10th floor room in the Atlanta Hilton, he saw a funnel cloud pass over the downtown area.

He said his room faces to the west, and said the funnel cloud was just to the south by “a couple of blocks,” and moving to the southeast. He said it was well-illuminated by the downtown lights, and accompanied by a “large amount of debris, flying in a circular pattern” above the level of his room.”

Let the looting begin! / sarcasm

Pray for the Atlanta cops—they’ll be busy tonight.
