They just said, that for parents with kids at the Jr. ROTC Ball - please go pick up your kids. They will keep them inside until their parents come due to all the damage outside. I’m sorry I didn’t catch exactly where the ball was being held.

I believe none of the above exist and natural disasters are the result of explainable physical processes, to be honest.

Then you are intervening upon what may actually be true, with your presupposition that there is nothing behind or beyond the "cause" and effect of physical processes.

Whether it was a warning or not, I hope , while on their knees they thought about it. Anyway, hopefully no one was injured.

I live about five miles east of the Georgia Dome. I was in a grocery store and missed the whole thing. The lights didn’t even flicker.

I just realized what happened when I was driving home.

My son just came in from riding his bike around East Atlanta. Heavy damage, lots of trees down, lights out.

A large swatch of downtown and east side of Atlanta hit. Had to be a tornado.

And for CNN - no need to let a direct hit by a tornado on your bulding stop your interview with the liar Obama....

Actually cut TV on to look at CNN - and instead of seeing live reports of the damage in the CNN bldg and in downtown Atlanta....they have Obama on there spouting out lies and CNN spouting out matching lies.

I find it a bit odd about how selective people are about trying to connect natural disasters to the will of some deity, mainly.

About 30 years ago, a small tornado hit the Georgia governor’s mansion on W. Paces Ferry.

That’s scary. Glad you are OK. It must have followed a narrow path.

God was aiming at CNN and hit the stadium too...

Natural disaster is not alien to sports statdiums. I recall the World Series at San Francisco bay.

LOL - have no idea....and not all acts of nature are acts of God’s judgement.....thank God!

If he acted against all the evil in this country with weather, most of the US would be wiped out....as it would be in any country.

Even in His wrath, God is merciful....

I have looked at all local sources I can find, and no one is saying for certain that it was a tornado. If we did have one, it wasn’t bad, relatively speaking; I mean, like those in Tennessee a few weeks ago.
We have thousands and thousands of tall pines here in Atlanta. In a tornado, they are almost as deadly as cruise missiles. No pines down at my Atlanta estate.
Also, I cannot confirm serious injuries as reported above. I did read that the fifth floor of a building collapsed, but that report was sketchy. Just hope for the best and praise Jesus that it wasn’t worse.

I don’t connect but I accept that it is possible. I find it a bit odd that you will not even consider the possibility though:’)
