Tornado hits Atlanta!


A strong tornado hit Atlanta last night. And where was I when all of these were happening? -- In my bed sleeping soundly.

In the morning my manager called and woke me up. He wanted to make sure I was ok. And I said, "I didnt even know there was a tornado."

All I remembered last night was before I slept, there were loud crashes of thunder that at first I mistakenly thought to be the train that always passes by near my apartment. But I made no big deal out of it.

I opened my laptop and googled the atlanta tornado. And there it was. The latest news I have is from CNN. Seems that no one had been reported dead but lots of injuries. Our office building though received a lot of damage; the office windows were shattered as reported by my manager. I would still have check my email to see the extent of the damage and see if we can go to office on Monday (...hehehe)

Reading along, they said it was "possibly" a tornado. So they are not sure yet if it was indeed a tornado that hit downtown Atlanta, but whatever it was it sure did a lot of damage.
