WHAT A DAY!

Cartersville's rounds with this storm system began around 4:00 a.m.. With some major lightning, I had just managed to power down the computers when a nearby bolt turned night into day. Thank goodness, THIS time I got all cables disconnected, when the TV and stereo suddenly blared into life by themselves. BANG!!!!!!!!!

Later, I woke to the news of the first ever tornado in the downtown Atlanta area and saw the damage at all of the major tourist venues to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars..if not far more.

Then at 1:00 pm came the tornado sirens, jet black skies, and high winds. Apparently some damage at the local airport, but across the area two people killed. Then the power went out for four hours. Seems like it was around 4:15 when I saw news of new cells..one heding for conyers with hail and another with "baseball sized" hail headed towards Lawrenceville. Then came two hours of war temps and beautiful blue skies. Now, very high winds and mixed conditions minute to minute. March IS coming in with a ROAR!!!!!!
