Atlanta tornado

[Ace Purple]

My brother Matt (a Mississippi State grad) and his girlfriend were at the M-State/Alabama game at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta last night when a tornado passed through the area. As he wrote in a text message moments after the tornado hit, "Wow. Everybody is freaking out here. I think the roof of the Georgia Dome just took a pounding."

Later I passed along the info that Tim Brando said on the Raycom broadcast that it was safe in the building, to which he replied, "If Tim Brando says it's safe, then it must be safe! It's a bit drafty in here now."

It was a bit frightening watching it happen on live TV, though.
