TORNADO!

So, some of you have probably heard about the tornado that hit Atlanta Friday. Well, that is where Andrew was at a dental convention...and his hotel was 1 MILE from where it hit. When the power went out in his hotel, he actually went outside to watch the storm. What a smarty! :) That night, he heard the meetings for the next day had been cancelled, because part of the roof had blown off the convention center. It also severely damaged the arena where the NBA game was going on, ripped part of the roof off the Georgia Dome, where the SEC tournament was going on, and knocked windows and skylights out of most buildings. One was the CNN center, that Andrew had toured Wednesday. He brought home a piece of glass as a souvenir, and I can't believe windows that thick could bust out so easily! These are all pictures Andrew walked downtown and took the next day. The big cement pillar, is one of two "olympic torches" that fell in the olympic park.

The one good thing...because the conference was cancelled Saturday, he was able to catch an earlier flight home and got home at 7:30pm, instead of close to midnight.

The ironic thing about this, is the only two bad storms and tornado warnings we have been in before, were also when we were apart from each other. They were both in Oklahoma, and the first he was on a baseball trip, and the second I was at a dental convention. I told him these are all signs that we should never be apart from each other again!
