I REMEMBER THIS!!!!! I was living in Forest Park at the time, and all the tornado sirens were going off. The weather channel was beeping its emergency broadcast warning, and I kept hearing, TORNADO ON THE GROUND IN ATLANTA! It took the roof off the GA Dome and took out some windows at CNN. I was worried it was gonna come south. Thank God it didn't, lol. Yeah, the myth that says tornadoes don't strike big cities IS A LIE! They do.
Glenn Burns could make up 4 this bad call this Friday night. There's probably gonna be more bad storms like the past two Mondays, but the storms Friday will likely have a greater tornado chance. I like seeing tornadoes, but it's not great when my house is surrounded by giant trees.
ok for all you idiots that dont live in atlanta and wernt there. There was a tornado it was rain wrapped the tornado was inside that cloud of rain and it did go trough atlanta. And no its not fake. So if you have no idea what your talking about dont leave a dumbass comment.
There is obviously rotation, but you can't jump to conclusions and scare Atlanta into believing that there's a large tornado like the May 3,1999 F5 going through downtown. If that were true, everything would have been DESTROYED. I live in Lawrenceville and saw a funnel cloud right over my house the same day maybe 30 mins. later.
The EF-2 tornado that hit Atlanta occurred at NIGHT around 9:45. There are a bunch of stunned SEC basketball fans that can prove that. This footage was from a severe weather outbreak the next day. Glen Burns was an idiot on this one because I'm 16 and I can tell that this wasn't a tornado. The lighter colored sky behind those low clouds are the rain/hail core. The lower clouds to the right are just a part of the wall cloud, or a funnel cloud that failed to organize.
I don't see where people are so dumb to think that day that there wasn't a tornado when the aftermath proves it was a tornado.....i don't think just a severe storm would blow out that many windows all across the city to to mention tare out that poll in college park that probably weights 2 ton or more......Not to mention i am north east ish from atlanta towards athens.....We had a twist touch down from that same storm system.....It was massive...strong EF2 possibly a EF3

Ooops...my bad. The actual twister (rated F2 by authorities) hit ATL on 3/14/08. This vid is dated 3/15/08. More severe weather hit the city that day, but no twister, so I guess the newscaster on this vid got the facts just as wrong as I did! LOL!
Unlike the spectacular "dry" twisters of the midwest, southeastern tornadoes are often rain-wrapped, which was the case w/ this one. That's the only reason it doesn't look as defined as others you guys may have seen on the 'net. The NWS & NOAA said this was definitely a tornado! So much for the myth that twisters can't touch downtown areas.
This "so-called" tornado wasn't shit. I live in Decatur and reviewed the footage. This is just a case of a good burst of wind hittin the city and Atlanta folks trying to blow it up to being more than it was. Its like how New Yorkers ALWAYS claim that the have the biggest, baddest, and worst of everything. This was NOTHING more than wind from a thunderstorm. Go to Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma if you Atlantans want to see what a REAL TORNADO is all about.
ATLANTA TORNADOES, SOUTHERN TORNADOES?!! WTF r u talking about?! Dude, get deez nuts! I do not see ANYONE mentioning a comparison between the two. And again, it was an Atlanta BREEZE, not a tornado. I don't give a damn what Ken Cook on Fox5 calls it!
LOL! Sorry bruh, but, u know what I mean. I'm just sayin.. I don't see nothin but a black cloud, NO SPINNING, NO WHERE WHATSOEVER! Now, it was a good blast of wind, but, a tornado? Tell me at any point, where a tornado is seen. Anyone?... Anyone?... Voodoo meteorology...
A single lightning bolt can kill you. Downplaying a severe weather system isn't wise. People did die that day and it's a miracle no one died the night before when the storm hit during an NCAA game.
If they're not so bad, then by all means go stand in one.
I giz a damn about how bad severe weather can be! Nor am I scared of any lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, or anything else that anyone or anything dares to throw at me! You know why?... I played high school football!
This was the day after the tornado that hit downtown Atlanta. We had tornado warnings all day Saturday. The date is Saturday, March 15th, not Friday, March 14th There were no other confirmed tornadoes to hit downtown.
National weather Service out of Peachtree confirmed this to NOT be a tornado.. This video was on March 15, No tornadoes hit the Atlanta area or any county surrounding Atlanta on March 15th.. confirmed by the National Weather Service out of Peachtree, Georgia.
LOL! You really should double check your dates hun! The tornado hit the downtown area during the basketball game at the dome (check for yourself because the game was interrupted) Friday night around 9:40 pm. That's March the 14th sweetie.March 14th not Saturday the 15th.By the way I was there too and it was defintely a Tornado. I don't understand the controversy...who argues about a tornado? If a tornado hits OKC nobody says...no it didn't that was just clouds. LOL People are funny! :)
Well first off i know for a fact yes tornadoes hit downtown atlanta on the 14th. .but THIS VIDEO IS ON THE 15TH .. so that is why i commented that.. i think YOU should DOUBLE CHECK your stuff b/4 u make a post like that. READ the post b/4 u comment on it.. i never said a tornado DIDNT hit on the 14th i know it did. i never said anything about the 14th. Get you facts strait.... sweetie.
There was plenty of damage just google it and you'll see trees pulled up from the root, cars trashed and the CNN building badly damaged. Wall clouds don't do that!!! When have you ever just seen a wall of clouds pass from one area to another causing damage everywhere it went....actually I see it all the time...it's called a tornado!
Everything you talked about happend on the 14TH of MARCH this video is taken on the 15TH of MARCH. No tornadoes happend in Atlanta or any county surrounding it on the 15th.
this was not a tornado, the weather channel concluded that this was simply a huge rain cloud. the real tornado did not hit till dark. how can you think this is the tornado if it is still day? i know people will rate this down. why should you?
That bastard Glenn Burns scared the shit out of me with this footage. My apartment is in the shot of that, and I was fearing for my life. Nothing happened. Just some rain and about 10 seconds of hail. Early warning my ass...try, let's scare the hell out of everyone so they won't change the channel. Stay tuned for impending doom, suckers. This "tornado" didn't hit Atlanta.
well whats in this video is a micro burst. could have been a gustnado spin up in there as well but from what the video shows there is no tornado. BTW micro bursts can do similar damage as tornadoes. I trust my 20 yrs studying storm features and structure when i say its a M-B.
to people that are not familiar yeah it would look like one like a really big one, but note the rain foot, the roll cloud and watch it get larger in area as time goes on. i dont doubt spin ups cuz looks like in the foreground a few places look like they start to form funnels. as i said b4.. Impressive clip tor or no tor lol
Uh yeah, the tornado definitely didn't hit here until about 9 o'clock that night. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon in that clip. There's some major damage though. Sucks getting to school.
Tornados there and here look different. Ones in Tornado alley are usually quite defined and can easily be seen. Here, they're wrapped in rain usually. However, you're right... it wasn't a tornado, just a wall cloud.
well first off a tornado is a tornado, they all come in diffrent shapes and sizes. Any shape and any size can hit anywhere at anytime. Also just as many HP (High Precipitation) supercell tornadoes hit the midwest as other parts of the county. But you are correct on the no tornado part.
This wasn't actually a tornado. There was no tornado reported in downtown on Saturday. The meterologist on the weather channel described it as a wall cloud with heavy rain and hail below it. I've see those wall clouds before and they do look like tornadoes. But this wasn't a tornado.
that would be the state of Georgia, atlanta is a city. But tornados are common in the midwest, however Georgia not as frequent, tho its very unusual in March i believe.
its the state of georgia. atlanta is the capital city. no tornados dont usually hit big cities because the cities surface area is so small, tornados have a better chance of hitting a suburb or the countryside. its just by coincidence that cities dont get hit that often, this is pretty rare
This is only partly true. Tornados don't usually hit large cities because the heat trapped by the increased number of city streets effect the formation of the tornados. The exception is when the storm is organized enough to overcome the warmer temp.
thats not exactly true. its a common misconception that tornadoes are less likely to hit large cites but theres just as much a chance of a tornado hitting a big city it just doesnt happen often. but the chances are just the same as anywhere else. just has to be the right meteorological combination at the right time.
ignore my previous comment, i thought jer414 u were suggesting we should not belive its a tornado. sambojambo, unfortunately you're full of it. thats a tornado
This is not a tornado, but a heavy rain and hail shaft. And this was from Saturday late afternoon, not Friday night. (this is not the storm that killed two about 40 miles north of Atlanta ealry Saturday afternoon.
cause where big cities are place are where tornados rarely hit, also its with the jet steam and the area which cold fronts and warm fronts hit and tornados like to be in the area where the two fronts hit each other.
Ps Tornados don't have feelings they are just fast warm and cold air going up and down in one place
Tornadoes rarely hit big cities because cities are geographically small whereas open fields are geographically large. Tornadoes have hit several large cities--Miami, Okla City, Ft. Worth, Nashville, Salt Lake City, and now Atlanta. It has nothing to do with the buildings. As the Atlanta tornado shows, tall buildings are no match for strong winds.
The precipitation is obscuring the tornado really well. Sometimes it is impossible to find tornadoes when heavy rainfall masks their approach. That is indeed genuine footage. I thought it was simply a virga cloud at first.
Someone needs to put "FIX TORNADO SIRENS" on Shirley Franklin's TO DO list. Just like the rest of our public works, at least half of them don't work.....
well, it's obvious that you don't know much about storm structure. There is clearly rotation when you watch the sped-up version. Just because there are no striations or *significant* signs of it, doesn't mean that there is none at all. Also, near the end of the video even on the part that is normal speed, you can see the edge of the wall cloud to the far right and near the top.
I'm using the T.V. newscasts in my journalism classes here in Chicago because the on-the-street coverage following the tornado was excellent. It's so tough doing a telecast with no script or plan and a camera person following after you and I'm impressed by the professionalism and clear thinking of the people doing the reporting. Of course to my students everyone on Atlanta T.V. looks so dressed up and so attractive and I tell them that's the South and that Atlantic is indeed a special town.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Georgians freak out about weather WAY too much. They act like it's the end of the world when it flurries or a thunderstorm comes through. Even after all of this shit, who died? Two old people. That's it. Yet, they still act like fucking 9/11 hit the state. I fucking hate this state so much.
I think it's a big deal anytime you have a tornado strike the downtown area of any major metropolitan city. I work across the street from the CNN center, and our building was damaged. Not a huge deal, but $200,000,000 in damage (in total) isn't peanuts. If you hate it so bad, you should move.
"Two old people?" One of those people died from being thrown 50 feet from their home and the other died after a tree fell on him. How can you measure devastation to one's home and livelihood by the number of deaths? It seems like the media did their job this time considering it hit during a busy Friday night in a big city and continued the next day.
You can easily turn off your television and take a vacation.
It was a tornado, dumbass. A tornado hitting a major metropolitan area is big news. And what if those two old people had been your grandparents? What an idiot...
I REMEMBER THIS!!!!! I was living in Forest Park at the time, and all the tornado sirens were going off.

i got a question?... im not fromt he states, but i wana know, does tornadoes normally hit the state of atlanta?
cheslins27 4 years ago
that would be the state of Georgia, atlanta is a city. But tornados are common in the midwest, however Georgia not as frequent, tho its very unusual in March i believe.

mia5620702200 4 years ago
its the state of georgia. atlanta is the capital city. no tornados dont usually hit big cities because the cities surface area is so small, tornados have a better chance of hitting a suburb or the countryside. its just by coincidence that cities dont get hit that often, this is pretty rare
Golf3rM4n 4 years ago
This is only partly true. Tornados don't usually hit large cities because the heat trapped by the increased number of city streets effect the formation of the tornados. The exception is when the storm is organized enough to overcome the warmer temp.

common misconception that is not true
Golf3rM4n 4 years ago
thats not exactly true. its a common misconception that tornadoes are less likely to hit large cites but theres just as much a chance of a tornado hitting a big city it just doesnt happen often. but the chances are just the same as anywhere else. just has to be the right meteorological combination at the right time.

This is not a tornado, but a heavy rain and hail shaft. And this was from Saturday late afternoon, not Friday night. (this is not the storm that killed two about 40 miles north of Atlanta ealry Saturday afternoon.

The tornado that went through Atlanta was on Friday night. It was an EF-1. The EF-2 was like 40 miles north of Atlanta on Saturday.
marq996 4 years ago
rare in northern big cities, not in GA, we get tornado warnings at least once a month Jan to April because of the temp transition
goeckeritz 4 years ago
cause where big cities are place are where tornados rarely hit, also its with the jet steam and the area which cold fronts and warm fronts hit and tornados like to be in the area where the two fronts hit each other.
Ps Tornados don't have feelings they are just fast warm and cold air going up and down in one place
Andythomas12 4 years ago
why is it rare in big cities? i dont think tornados know or care where they are...
i2aj3i 4 years ago
its rare because theres large buildings that block the air, thats why theres alot of tornados in the Great Plains

chococat830 4 years ago
Tornadoes rarely hit big cities because cities are geographically small whereas open fields are geographically large. Tornadoes have hit several large cities--Miami, Okla City, Ft. Worth, Nashville, Salt Lake City, and now Atlanta. It has nothing to do with the buildings. As the Atlanta tornado shows, tall buildings are no match for strong winds.

Souhtern tornadoes are like their women, fat and slow. The skinny fast ones are up north and the corn-fed monsters come from the midwest.

The precipitation is obscuring the tornado really well. Sometimes it is impossible to find tornadoes when heavy rainfall masks their approach. That is indeed genuine footage. I thought it was simply a virga cloud at first.

mbatl0907 4 years ago
well, it's obvious that you don't know much about storm structure. There is clearly rotation when you watch the sped-up version. Just because there are no striations or *significant* signs of it, doesn't mean that there is none at all. Also, near the end of the video even on the part that is normal speed, you can see the edge of the wall cloud to the far right and near the top.

I'm using the T.V. newscasts in my journalism classes here in Chicago because the on-the-street coverage following the tornado was excellent. It's so tough doing a telecast with no script or plan and a camera person following after you and I'm impressed by the professionalism and clear thinking of the people doing the reporting. Of course to my students everyone on Atlanta T.V. looks so dressed up and so attractive and I tell them that's the South and that Atlantic is indeed a special town.

Georgians freak out about weather WAY too much. They act like it's the end of the world when it flurries or a thunderstorm comes through. Even after all of this shit, who died? Two old people. That's it. Yet, they still act like fucking 9/11 hit the state. I fucking hate this state so much.

I think it's a big deal anytime you have a tornado strike the downtown area of any major metropolitan city. I work across the street from the CNN center, and our building was damaged. Not a huge deal, but $200,000,000 in damage (in total) isn't peanuts. If you hate it so bad, you should move.
sardukar78 4 years ago 4
"Two old people?" One of those people died from being thrown 50 feet from their home and the other died after a tree fell on him. How can you measure devastation to one's home and livelihood by the number of deaths? It seems like the media did their job this time considering it hit during a busy Friday night in a big city and continued the next day.
You can easily turn off your television and take a vacation.
