Radar with warning overlay for Atlanta Tornado, Mar. 14, '08

An interesting radar clip...nice isolated development for plenty of good inflow, and a rightward component to the forward motion as well. Atlanta should have had lots of advance warning with this supercell, and it seems unconscionable that the basketball fans down at the Dome were not evacuated well in advance of the storm.

Yeah, there should have been at least a watch if not a warning once the first one hit. The outflow boundary alone could have popped more up, with so much instability present. I wonder where the doppler itself is located? Maybe they just didn't "see" it coming, esp. with no classic hook echoes and you don't expect it to hit in the center of a major city? I don't know.

wow. they got hit three times. imagine having your home's roof torn off and having to go through 2 more storms while getting stormed on

Atlanta is a thunderstorm magnet this year

About 10-15 minutes of lead time for the tornado warning, or close to the national average of 13 minutes. The NWS local storm report listed 9:40 pm, CNN reported it hit at "about 9:45 pm."

damn!! back to back to back.. all 3 go right over atl
