  • @and1strtblln i was down there the next and man

  • 4 people lost there cars

  • I remember when this went on in the atl

  • Like to see one hit College Park and waste it. SW Atlanta is mostly crackhead trash jigaboos.

  • @GAdawgsfan93 Yea atlanta isnt design for F5 that would've been sad to see this city is to cluttered and the death toll would be staggering

  • @smoothoperator1986 dont say that i would be in tears if that happen to this city :(

  • What if it was an f5 tornado, like the one that hit Andover, Kansas back in May 1991?

  • The tornado wasn't that big. It was only an EF-2 that caused some pretty good damage. But, be lucky it wasn't a destructive EF-5 that hit towns like Greensburg or Moore,OK in '99. If that happened, the Falcons would be playing with no roof and every building downtown would be heavily damaged or destroyed. Old neighborhoods east of Atlanta wouldn't stand a chance of not being flattened.

  • yeah I was there and it was a big deal. I lost my best friend there. I was in side the storm as well. it was scary. especially leaving the Georgia Dome and seeing the town that I love in shreds. I was with friends and it was a big deal. the only tornado in Atlanta.

  • it really wasnt THAT big if a deal, yea I was there
