WSB-TV Atlanta tornado footage played at 20x speed

First, a brief clip from WSB-TV's footage of the March 15, 2008 tornado that hit Atlanta, which was the second in a two-day span.

Then, a clip that takes 1:54 seconds of the footage and plays it at 20x speed. This gives a better picture of how the Tornado moved through the city.

You couldn't see a tornado in there, but you could definitely tell it's a rotating supercell.

I live in chicago and i have had to live through through tornado warnings and trust me, It is scary

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.

for those of you that don't live in Atlanta, this was an actual tornado that damaged buildings downtown, it's definitely not fake

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.

Also, where are the power flashes? If there was another tornado, you would have seen a TON of power flashes.

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.
