Several surprises hit Atlanta this weekend as a number buildings were damaged and people injured in an expected tornado. The southeastern U.S. was and is still on watch for several tornadoes to hit the region for the next couple of days.
In Atlanta, a tornado struck the Omni Hotel, the Georgia Dome, the Georgia World Congress Center, and several other sites that held hundreds of people at the time. The Congress Center looked as if it housed a waterfall after being flooded Friday night.
As citizens and visitors hit the city streets to celebrate St. Patty's day, many were unhappy to see their party come to an halt after the weather took a unexpected turn.
Several cities outside of the metropolitan area and as far south as Savannah, Ga, experienced blackouts for hours at a time. The strong winds and the lightning filled sky had people searching for cover all weekend. At least two people were killed in Georgia this weekend.
Who really would have thought? Atlanta? Mother Nature's wrath has no boundaries, i guess...
