Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. (Jeremiah 23:19,20)

Here is a city without a clue. God loves the people in this place enough to keep sending them a message but they will not pay attention (imo). Last summer, suffering from EXCEPTIONAL drought, the Governor called for a prayer meeting on the Capitol steps. Three pastors and about 200 people showed up!

Will they get a clue now? Stay tuned..............................
A big hit suffered by the Communist News Network (CNN):

Two miracles that I have seen in the reports (I'm sure there were more):
1. A basketball game downtown was in overtime when the tornado struck or casualties probably would have been great.
2. CNN Headquarters suffered shattered glass windows and roof. Gigantic shards of roof glass fell 14 stories to the inside cafeteria below. No one was hurt! Amazing!

p.s. There has NEVER been a tornado to strike downtown Atlanta.


Tornado trashes Atlanta

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A trail of uprooted and broken trees, downed utility lines, peeled-off roofs and collapsed brick walls marked the path of a tornado that tore through downtown Atlanta.

The National Weather Service confirmed late Saturday morning that an EF-2 tornado with winds up to 130 mph struck the city Friday night.
"This was clearly a tornado," Lans Rothfusz of the weather service's Peachtree City, Georgia, office said.

Utility and cleanup crews on Saturday worked to restore traffic lights, clear streets and remove tons of debris in the city's business district after Friday night's unusual urban storm.
As more severe weather threatened to approach Saturday afternoon, police were urging people to stay away from downtown. Shattered windows and hanging metal could increase the risk of flying debris if storms packing heavy winds move in, authorities said.

Trees blown down in Friday night's storm crushed a row of houses in the city's historic Cabbagetown district just east of downtown.

Initial estimates from the mayor's office said at least 20 of the historic homes were damaged or destroyed by the tornado.

The top floor collapsed at one building in the Fulton Cotton Mill Lofts, a 104-year-old industrial complex redeveloped into residences. Police officials said everyone was out of the structure and surrounding buildings and all residents in the lofts had been accounted for. Watch firefighters search building »

As of 11 a.m. Saturday, about 10,000 customers were without power, but restoring it in some areas will be "very slow going," said Georgia Power spokesman John Sell.

More than 40 poles were broken, some in highly congested areas, he said.

Some customers will not have power restored until Sunday, Sell said -- and it could be even longer if weather hinders crews' efforts.

Heavy thunderstorms continued to roll by north of the city Saturday afternoon, prompting tornado watches and warnings.

Part of Atlanta's MARTA mass-transit rail system was shut down because of damage east of downtown.

The twister is the first to strike downtown Atlanta since record-keeping began in the late 1800s, said Laura Griffith, a National Weather Service forecaster.

On March 24, 1975, a tornado hit the city's Buckhead area, including the governor's mansion, she said. Three people died and more than 150 were injured.

The weather service said Friday's tornado plowed a path about 6 miles long and 200 yards wide.

The twister appears to have first struck several houses and churches west of the business district, then moved on to the Georgia Dome, CNN Center, Centennial Olympic Park and Cabbagetown.

A brick apartment building west of the Dome was entirely roofless Saturday morning.

Although tens of thousands of people were in the path of the storm -- many in town for a major college basketball tournament -- there were no known deaths and just one life-threatening injury, police said.

About 30 people -- one of them a firefighter -- were treated at hospitals, mostly for minor cuts, scrapes and bruises, police said.

The American Red Cross reported about 70 people were using one shelter it established, and a second was added later in the morning.

The storm struck the 71,000-seat Georgia Dome at 9:45 p.m. during a Southeastern Conference tournament basketball game. It shattered windows and tore roofs from buildings -- including CNN Center -- before continuing into several residential neighborhoods.

Mahsud Olufani, an Atlanta painter and sculptor with a studio in Cabbagetown, said, "It looks like a bomb went off, it looks like World War III."

A large hole could be seen in the 14th floor of a high-rise dorm at Georgia State University in downtown Atlanta. Students were evacuated from the area on buses. See photos of the destruction »

The storm interrupted a Southeastern Conference game between Alabama and Mississippi State.

"It was actually in overtime, and the game was getting exciting, and I thought people from the Alabama side were hitting the bleachers trying to get some noise going," said basketball fan Lucas Shields. "All of a sudden the TV went out, the overhead clock stopped working, and you hear that distinctive noise of a train."

Amanda Reimann, an iReporter and University of Georgia cheerleader, said she and her teammates heard a loud noise.

"It sounded like the fans were banging on the seats or stomping their feet, but it kept up and got a lot louder," she said. "Then the ceiling of the Dome started waving, the giant TV screens were waving, and light fixures and dust started falling.

"My teammates and I thought it was a bomb but our coach came running for us and a security guy and said it was a tornado. We all ran for the locker room." Watch what happened inside the dome »

The game resumed about an hour later, but a later game between Kentucky and Georgia was postponed.

A professional basketball game at Philips Arena next door was not disrupted, but the thousands attending that game also had to make their way home through the storm debris.
Police closed several streets in the vicinity of CNN Center because of glass and other debris. Two of Centennial Olympic Park's towering Olympic torches were toppled and a performance pavilion was destroyed.

Inside CNN Center, water poured through the damaged roof into the building's atrium. Glass shattered, and parts of the building filled with dust.

Virtually all of the windows facing Centennial Olympic Park on the Omni Hotel, which is adjacent to CNN Center, were shattered. Visitors to the hotel were moved to the facility's exhibition hall at street level. Watch scenes of the destruction »

CNN moved its national desk operation to another location Saturday after parts of the ceiling fell in, and CNN International aired domestic programming. Windows also shattered in the CNN.com newsroom, and CNN's library was damaged.

Slabs of metal and insulation material were strewn on the streets outside. Heaps of bricks and drywall were pushed up against cars. Street signs were bent in half.

The city's St. Patrick's Day celebration and the SEC parade set for Saturday morning were canceled. SEC tournament games were to be moved to the Alexander Memorial Coliseum at Georgia Tech in Atlanta's undamaged Midtown area.
