Last night severe storms and tornadoes hit Atlanta pretty hard. We weren’t given much in the way of warning that all hell was going to break loose. The storms destroyed areas uncomfortably close to Baby Got Books HQ. In addition to pummeling downtown, the Cabbagetown neighborhood and parts of Grant Park took a beating, too. We’re fine, but still checking in with friends and neighbors.
Lain reports that The Wren’s Nest, very close to downtown, survived, too.
Crazy.

Mrs Shaft and our kids were at the Hawks/Clippers “game” (the Clippers are really, really bad) with friends and had no idea that a tornado was hitting the Georgia Dome across the street. Luckily, Mrs Shaft shot down my efforts to leave the game early (at approximately the time the tornado hit).

Hey,if you want a 50 foot Hawks banner from the game, there’s one blown up in a tree up the street from us in North Ormewood Park!

So you can finally answer the age-old question: Which is worse, being in a tornado or going to a hawks game?
