Tornado Hits Atlanta 

This past weekend was one of the most interesting weekends the Metro Atlanta area has ever experienced weather wise. Friday evening about 10:00 a tornado touched down in downtown Atlanta. Extensive damage was done to the Georgia Dome, the Georgia World Congress Center and various additional buildings throughout the area. Airborne debris and high winds broke windows and lifted the roofs off of several structures. The SEC Basketball Tournament was suspended Friday Night and then relocated to Alexander Memorial Coliseum on the Georgia Tech Campus when it resumed on Saturday.

Saturday Was Even Worse 

While Friday evening was exciting, Saturday was even more eventful. Starting about noon storm after storm seemed to be like freight trains running through North Central Georgia. Even though it could have been much worse, there were two fatalities. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families effected

Have Your Roof Checked 

The news broadcasts have shown much of the visible destruction. What cannot be seen is the damage that hail can cause to a roof. If your Home was in one of the area that received hail, do yourself a favor and have a qualified roofer examine your roof for any hail damage. It is much better to catch it now before you have water damage to your roof and attic.
