    I just got home. I work in B'head and saw them come by. It was pretty crazy. I heard about the ones in AL and they don't look to good either. I hope everyone is ok.

    all is well over here..its crazy..I was at work..heard it thunder a few times but didn't realize the weather was so bad until it passed and everyone started talking about it. I hope everyone is ok as well...Did anyone get stuck in any hail? I don't think my work was hit w/ hail..will double check the car tomorrow to make sure!

    Yea, it didn't seem too bad driving in it to Marietta so I was surprised to see Downtown looked like the Cloverfield Monster came through when I got home.

    I can't believe Atlanta was hit by a tornado.

    at work (QT @ Pleasentdale), a lightning bolt struck a street light next (less than 10 feet) from our builting. All the pumps where shut down for 10 to 15 minutes, debit was down, lotto was down. The street lights where down (but not the lights for the gas pumps) and the traffic signal from 85 was blinking red/yellow. ALL Diesel fuel was down for over 3 hours at least.

    It was pretty intense, when it happened it was the brightest light I ever saw and the loudest BOOM. Everybody in the store (around 30) ducked at the same time.

    yea something definitely messed up when the A Town gets hit by a tornado... But last I heard there were only minor injuries, nothing life threatening..thank goodness... My manager lives by the GA Dome..said he has no windows because of the storm....thats not a good feeling to have to come home to.

    I managed to see that storm from Gainesville on my way home late last night! Didn't really look too bad, but the lightening was interesting to watch. Was arching all over the inside of it!

    Luckily I managed to stay right between each set of bad storms. Got some hail but the car was in the garage. Was kind of unnerving having the severe weather alarm going off all afternoon.

    NXTLVL and I drove thru the massive rain that was left over from that for about an hour from mid SC to just north of Commerce. No rain-x FTL.

    Now I has rain-x.

    NO! Dude I'm so sorry. Me and my girlfriend were driving home from athens saturday and we got caught in the ridiculous hail storm. Thankfully my paint escaped unscathed though. I was real worried. We ended up parking up against a building since there wasn't any covered parking to be found in the area. It seemed to help a little.

    I hope you get it fixed up, man. :wtc:
