Glad to hear you were alright. I missed all the "excitement" here in Atlanta as I was en route to NOLA, driving in hard fog late into the night. On my trip I discovered that with email and twitter on my phone (ATT 8525), I could have left my laptop at home. Cool hail pic. Glad to hear you were alright.

I used Tweetscan to search for words like dome (GA dome), ATL, tornado, and hail to find out what was going on. Amazing how much of the story I got 140 characters (or less) at a time. Of course, I'm also glad to finally get the whole story and learn that you really really really are okay.

Looking at your pictures last night I was reminded of the triple-hurricane-fun we had in Florida a few years back. In Charlie we lost a good portion of our roof and had some downed trees. Driving around the area the next morning it looked just like your pictures...however, you find that pictures don't really do it justice. Seeing your line about Twitter, I wonder what that summer would have been like with Twitter? However, most of the cell-phone service was down in our area, only GSM-based phones worked. From your blog posts and previous conversations, I know that you have a good network of friends in the community, but it's always interesting how an event like this brings a community closer together.
