nablopomo march edition blown away by tornado
Posted by Alli on March 14, 2008
I was supposed to have an entry up by midnight yesterday, but I was stuck in the Georgia Dome due to the severe weather. I was “lucky” enough to see part of the wall fall apart and not get hit by any falling bolts (which I didn’t know about until long after it happened).
I must admit, it was pretty scary. Someone in front of us said, “It’s a fire” and they were out of their seats never to be seen by us again. It wasn’t fire, but there was floating insulation in the air a long with lots of tension. We were ready to get out of there as quickly as we could, but we stayed put until they decided to postpone the Kentucky/ Georgia game.
I wish I had more to tell, but there isn’t a lot to say. I heard the rain and wind pounding on the dome roof, saw the swaying beams, and didn’t really think it could have been a tornado until that became the buzz word around the dome. To get the local news we could go to the bathroom where there were TVs, but I really wanted to be with my family.
And now we are safe at the hotel, listening to rain and getting ready for bed. May tomorrow be a better day.

Scary. I’m glad y’all are alright. I read that the rest of the games would be at Ga Tech, but they didn’t say anything about the schedule and how they would deal with the extra game.
You have more bad weather coming in today so be careful.

So I just talked to your sisters, asking them to not do the trip — and they’re on the road! Listen — I didn’t raise fools, so you three and my grandbabies — and Melisa and Jaden! BE CAREFUL! I love you all.

Oh my gosh, Alli! How scary that must’ve been – thank goodness you didn’t know all the details ’til after! I’m so glad you’re alright! I’ll be praying for all of them, Mrs. Alli’s Mom!!

@ LMM- thanks for the good thoughts and prayers. We were all ok and stayed dry. We had fun with my sisters.

@ VSatt- we just stayed around the hotel yesterday. When the afternoon storms rolled through we were all napping and didn’t hear any of the hullabaloo. Glad we were dry and safe.

[...] well with the March edition and probably would have completed the task if it hadn’t been for the tornado. But I am glad you are forgiving and allowing me to try, try again. (I think I must point out that [...]
