Wow… Erin and I came down to Atlanta last night for some relaxation and turns out we drove right into a MAJOR storm!

Thursday night we got on Priceline.com to see about getting a whale of a deal on a fancy hotel. As it turns out there is something like a basketball tournament or something going on so we could not get any hotel rooms in the areas we like to come down and stay in. Lucky we couldn’t cause there was a tornado that tore through the area and we would have been in harms way! Check out a photo gallery of some of the damage HERE.

What we did get was a room in the Westin Hotel at Perimeter. Very nice and convenient to the interstate to get to all our favorite places. But it was a little scary to wake up this morning to Erin’s sister in Chicago calling to see if we were ok. We only knew of strong rain and some thunderstorms.

To top it all off, there was another band of destructive and deadly tornadoes that passed to the north of us this afternoon. Pretty scary stuff. They are getting 2-3″ hail up there.
