Tornado Does Not Rock the Wren’s Nest


Written on March 15, 2008 at 9:10 am, by Lain

Everything’s cool, no worries.

No trees down, no windows out, and thankfully, nothing like what I saw in downtown and Cabbagetown while riding the train this morning. Let’s hope everyone’s okay.

Update: For those concerned, Fresh Loaf has posted a very helpful map of the most significant damage, as well as some serious pictures.

Update, 4:12 pm: Large hail this time. Looked like it was snowing outside for a while there. We’ve got a film crew here, and their cars got trounced.

If WSB is right, this tornado touched down closer to the Wren’s Nest (1 mile-ish) than last night (2 miles-ish).

Update, 6:05 pm: A survey around the home reveals, remarkably, little damage.  A few limbs down here and there, but that’s really about it!  Way to be, Wren’s Nest.

Everyone, have a great weekend.  If you’re tired of looking at tornado news, the Georgia Blog Carnival is up at Shelbinator.

    PHEW! I checked the blog immediately upon reading CNN.com, sure that it would tell me everything important I needed to know. So thank you Lain for alleviating my two greatest fears (1. Something happened to you or Amy, and 2. Something happened to the Wren’s Nest). Those photos look so scary!

    Thanks, Carson!

    As usual, I’m glad to hear you’re okay, too.
