Atlanta Storms

I've been hearing about the storms in the southeast, most notably the storms that hit Atlanta. A tornado hit downtown Atlanta friday night even and then headed east. I lived in Atlanta for almost 3 years, and my apartment happened to be just east of downtown. I am glad I don't live in Atlanta anymore, for many reasons...but I'm VERY glad I wasn't there while this tornado hit. I also lived in Kansas City for 1 1/2 years and each time those darn tornado sirens went off I almost shit my pants every single time. I remember the sirens going off the first time and I called my mom, who lived in Calgary Canada at the time. I was in tears and didn't know what to do, and she asked me why I was calling her (considering there are never tornados in Calgary). It was funny. I managed to never have to live through one, but I've had enough close calls to the point where those darn sirens scare me to the point of tears. Ugh.
