Now a tornado spotted west of Atlanta (not offical). X6

[RL3AO]

Didn't see that coming.

[Cyclenall]

This could be a major event, this is outragous. Many things are occuring right now.

[HURAKAN]

[Brent]

I didn't either.

2 more storms strengthening behind the initial storm.

I hate to say it, but the storm approaching Atlanta now looks much more impressive than the one that produced the tornado last night.

Two(!!) TVS back to back, first halfway between Anderson and Greenwood, Ga. Uh, TVS signature doesn't match rain signature? Cell about to go through mid to south area of Atlanta.

[RL3AO]

It is close to a mobile home park.

[Cyclenall]

It is close to a mobile home park.

As usual . What is it with mobile home parks and tornadoes!!

Storm approaching Atlanta doesn't look like it has a tornado with it. The velocity pattern doesn't indicate a tight rotation. Baseball size hail reported though.
