Looking at the current radar in GA, the severe storms are building to the northwest, and moving east-southeast. If there continues to be rotation, my area could be under a tornado warning within the next hour or so! :o
Funny thing is we were under a tornado watch yesterday and got nothing. Today, we have no watch, and there have already been a few tornado warnings! :? Wish they could get it right!
Here is a great link for the current radar in GA:

Well, it's been wild to say the least! I was driving home for lunch when I spotted a funnel cloud here in Marietta!! :o This is the second time I have seen a funnel in two weeks! We now have flash flooding going on, but no more tornado warning. I heard this pattern may stick around for a while too. One thing for sure, we are definitely making up for lost time!
