What about Atlanta ?

So far there's just been some scattered wind damage from the cell in Georgia. Could change though.

Impressive damage north of Pensacola in Molino,Fl from a storm earlier this afternoon. Hasn't officially been confirmed a tornado but looks very likely that it was looking at the footage they have coming in.

Continued tornado warnings for Chambers, Tallapoosa, and SE Randolph county. I haven't seen any rotation out of the storm in a while though.

It passed very close to me but there was nothing noteworthy. Very little thunder and lightning and the rain is a lot less than it was with the earlier storm(that passed to my north)

I hope this is the last close call but there's a couple more I'm watching(including the storm that caused the Prattville damage but looks weaker now).

Looks like I'll be doing some driving around tomorrow to see if I can find any damage locally.

That's still way too close for comfort! Glad your area is okay though.

Atlanta is now within the scope of a tornado warning, though by the looks of it nothing will come from it.
