Born to Love Weather
Cool story here. On March 29, 1991 in Atlanta Georgia, just 3 days after I was born, the NWS in Peachtree City issued a tornado warning for Fulton Co. This is where I was at. They brought all the babies into the hallway as they waited for the storm to pass. Here is some background information on these storms.
Here is some information on this storm, and other significant Georgia tornadoes.
March 29, 1991: An F3 tornado hit Cobb and Douglas counties, more than 50 million dollars in damage and 27 injured.
April 6, 1936: An F4 desecrated the town of Gainesville. It started off as two tornadoes and then merged into one. A pants factory took the worst of it, after being hit by the tornado, it caught fire and collapsed, 70 alone died in that. The approximated death toll is at 203. This tornado also came from the same system that spawned the deadly 1936 Tupelo tornado.
April 9, 1998: A high F2 struck the most heavily populated parts of Metro-Atlanta. Counties affected were Cobb, Fulton, Dekalb and Gwinnett. The funnel cloud was first spotted near Smyrna, and it touched down near Memorial Park cemetary. The tornado crossed I-75 and passed over an office park where The Weather Channel is located. The funnel lifted back up and touched back down in the city of Dunwoody. There it left significant damage to homes as well as Georgia Perimeter College. The storm then made its way into Gwinnett county where it finally decided to give up. It produced an estimated 250 million dollars in damage.
March 14-15, 2008: An F2 tornado tore through downtown Atlanta on Friday March 14, 2008 in the middle of the SEC Mens Basketball tournament. The tornado caused much damage to the area, including damage to the Georgia Dome, Phillips Arena, Omni Hotel, Centennial Olympic Park, Georgia World Congress Center, and the Oakland Cemetery. The tornado went right through the heart of downtown Atlanta. There were a total of 45 tornadoes reported that weekend, the highest rated being an F3.
