Tornado in Atlanta,GA

Well yesterday turned out to be quite a day... Started out good we got together with friends to take the kids roller skating then ended up in the emergency room one of the little girls woke up with a sore neck and i think from roller skating it made it worse.. She is now fine... After sitting in the er for a few hrs we all got home and was getting ready to make dinner or maybe just eat! well as for us we just got done eatting and were getting into the truck when on the way down the road to the rv park we got hit with hail! So we turned around in a hurry to find a safer place then the rv, i felt so bad all my little pets were still in the rv.... After waiting it out on the side of the interstate cuase thats as far as we made it we headed back to the rv park to see the after math while on the way i started taking pix with my phone.. I've never seen such a sight.. It started out windy around 5pm jokingly i said " gee its gonna blow in a bad storm" Well we went into the resturant to eat came out and it looked bad. just thinking it was a thunderstorm we heading back to the rv park! Thats whne it all came about we got about 50 feet into the park when the hail came.. My husband turned our truck around and tried to get us to the job site where he works..

Well the storm came alot faster then the weather station had said there we were stuck on the ramp of the interstate being hit by hail.. Came down as golf ball size hail then got up to the size of soft balls we made Sydnie get out of her seat and lay on the floor of the truck covered in a blanket... It sounded like someone was hitting our truck with a baseball bat! i was so scared.. Never seen anything like it... After about an hr of this we got on the interstate and headed back to the rv park to see that damage.. Once there it looked like it snowed 3 inches.. Everyone was outside helping eachother patch up windows and holes in the roof.. Sadly not everyone made it without damage.. Other ppl in the park had broken skylights, broken windows and more.. i grabbed my camera hoping with little daylight left i could take pix which i did and today i'm planning to get more.. Here i am 7am the next morning going on no sleep cuase i was still worked up and worried.. i watched the news until 2am i think i dose off for an hr then my dog woke me having to go out.. i'll be taking more pics today since its light out and seeing what more damage was done.. Thing that blows me away is we have our satelite out in the open on a tripod and it made it! but my ac unit didnt, my dryer vents didnt, our skylights, and all the marker lights on the rv and even where i connect the satelite and phone didnt make it! its really unbelieveable... I'll keep everyone updated on the damages!

The best thing is everyone was safe and no one was hurt! Just our homes!
