Lovely shot.
We are hearing about Atlanta's tornado over here. Must have been quite scary for anyone in its path.

Nice contrast between the foreground and background. Where were you flying to?

Nice. Too bad "delay at Hartsfield" is the norm, though, a camera is a great way to pass the time.

Fortunately for most, there were only a few injuries and a couple of deaths. It could have been so much worse. A basketball game at the Georgia Dome went into overtime, if it didn't, over 20.000 people would have been walking to their cars when the tornado hit.

Lots of damage, ~ $200-$300 million USD.

One of the people killed, lived on the west side of the state. A picture from her destroyed home was found on the east side of the state, over 100 miles away.

A camera is a nice way to pass the time, although I've been told twice to put my camera away by security-type people in the last two weeks.

Thanks! This was a few weekends ago on the way back to Boston.

Tornados just don't usually hit downtown areas of big cities, mostly because of all the concrete and heat I guess.
