They kept saying it was going to be a bad storm, but hello? we live in the city - I really didn't think it would be much worse than some strong winds, a couple of downed trees, and some power outages.
Luckily all our friends are fine and our neighborhood was pretty much completely untouched, but downtown, about 3 miles from us, got hit hard - the Dome, CNN Center, the OMNI Hotel, Philips Arena - as well as a lot of the neighborhoods between us and there. Pretty scary.
Here are some pictures from the local news station:
Cotton Mill Lofts, where some of our friends live.

Windows blown out at the Equitable Building.
The outside of Philips Arena - pretty ripped up

And pictures I took driving around this morning:
