    Odd stuff happening at the SEC Tournament right now.

    Game stopped, debris floating down from the ceiling.

    I blame Mississippi State.
    Not watching. McClaughlin Group is on.

    Announcers are using the old "sounded like a freight train" line.

    Raycom showing damage to the "skin" of the dome. There's now a hole all the way through one section, with wind blowing through it.

    Big rip in a side panel in the half of the dome away from the court. Catwalks are still swaying from side to side, nearly five minutes later.

    More proof that the world will end before this Bama team wins any kind of title.

    Fulton County under tornado warning for 10 more minutes.

    I blame Atlanta and its terrifying airport.
    See Jones's thread on looking for a new hometown to understand...

    We're all OK in here, I think. The roof and the supports were shaking pretty badly, and a washer fell from the roof like a missile and hit our press table.

    Scary shit, though.

    I heart you.

    Is this thing on national broadcast? I can't for the life of me find it.



    EDIT: Glad you're OK, HP.
