Georgia Dome hit by tornado?

[imjustagirl]

I'm 100 miles from an SEC city...I guess that's too far for Raycom.

Shame.

No kidding. Glad no one is injured.
It is a Raycom/Jefferson Pilot/Lincoln Financial broadcast.
Good luck finding it, this might help though

Re: GeorgiaDome hit by tornado?

Hammer's right.

You could see a ripple on the roof panels as the wind blew past.

The catwalks were shaking hard, like almost earthquake hard, and swayed for quite a while. It takes something hellacious to get a catwalk to shake that hard and sway that long. I'm sure it'll lead off SportsCenter tonight.

BTW-Gottfried's wife has a nice rack.

They said the game should resume in 10-20 minutes, but damn, the hoops-only jumbroton they hang in the corner was swinging around. It did sound like a train.

Yes, that was our washer that Brando put on TV.

 

[westcoastvol]

Tim Brando and the Raycom people are doing a hellacious job with this.

Negative, IJAG, it's only on Raycom's regional SEC broadcast.

Which is ****ing idiocy on the part of the conference, but that's for a whole 'nother time.

Just as a note, if you see Kentucky fans fleeing an active basketball game, you know bad **** is going down.

Mike Slive=****tiest, most invisible commish EVER.

 

[ondeadline]

They're supposed to resume the game in about 20 minutes.

Slappy, everyone in here is trying to use cells. I can't get through to my mom and girlfriend to tell them I'm OK.

 

[JBHawkEye]

I was listening to the game on XM when you could hear the roar.

Sounds like scary stuff if you're there.

Very strong storm popped up suddenly and unexpectedly; it was clear and calm about 8:30. The absolute worst of it was actually about 10 miles north of the Dome in a heavy restaurant / nightclub district. Hope people up there are OK.

Buckhead?

Watching the replay again, you can hear people cheering as the catwalks are swaying and the freight train sound is at its peak.

 

[sportshack06]

the look on Gottfrieds face when it happened knew something bad was going down.

How does the SEC finish? They'll need these teams some time to get loose. They are now 15 minutes behind on the 945 tip time.

Kentucky-GA winner has to play tomorrow at 330 pm. And their game probably wont tip until 11 pm tonight with this.

BTW - you can see the video on this broadcast on Yahoo! Sports under the broadcast section for free.

This **** is nuts......

They think the building is secure.......

I'm watching live on Yahoo.

Not to mention UGA went til 12:30 a.m. Eastern to dispatch Ole Miss last night in OT. Put on another pot of coffee - we may lap the Pac-10.

PM me a number and I'll call them

I'll trade you for getting one of the two reporters to email or call the desk.

Somebody post the live broadcast link.

And how do you take the chance of keeping people in the building until its been fully inspected?

Put as many as you can in the lowest concourse... reinforced concrete works...I was in the BJCC last year during the high school finals when we had a similar bout of weather -- tornadoes hit about 15 miles northwest...

The part of the building thats "damaged" is on the closed off section of the Dome. That said, those catwalks and the jumbotron was swaying. Hope those things are secure....or it wont be a good thing.

I have now officially seen the acting SEC commish more than I have ever seen ol' Toothy Mike Slive.

Tim Brando's doing a great Al Michaels and the whole Raycom crew's doing a great job with this.
