5 Images of Destruction: Last Night's Tornado in Atlanta

4 years ago Science

As you may or may not have figured out by now, I split my time between Atlanta, GA, and Frankfort, KY. I was in Atlanta last night, and let me tell you: a tornado in a major metropolitan area is bad, bad news. Here are some of the pictures I took, and a link to the slideshow.

I just have to say that I was running down the street when the tornado was hitting. It was pretty crazy! Their were horses running down the street and everyone was just running crazy. I have to say, it was one of the craziest moments of my life.

You are correct, in that God did have a Hand in this rare event. The great city of Atlanta has been marked for desolation, as the following two posts will help demonstrate. http://forums.armageddononline.org/showpost.php?p=181419&postcount=47 http://forums.armageddononline.org/showpost.php?p=203608&postcount=16 Like following the pieces to a puzzle, the original threads for these two posts are in the upper right of each. Ask yourself the question. Why would a building, with the meteorological symbol for a Doppler indicated tornado(inverted triangle,) take a direct hit in such rare fashion; especially one that was clearly marked recently for desolation, if the great city of Atlanta didn't repent? Not only is Atlanta marked for desolation, but the entire United States is ... by four ways, and in two parts. Why would the Devil encourage repentance? Can a kingdom divided stand? http://forums.armageddononline.org/showpost.php?p=154875&postcount=2
