rough weather in Georgia

There were severe thunder and lightning storms including tornados coming into Georgia from Alabama.

About midnight the local tornado serens went off, so we turned on the weather channel. Thomaston was right on the edge of a tornado projection. Tons of lightning and threats of large hail were described.

Luckily we only caught the edge of the storm. 

The next morning we drove to Manchester, where Michelle works and passed where the tornados crossed the road. Trees were snapped off and laying in every direction. Homes had trees on them and large pieces of the homes had vanished. It was an horrible display of natures power.

Barnesville, where we went to the BBQ festival and High Falls State Park, where we had hiked, were both heavily hit by the tornados. We were lucky to have been missed by the storms........
