Atlanta Tornado Fest ‘08
I was late heading out to Lennys Friday night which in retrospect was a good thing. But once a friend text messaged me that Lennys had just got hit by a tornado (I had heard earlier that there were tornado warnings, etc. but who pays attention to that?) I do the stupidest thing imaginable and hop in the car to go “check it out.” Then I am texted that there is another tornado on the way but continue to swing down Decatur ST and through EATL to survey the damage because what storm takes the same path, right? Ok, perhaps I am a bit of a disaster junkie. And there were hundreds of folks out the next day snapping pictures of the carnage. These are mine.
Update: Fox Interactive Media has put some of my photos on the FOX website here.

Why were you late for Lenny’s? On the crapper with Magnapoop? Cleaning your car? Chasing squirrels? Planning your next vacation? You must be plain lucky to have been a Rupert Murdoch-approved EATL photojournalist… scraped clean from ‘hundreds’ others with fancy cameras and shared destruction afoot!
