The SEC championship was being held at the Georgia Dome (Atlanta) tonight, and a tornado passed right over the dome, and scared the beejeezus out of all the attendees inside the dome.
They ended up suspending the game between Alabama and Miss. St. with 2:11 left in the game, and they cancelled the UGA/UK game later tonight because of some damage inflicted by the tornadoes. One panel section was damaged, and the hanging scoreboard/display was swaying during the tense moments, and is a cause for concern.
The news showed footage of cars being tossed around, windows blown out, a la "Twister", plus water pipes burst inside the Georgia Dome, as well as the CNN building, so the water is flooding everywhere the pipes have burst. It's going to be a crazy time to figure out where the teams will be playing tomorrow (either Philips Arena, or GA Tech's Alexander Coliseum). Just a crazy time to be a SEC fan tonight.
