CNN covers a story - up close and personal
Mother Nature is tougher than all
of us.
A tornado swept through downtown Atlanta Friday
night, slamming trees into cars and homes, disrupting a college basketball game
and damaging the building that houses
CNN.
Atlanta Fire Department spokesman Capt. Bill May said there were numerous injuries and widespread damage reported in downtown Atlanta, with roofs ripped off and trees torn down.
The National Weather Service had issued a tornado warning for the area, in effect until 10 p.m. The storm came through at about 9:45 p.m.
Inside CNN Center, water poured through damage in the ceiling into the building’s atrium. Glass shattered, and parts of the building filled with dust.
Sometimes the story comes to you.
