Tornado at MSU V Bama NCAA game?

[Turin39789]

I just lost my feed of the bama game, it looked like they had something bang through the roof and some debris floating down, they mentioned a tornado warning and then my feed went black

 

[Nitemare]

damn

 

[Turin39789]

TV is back, but looks like roof insulation was floating down and a lot of the stands cleared out.

So no one hurt, but it did sound like a train and something got broke.

There's thunderstorms in Atlanta right now but no tornadoes.

Gah. The sportscasters tricked me!

 

[alien42]

i am about 3 miles south of the game and the tornado sirens have been going off for about 5 minutes, when a tornado warning (not watch) was announced. shit looks crazy downtown.

 

[Queasy]

Whoops. Nevermind. Weather.com is showing a tornado alert for Atlanta.

Weather.com automatically opens for me for Norcross, GA which is just north of Atlanta. No tornado warnings there.

My bad.

No. Thunderstorms are the most common precursor to Tornadoes.

I was cussing Raycom when I lost the signal on cable. Lets get this game finished with a MS State victory.

 

[alien42]

the sirens have stopped and we are now under severe thunderstorm warning

 

[Rubycon]

Looks like a TVS to me.

Latest update indicates weakening rotation but it's still a hailer.

[Turin39789]

they are talking about the roof rippling again, and its getting noisy again, with weather noise and the crowd freaking out

 

[alien42]

they are evacuating the Hawks game right now

 

[EXman]

They just showed the wind blowing into the arena in a closed off area. the sheets blowing in revealed it looked like minor structural damage. Regardless the catwalk and everything hanging above was rocking like a ride at six flags. debris feel from the ceiling including a fairly large washer???

 

[EXman]

Going to start play again in 10 minutes after they sweep the floor.

they say the building is secure.

Is this game just on a local channel?

FSN network here so most likely being shown in the south east only unless you have direct or dish.

 

[Turin39789]

im done being excited about the weather. Anyone know what channel the UK v Georgia game is on? I just have basic cable, and it looks like I need to head to a friends or bw3's to see it. Is raycom an actual channel?

* edit - nm sounds like I'm waiting for this game to end

It is the SouthEaster Basketball Tournament so many local channels throughout the South east from Raycom sports.

I'm watching in Lexington Ky

Cats are on next I hope...

They just said that the SEC tournament games have been suspended/delayed

 

[imported_weadjust]

If the power and lights had gone out in the GA Dome that could have been a really bad situation for the fans.

It is mandatory to post screen caps of Ashley Judd sightings for us not getting the game.
