OK, so I brave a tad bit of bad weather down here in the south to go up to my parents house an hour north. We left early to get up there for the 6:30pm tip off of the Alabama/Mississippi State game.
We hit some nasty stop and go traffic on the interstate and our hour drive turned into two hours. We made it just in time for tip off.
Great game, Alabama almost won. (we weren’t expected to win, in fact we were a nice underdog really). During the game, a tornado ripped through Downtown Atlanta where this game was being played in Georgia Dome. The game was delayed 1 hour and 4 minutes. When they resumed it was 2 minutes into overtime. Down by 2 with 2 seconds on the clock, Bama shot up a 3 pointer to win and it rimmed out. Bummer. If you sit back and think though… What if Alabama had not sent the game into overtime. Where would the fans in the Georgia Dome be 5 minutes later when the tornado hit the Downtown area? Scary really.
So, we go to bed… 4am, my wife wakes me up and it sounded like we were in a warzone. (can’t believe I would have slept through it). A big HAIL STORM came through the part of Birmingham my parents live in. Check out these pictures… WOW!
Nasty huh? I am so, so thankful that my car didn’t have any damage. I can’t believe it really.
