    Default tornado vs. my neighborhood

    seriously...several houses in my neighborhood in buford(30min NE of atl) have been completely leveled.

    Luckily my house is fine expcept our gutters got ripped apart. But of my my neighbos houses...wow. I'ved never seen a house just smashed to bits like that. I'll take and post some pics tomorrow. Good news though, I think most of the damaged houses were empty and don't think anyone was seriously hurt.

    I mean how much would it suck to be chillin at the house in your pj's, eating some cereal or taknig a shit, then to have your roof fall on your ass. DAMN!

    here's a few pics i edited quick on my laptop...

    Daaaaaaaaaaaaaang.. good shots, and glad no one was hurt! My wife sent me the link to a report on the tornadoes in Gwinnett literally 10 mins after they happened.

    Thank the stars it wasn't any further into Lawrenceville.

    A neighborhood is torn apart and several people have lost their homes.....yet people give too much of a shit about the quality of the pics.

    Sucks for those families. Hopefully nobody was hurt and can get their homes back the way they were.

    Change your tampon and STFU. He was giving credit as any newspaper or news organization would, they like good pictures and the OP could possibly sell them to his local paper.

    That's what happens when Americans decided to build their houses out of paper material.

    Yea that was close, considering Im less that 3 miles away. RL, might need to look into getting a new roof out of this deal, never know actual damage to the structure.

    Tornadoes are the worst. I've been on the beach during a hurricane, its nothing compared to worrying about a tornado since theyre so unpredictable.
