Here is a picture of the tornado damage in downtown Atlanta that I took from a nearby parking deck. All the white spots on the Equitable building and Georgia-Pacific building are windows that were lost. Note that you can see right through the glass elevator shaft on the side of the cylindrical Westin hotel. The dark spots on the Westin are windows that were lost. The police had to close large portions of surrounding streets on Wednesday due to falling glass. The townhouses and condominium tower in the foreground appear to be undamaged.

I have several telescopes, but none are semi-APO, APO, or in anyway valuable.

It looks like an Exocet missile hit the side of the Georgia Dome. Today, they had the whole gap covered with two huge tarps.
