Crazy photos and videos out of Atlanta this morning... after severe storms hit Friday night around 9:40 PM - a possible tornado ripped through downtown, shattering windows in high rises, damaging sports arenas, collapsing a building, and uprooting trees, power poles and streetlights. CNN (who oughta know because their world headquarters was hit!) says 30 people were injured and parts of downtown looked like "a warzone."

WE NEED YOUR PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND STORIES FROM THIS STORM!

Photos from the Associated Press below - video and radar shots coming soon.. there is no statement yet from the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, Georgia, other than the initial tornado reports (1 & 2). If a tornado is confirmed, it would be the first in Atlanta in about 50 years, according to the media.

The worst part is, more storms are coming, and there is a MODERATE RISK of severe weather for the city today. Stay tuned today for additional commentary and interactive video as the storms approach.

The radar at 9:30 AM showed heavy storms crossing middle Tennessee and northern Alabama.
