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."
