CNY Eve Tornado
Aiyo... just woke, was singing and happy till i checked my mail...
Good morning { what the heck, good morning? you kidding me? }
Powerful  thunderstorms  are  heading  towards  north  Georgia  and  metro  
Atlanta  this  morning  and  afternoon.  A  tornado  watch  has  been  issued  
for  the  metro  area  and  will  be  in  effect  until  2  p.m. 
The  storms  have  already  killed  at  least  11  people  in  Arkansas,  13  in  
Tennessee  and  three  in  Kentucky.  The  severe  storms  damaged  buildings  
at  Union  University  in  Jackson  on  Tuesday  night,  injuring  16  people.  
Union  University  president  David  Dockery  said  one-third  of  the  campus  
was  either  damaged  or  destroyed.
If  a  tornado  warning  is  issued  for  the  Atlanta  area,  faculty,  staff,  
and  students  should  seek  shelter  in  the  basement  or  in  the  interior  
corridors,  stairways,  or  rooms  of  the  lowest  floor  of  the  building.  
If  time  does  not  permit,  you  should  move  to  the  bathroom  area  or  
closet  and  take  cover.  Stay  away  from  windows.  Individuals  should  
remain  inside  the  protected  areas  and  refrain  from  going  outside  to  
watch. {Easy pick, bathrooms thats where i feel safe..}
Faculty,  staff  and  students  can  (and  should)  sign  up  for  Weather  
Alerts.  To  subscribe,  send  an  e-mail  to  sympa@lists.gatech.edu  with  a  
subject  of  "subscribe  gtpd-weatheralerts-public"  (without  quotes).  
This  is  a  separate  system  than  the  Georgia  Tech  Emergency  
Notification  System  (GTENS);  it  is  unlikely  that  we  would  have  time  
to  send  out  a  GTENS  alert  during  a  sudden  and  threatening  weather  
situation  like  a  tornado.  What on earth... ><" wats the point as though all people in Tech carry something to check their mail all the time.. hmm ... do they? i don't but at least they got the automated call thing.. but this isn't really necessary mah... 
Emergency  preparedness  is  everyone's  responsibility,  and  we  
appreciate  your  assistance  in  being  part  of  the  solution.
Andy  Altizer
Director  of  Emergency  Preparedness

finally got some update
in case you want to know, gatech is the safest spot in the world.
1 or 2 years ago, there was this killa hurricane heading towards gatech, bila sampai tepi gatech, it miraculously made a detour around gatech, and then continue laying destruction along its way
Something to say?
