I think the 101 is the structure fire from a lightening strike.  Road is closed due to hoses being across the road.

Greatest tornadic threat at the moment is between 27 and 101 ... TV came back on. Police department - 3 miles NE of Cedartown are seeing several tornado touch downs, according to Atlanta news. Now passing just to the North of Rockmart heading up 101. Just on scanner now too.

Oh, everyone please be careful !!

I know you aren't crazy enough to be out in it.

They are reporting dime size hail in Cave Spring.

According to ATL news, the actual tornado is heading towards C'ville now.

Weather is not my forte', however ATL weather just said the V something confirms they are definite tornados.  Not confirming touch-down's yet.  But the "cell" is close to 411/Cartersville now.
