Exciting Atlanta Weather!

What is the difference between a tornado and a "microburst"? A few weeks ago, I saw a trampoline in a tree. A full-size blue trampoline complete with the large yellow fence-like guard bent around/in a stand of trees about 20 feet in the air. It was there for a few days. I have no idea how they got it down (the trees are still there, but a little less straight). This was supposedly the result of a "microburst". Today, they are trying to figure out if it was a tornado or microburst that hit Atlanta (apparently this matters?) And, I heard a quote this morning that I NEVER thought I'd hear: "Meterologists are being called to the scene of the disaster." To do what, exactly???

More storms are coming...should be an interesting day. Due to the weather, Allison's first "Orange Tiger" soccer game and Julia's first "Attack" softball game have both been cancelled. Maybe next week we'll have more fun...
