Caption

At 9:38 p.m. on March 14, 2008, a severe thunderstorm that formed just north of Atlanta caused damages across a 6-mile swath of the city as it strengthened into a tornado, barely missing the downtown Georgia Dome arena where thousands were watching a college basketball game that had gone into overtime.
