But we also experienced a freak tornado that hit the city on March 14. As a result many windows were blown out of downtown skyscrapers.<br /><br />Earlier this year I posted a photo of the Westin Peachtree Hotel taken from John Howell Park in Virginia-Highland at 10:15 a.m. on March 24, 2007. Exactly 365 days later I returned to that spot at the same time of day to snap a photo from practically the same angle. You can see the damage, as well as other subtle differences in the scene. All in all, after a long drought and a tornado, Atlanta was looking a little worse for the wear at the start of Spring 2008.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" >March 23, 2008 at 10:11 a.m. EDT.</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-M70WvKuSEw/SIpxi0cMyOI/AAAAAAAAABY/Fr6t-J7zyrM/s1600-h/100_2180.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-M70WvKuSEw/SIpxi0cMyOI/AAAAAAAAABY/Fr6t-J7zyrM/s320/100_2180.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227115160523294946" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3909737229606140948-3415159494820114211?l=meridethvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14283358186648364109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909737229606140948.post-7543651014152000672008-03-11T16:13:00.001-07:002008-12-08T23:27:44.324-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-M70WvKuSEw/R9cSQSn_4OI/AAAAAAAAABQ/VH4vi22XC5w/s1600-h/100_0860.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-M70WvKuSEw/R9cSQSn_4OI/AAAAAAAAABQ/VH4vi22XC5w/s320/100_0860.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176626367772483810" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3909737229606140948-754365101415200067?l=meridethvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14283358186648364109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909737229606140948.post-46427047279507179682008-03-10T19:43:00.001-07:002008-12-08T23:27:44.542-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0awBS9LDxak/R9Xx6a6YZQI/AAAAAAAAAFU/AIXbUP81VBU/s1600-h/picture-39.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0awBS9LDxak/R9Xx6a6YZQI/AAAAAAAAAFU/AIXbUP81VBU/s200/picture-39.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176309332691150082" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3909737229606140948-4642704727950717968?l=meridethvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>John Meridethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11113543531982188420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909737229606140948.post-59433071757284793652008-03-10T19:38:00.001-07:002008-12-08T23:27:44.756-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0awBS9LDxak/R9Xxaq6YZPI/AAAAAAAAAFM/svtVVUVSOvA/s1600-h/IMG_0043.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0awBS9LDxak/R9Xxaq6YZPI/AAAAAAAAAFM/svtVVUVSOvA/s200/IMG_0043.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176308787230303474" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3909737229606140948-5943307175728479365?l=meridethvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>John Meridethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11113543531982188420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909737229606140948.post-92165744162321839972008-03-01T07:51:00.001-08:002008-12-08T23:27:44.889-08:00<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Nebraska State Capitol, May 7, 2005.</span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-M70WvKuSEw/R8l7xUPmC6I/AAAAAAAAABI/F1fJzFTQw84/s1600-h/200_3105.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-M70WvKuSEw/R8l7xUPmC6I/AAAAAAAAABI/F1fJzFTQw84/s320/200_3105.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172801734189648802" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3909737229606140948-9216574416232183997?l=meridethvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14283358186648364109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909737229606140948.post-13650236018752852472008-02-12T15:53:00.000-08:002008-12-08T23:27:44.976-08:00<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;">St. Paul, Minn., January 31, 2007.
