Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Atlanta Tornadoes on Flickr

By Abby at 12:34 am on Monday, March 17, 2008

I’ve done a search for you on Flickr to share with you the damage that was sustained during these tornadoes in downtown Atlanta. It’s really pretty mindblowing. This is something that just doesn’t happen in downtown Atlanta – at least it wasn’t supposed to.

Take a look: S L I D E S H O W

If you see any picture where you’d like more information, double click on the center of it, and you will see a description and a link to the picture page. There is some repetition in the pictures for two reasons. First, many people have uploaded pictures from media sources (the same picture uploaded many times). Second, there are many pictures of the same scene that are very similar to one another. Notice that you can speed up the rate pictures are shown to you at the bottom of the page.

This is a stunning set of images. I love that Flickr can do this for me: let me see what I couldn’t see from my home here in Raleigh.

Wow! Some of these are really stellar. It was some scary weather, I’ll tell you. We were glued to the radar as well. Glad we were spared, but sucks for downtown. I guess better that than a major residential area…

Stunning photos; horrible subject.

And now, a language musing: why is the phrase “damage sustained”? The damage wasn’t “sustained,” it was “created” or “caused” or something even stronger. Have these bland terms crept into our language because it’s easier than facing the reality?
