I had a short night of sleep before my meeting in downtown Atlanta. As you can see from the picture, there is still a lot of damage to be fixed from the tornado that ran through downtown Atlanta last week. All of those white spaces on the building are places where the windows broke from the pressure. I can't imagine how much glass was on the sidewalks in the aftermath, I'm glad it happened at night! After my meeting I headed straight back to Atlanta airport to hop another flight to Tulsa by way of Houston. Atlanta airport is huge -- I would definitely give yourself enough time to get through security, hop on the tram, and then walk the distance to your gate. I had a little bit of a flight scare for the first time ever. As we began our descent into Houston, the panel next to me started vibrating like crazy. Everybody around me looked over, including the flight attendant who promptly headed toward the cockpit without saying a word. I gotta say that I was pretty zen about the whole thing though. I figured there was nothing I could do so I just tried to ignore it, haha. The guy next to me thought it might have been an engine thing because our row was aligned with the engine on the left wing but he asked the flight attendant as we left and he said it was an A/C pack issue, whatever that means. Anyway, I'm happy to say that I made it to Houston in one piece.

Wow, this blog is totally keeping me up to date with current events. i had no idea anything major went through the ATL. I'm so happy you weren't there for it, and that it happened at night.
I just wanted to take a moment to comment one of my experiences at the ATL airport. I needed to transfer between gates and didn't feel like taking the tram, so I proceeded to walk.
That was a great decision. In between two of the terminals was a fabulous art exhibit. When I was there, it was a beautiful collection of large African sculptures. I forget which countries were represented, but it was an unexpected treat, for sure.
You don't ever seem to have time to chill out Maddam Mile High Sigh, but for those who do, don't for get to take a stroll when you land in the ATL!
Sounds like it was a nice layover in Atlanta for you. I'll try to walk and get some exercise next time I'm not scrambling. And why are you staying anonymous? :)
