We're all fine and lucky. Thanks for asking. Our shop and most of volunteers live in the areas that were hit the hardest. Fortunately, no lives were lost in Atlanta. However, many of our neighbors lost their homes. We didn't open on Saturday, the day after, because everything was a mess, we didn't have power and the forecast showed another wave of bad nasty storms. We were back open on Sunday and I heard it was rather busy and very awesome.

Good to hear. I read this online:
"As they sort through the damage, several things mark this as an
extraordinary storm. Maybe not a huge one, but: an EF-2 tornado,
reportedly on the ground for up to six miles, tore through a city
center. It passed over two arenas with a combined 30 to 40 thousand
people inside, then over office buildings, restaurants, hotels, and
neighborhoods. No one died."
That is indeed extraordinary.
