Tornado hits home of 360|Flex Atlanta

In case you haven't heard or seen, there was a tornado in Atlanta. CNN has some pictures of it here.

360Flex was there a mere few weeks ago. It's sad to see all the damage that's been done to the CNN Center and surrounding area. Luckily, our conference missed the tornado. More importantly though, it seems no one died because of the storm.

I have emails out to our speakers and staff from the area. Hopefully, they all come back good. I'll post updates here. If you were an attendee from ATL though, drop us a comment below and let us know you're alright.

The 360Flex community's hearts and thoughts go out to the folks in Atlanta. It was a definitely a nice host to our little conference.

Update 1:
Leif Wells, local Adobe User Group Manager and 360Flex Atlanta storage center, missed the storm as he's in Costa Rica.

Update 2:
Jesse Warden & Family are outta state as well, so they missed the storm. Jesse still has his gall bladder for a few more days too. :) He also may be the first person to deliver a 360Flex presentation post-show! Stay tuned for details.

Update 3:
Stats sustained only minor damage. The party goes on and the Guitar Hero/Rock Band shows still have a venue!

Update 4: John Mason (FusionLink) and Cameron Childress (who helped us plan) are also safe and sound.

Update 5: Hotel staff reports that there is damage to the hotel, but that no staff were injured at all.

All in all, though a scary event, all folks we know made it out okay! :)
