    Default Tornado in Atlanta

    MSU is up 64-61 with 2:11 in OT. Game is temporarily suspended due to a tornado.

    Pop quiz: what happens to bets if game is stopped now? (Closing line was MSU-5).

    will they resume game tomorrow if stopped for weather?

    Thats what they get for Alabama hitting a three with .02 seconds left to tie it up.

    But seriously, I think they would have to continue play tomorrow. Not sure though.

    Tornado warnings usually don't last that long (maybe 20/30 minutes). Game should resume shortly in my opinion.

    The dome has some wind damage, so they may end up suspending this one afterall.

    Georgia/Kentucky will have to be played tomorrow as well. With the Championship game being moved to Sunday. If indeed they suspend the games tonight.

    Default Tornado at SEC Tourney?

    Freight train sounds, roof was shaking, insulation was falling from stadium, and everything has been halted. They believe a tornado just went by the stadium.

    Default Georgia Dome roof partially torn apart

    By fierce winds and severe thunderstorm. Alabama game stopped. Debris on the floor. No injuries yet.

    What happens to our bets?

    I doubt an actual tornado went through. More than likely it was a micro-burst. We get those here every now and then.

    Not sure of those, because I don't get that type of weather. But that had to be a strong micro-burst. Things were shaking in the Dome with a lot of debris flying around.

    Game will resume soon. The storm has passed through. They need to clean some debris. When the storm passed through it caved in the fabric roof. The dome is not symmetric anymore and is sloping in. During the storm wind came in the Dome and insulation from the roof was flying through. The score board and camera cranes where swinging violently and they had to stop the game.
