Severe weather gives new meaning to March Madness

by Rich Carlson on March 15th, 2008

The SEC tournament in Atlanta was thrown into chaos on Friday night when a severe storm rolled through downtown Atlanta and damaged the Georgia Dome. The storm caused two big holes in the Georgia Dome roof and ripped off some of arena siding. No injuries were reported at the Georgia Dome.

The last game of the night between Georgia and Kentucky was postponed until Saturday morning. In order to complete all tournament games before the NCAA selection show Sunday afternoon, the winner of the Georgia/Kentucky game will play again on Saturday night in the semi-finals.

Playing two games in one day will be a herculean effort for either the Bulldogs or the Wildcats, and if either one of them manages to get through to the final game on Sunday, they will be at a severe disadvantage.

But, that’s why they call it March Madness…

Here is a video clip of the night’s events from ESPN:
