I took a tour of the parts of Downtown Atlanta impacted by the F2 tornado that struck the area last Friday evening and while a lot of progress has been made, there is still a long ways to go in the cleanup process. For instance, I had to use a side entrance to access Thrive, a Downtown Atlanta restaurant because the potential for falling glass made the main entrance hazardous. Several major streets are still closed due to the threat of falling glass.
