Our move in date was planned a few weeks out. We had Atlanta Peach Movers who we highly recommend. They were great guys and ALL about getting us moved in and our boxes in the right spot. Day of moving we knew there was a possibility of rain, thunderstorms, but not the apocalyptic weather that was to come.

We were worn out by the end of the day and had nothing left to give. Right after the last box had been moved the rain started trickling down, just one of the many moments to come. After settling in for the night the rain had gotten a little worse. We got a call from our friend Erin who called to ask if she could come over and get in our basement. She obviously was watching the weather and could see the worst was yet to come. She got to our house probably 5 minutes later and as she got out of her car the hail storm started.

Needless to say, if you live in Atlanta you know how the rest of the weekend had gone – heavy thunderstorms, tornadoes and a massive amount of damage to the inner city. You can read more about it here at CNN. A few days before we moved we had had major problems with Comcast – to ridiculous to mention – so we had no television service the entire weekend. We couldn’t tune in to even to check in periodically. 

As you can imagine we didn’t get any sleep that night as the lightning was so frequent it made our bedroom look like a light show at Studio 54. We probably should have just stayed up and danced.
