I've recently been assigned to a lot of breaking news for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC). On these specific assignments, I hit the road blindly. I turn the radio on and listen for where the action is and then drive there.
On the first couple of images, I drove up Northside Parkway in Atlanta and looked for severe weather damage to photograph after several tornados hit the area. I parked my car on the side of the road and began making my way through neighborhoods that were hit the hardest.
Martha Jane Jones, 88, was kind enough to invite me in her home and show damage that hit her neighbors house.
Here are some images from severe storm coverage and general weather coverage over the last week.
