Weather delay? For a basketball game?
Yes. In the midst of the SEC Tournament quarterfinals -- Alabama and Mississippi State are in overtime -- a loud, piercing wind ripped through the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, the lightweight roof structure visibly rippled, and the support scaffolding for the central scoreboard began to sway.
Whistles blew. Players look up.
Debris fell onto the floor. And people began to clear the stands.
We're being told now on Sun Sports in the southeast region that play is expected to resume shortly now that Georgia Dome officials have completed an inspection and deemed the building structurally sound.
This has to be a first, right? An indoor sporting event delayed due to severe weather? Crazy.
