Severe thunderstorm / possible tornado has apparently damaged the Georgia Dome and caused a stoppage in play with 2:21 left in OT. Teams were sent from the floor, although the coaches are starting to come back to the court.

Really freaking bizarre scene, Tim Brando mentioned clearly hearing a "freight train or locomotive sound" and is showing some of the pieces that hit the court, looked like a metal washer about the size of a silver dollar. The roof was swaying, the catwalks are still swaying, and there's obvious damage to a couple of the fabric panels along the side/at the top of the Dome.

edit to add: The hook echo is pretty clear on local weather radar right in that area.
