Looks like an HDR (High Dynamic Range) pic. Gorgeous!

On topic, Team 190 had booked the Omni, and will be moving to either the Marriott or the Hilton.

170 in the south tower, 8 in the north, its just that they have closed the south tower to minimize disruption while getting everything repaired :cool:

Hmm, even the email I got from the Westin (copied from a Vistors Center Guy I think) said that Omni has 400+ rooms with some sort of damage.

there's definitely somethign fishy about the clouds. it's an amazing image, real or fake though.

Re: Omni Hotel Damage Update

We received word that the Omni cannot host any teams. 111 has been relocated to the Hyatt.
A friend I know who works at CNN said that they received only 5 minutes warning to vacate while she was on duty. After the tornado came through, the food court was reported to have 8 inches of water. With that kind of damage, problems with infrastructure is likely as well. There may be other problems besides damaged rooms. Something as simple as no laundry could keep a hotel from allowing occupancy.

We can't wait to rock out in Hotlanta!
