Governor says tornado damage to state property extensive

The weekend tornadoes did extensive damage to state property incluing the World Congress Center. A volleyball tournament expected to draw over 35,000 people this weekend had to be moved to other venues around Atlanta. Officials say they hope to re-open very soon. Governor Perdue says damage estimates are still coming in, though damage to state property is extensive

"It looks like from the state properties there is good insurance coverage," Perdue said. "The damage was extreme from one end of the state to the other and we're still trying to get those numbers together."

Perdue says there is a possibility that the current state budget could be affected once the final damage estmates come in.
