This is a Neoscona crucifera (Hentz Orb-weaver) as far as I could figure out. I woke up to a huge web blocking my porch with this guy in the center. My apartment is on the third floor in The Old Forth Ward in Atlanta, GA. I search data bases for Georgia spiders and this is the closest match. I'll let him get rid of the annoying flies and Mosquitoes for a while!
