Stuck in traffic
January 28, 2014
The tied up traffic on the Atlanta's way home had thousands sitting in the lanes for hours. Some residents of the city's snow and cold outbreak were more than eight to 10 hours finding their way home, or just getting to a normal half-hour location. Traffic came to stand still and was on gridlock as drivers couldn't go anywhere fast. Many abandoned cars and tracked on foot, and others just stay in their cars until some kind of help arrived. There wasn't any stopping accidents either as it was reported that the first hour of inclement weather one thousand accidents occurred. Many schools were shelters for children overnight as parents couldn't make way to pick them up, and some school buses took all night until the next morning to drop their precious cargo of kids.
Since this was only a beginning of sorrows, each person had their own traffic and snow, or cold nightmare to tell. They are many as the city wasn't expecting a breakdown in traffic from the snow storm that left them unexpected and totally caught off guard. Some people criticized the city, other criticized the unexperienced of drivers. Pointing fingers however, would only lead to a chilly find as they were still told to stay off the roadways and remain at home. Atlanta was one of main cities showing traffic woes, but Jackson, Mississippi and other cities and towns in Georgia were matched with accidents, pileups and even there was one story a fatality were a man froze to death in an attempt to walk home. Cars slipped and skidded everyplace there were streets and roads.
A woman gave birth in her car... did you hear that? I'm not sure how true but it would have been enough to put me in labor even if I wasn't pregnant. LoL
