Northern Atlanta counties were in a winter storm watch on Monday, it went down to a winter weather advisory late Monday night, then became a winter weather warning about 3:30 am on Tuesday. The mayor and governor are saying it was not expected, but when a winter warning issued you should expect the worse and they messed up. The schools in the northern counties should have been cancelled at that point as well so they messed up.

Left Cahaba Heights on a rescue mission to get my bro-in-law from the Colonnade. Took Acton Rd to Rocky Ridge and Overton Rd back to the house. Only slipped a couple of times in the 4WD. fricking abandoned cars everywhere.

I think Atlanta had enough notice and is now playing the blame game. Birmingham however, was at the mercy of meteorologist who ultimately are not God and bad miscalculated where the storm would hit.

This situation did make me question whether there is an evacuation plan for the city, state ect because essentially that was what we saw yesterday, a mass evacuation
