Metro-Atlanta, Ga. 2011 Snow Storm Shuts Down Entire City Including Douglasville Which is Still Recovering from 2009 Flood-storm

On the night of January 09, 2011 the entire Metro-Atlanta, Ga., including the Douglasville area was swept across with up to 4-6 inches of unusual snow and ice leaving this beautiful world-wide known southern USA city completely crippled. At 11:00 p.m. Peachtree St. and Five Points in downtown Atlanta looked like a deserted "ghost' town" as shown on the local TV news.

The local Interstates were jammed-packed with motor vehicle accidents with negligent motorist apparently trying to get home not paying any attention to the warnings of this phenomenal southern January snow storm.

Just recently, two weeks ago on Christmas day, December 25, 2011. Metro-Atlanta residents enjoyed the pleasure of a "White Christmas" for the first time in 128 years since 1882. On that particular day receiving 2-3 inches of beautiful snowfall, which made driving conditions some-what hazardous the next day on the 26th, but nothing like this approx. two weeks later, which began around 7:00 p.m. on Sunday night January 09, 2011, coming in from the east-side of Alabama USA, because the earth turns to the west, with it's also fast jet-stream effect.

Ironically? Atlanta residents had an over 36 hour warning period as noted by The Weather Channel and national news to please stay off the roads of the night after 7:00 p.m. on January 09, 2011. However? some drivers seem to be stubborn to take notice of this unusual Atlanta, Ga. weather notice, thus still driving on Interstates I-75, I-85 in downtown Atlanta, Ga. and it's surrounding circle Interstate called I-285, creating more automobile accidents and making things more complicated for Ga. DOT workers trying to do their jobs.

Metro-Atlanta surrounding cities like Douglasville, Ga. located on the west-side of Atlanta, are still contemplating this strange and unusual weather for the past two years. Especially the highest rated September 20-21, 2009 incredible rain-flood-storm, which Carrol County and Douglas County received a remarkable rains of 18 inches within a 24 hour period.

Modern day scientist, meteorologist, and geologist are "all trying to figure out" exactly what happened regarding this much rain in Atlanta, Ga.?.........................................

The Weather Channel here in Atlanta, Ga. stated this was the first time in over 500 years that this region of North America had received this much rain-fall in a 24 hour period, creating more tragedy for Atlanta residents. because so many business' were lost in this 2009 flood-storm including nine drownings around this particular metro-Atlanta location and even more the "uncanny and strange Douglasville, Ga. train derailment" which occurred last week on January 04, 2011 at 1:00 a.m. that morning.

Unfortunately? Motorist here in Atlanta Ga. still continued to drive in these hazardous conditions on the night of January 09, 2011, especially on the local Interstates called I-75 and I-85, which runs through downtown Atlanta, Ga. creating even more hazards for 18- wheeler truck drivers trying to deliver goods and merchandise for Ga. residents, carefully avoiding these stranded automobiles, and even ironic motorist walking down the Interstate streets after abandoning their vehicles.

Expert Atlanta DOT workers stated that the number one reason of these vehicle accidents was because these smaller vehicles did not heed the warnings of the weather authorities 36 hours before. Apparently thinking that they could drive in these hazardous conditions, all through the night of Sunday and Monday morning hours, because they are "so-called experts in these hazardous snow and ice driving conditions from living up north?"

Horribly creating more hazardous icy driving conditions here in Metro-Atlanta, Ga. All Atlanta schools have been closed pending further weather news updates, and local business' have closed because of this southern winter-storm of January 2011 since the year of 1973, based on this ice-storm which caused so many Atlanta residents to lose electrical power of their homes for nearly a week.

By the time of the afternoon 3:00 p.m. January 10, 2011. The east-side of the circle Atlanta Interstate called I-285 had been closed because of Big 18 wheeler trucks had slammed into one another trying simply to avoid these smaller vehicles as shown on the local news stations of 11alive, and channel 5 news team.

Fortunately, the Atlanta eleven alive news team kept local residents hourly informed regarding harmful events of where and when with their 24 hour help telephone line. Local news programs tried their best to keep Atlanta residents informed with regards to regular programming.

At the present time. Local Ga. DOT authorities and weather experts are concerned about the temperature gradually dropping here in the next few nights........................................

Ga. Power/Cobb EMC and it's local affiliates in Alabama are ready to rescue any loss of electricity for Ga. residents. For the next few nights of Tuesday, Wednesday and possibly Thursday night icy temperatures are supposed to be in the teens, whereas the local news states "this could possibly be the worst yet coming regarding this 2011 storm based on icy road conditions".
