    Yes, traffic was absolutely disgusting today. Usually, it takes me about 35 to 40 minutes to get to work in the morning. It took me that long just to get to 400, then another 30 or so minutes to get to work.

    I was hoping to see an accident or a downed tree or something to justify it, but did not see anything.

    Took Me Almost 2 Hours To Get To Work This Morning. I Counted 1 Car In A Ditch, 2wrecks At Intersections And 5 Trees That Had Fallen In The Road. Also I Had To Turn Around And Go A Different Way Twice Do To Roads Blocked Off By Police. Atlanta Traffic Sucks

    Made it in to work in normal time even with a stoplight out. Glad I don't have to take interstates though!

    Typical Atlanta driver's thought process in the rain:

    "What is this? Water falling from the sky!!??!! OH MY GOD!!!! I guess I better drive 20 mph under the speed limit and not check my mirrors anymore."

    Do they ever check mirrors? And then there are the people who pretend like its not raining and do 30 mph over the speed limit in the rain. I missed most of the gridlock, but it still doubled my commute time...

    yeah, today was terrible. even for the rain it shouldn't be this bad.

    Oh, and on a side note, I passed a brand new lambo on the way in.

    the massive puddles were fun in the S, drifto in a parking lot. For driving to work though it sucked.
