Atlanta: 2 pouces de naige qui paralysent toute une ville!

Si à Québec les conditions routières lundi ont entraîné des retards pour le transport en commun et compliqué sérieusement les déplacements, ce n'est rien comparaison de la paralysie qui a touché les six millions d'habitants de la région d'Atlanta.

 "On Tuesday, snowfall of just over 2 inches shut down metropolitan Atlanta’s roads, schools, churches, government offices and businesses. Thousands of flights were cancelled at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. More than 2,000 school children were separated from their parents, and spent the night in buses, police stations, or classrooms. It seemed that the only places open were Waffle House and Home Depot, the former serving hash browns and coffee and the latter opening up its stores as makeshift shelters. People who didn’t camp out in supermarket aisles and hotel lobbies were trapped in cars for 10, 16, 20 hours as they tried to make commutes that normally take just 30 minutes"
