The state highways also have loads of huge semi trucks which are passing through Atlanta, many of them jack-knifed on the icy roads and blocked lanes of traffic. There were over 2000 cars abandoned on the highways. And that is not a typo, over two thousand. Boy, I am telling you, I hope that we don't see the likes this again!<br />Oh, and I took all these photos except...the second one and the last one...I just noticed those are the best ones!
