Today's traffic is epically bad. A bad storm front rolled through Atlanta before dawn, and we lost power. The sound of various UPSs beeping woke us up, so Tom went ahead and showered. He left the house at 7:30. All of the alternate routes he could take to work were blocked by downed trees or power lines. 2 hours later, he's still trying to get to the office. It's a 15 mile drive between here and his office in the Cumberland/Marietta area.
I used to work in the office building he works in now. Once a year or so, weather conditions or some random freak coincidence would make traffic horrifically bad. One day, a truck full of frozen pork jack-knifing on I-75 turned my 45 minute commute into a 2.5 hour horrorshow. One coworker had his 20 mile commute take 4 hours that day. Gah!
