All over the world!! My boyfriend is from a third world country and cannot believe we have power outages b/c of so many above-ground power lines.

I can’t believe how many trees have fallen lately. In Medlock it’s like an epidemic.

For all the grief they take, Georgia Power has always been excellent in responding to situations like that, putting all available resources on it. Sometimes, like ice storms, they’re stretched thin, but that do as well as they possible can.

Did anyone try North Ave to Oakdale to McLendon to Ridgecrest to Howard? That’s my much preferred alternate.

I can confirm that! I was in it. Made my way via Clifton over to McLendon, then Ridgecrest to East Lake to Parkwood to Upland to W. Poncein order to avoid the gridlock. Worked pretty well.
