Anyone see this? Suprised there were this many aircraft present... assuming they were airworthy, to begin with.

That airport is the hub of McLeod Hospital's helicopter fleet. It's the only trauma center still open in this part of the state

None of you young-ins have seen a storm of this magnitude that Atlanta had in 1973, I remember it like it was yesterday, it was not fun at all....Could this be another 1973 for Atl? We are way overdue for a monster like this..

Actually that sounds exactly like the storm last year. So yeah, I'll pass every time.

So far, only 15% of the board are killsjoys when it comes to freezing rain.  The rest of us at least like a bit of it.  And over 60% of us are okay with the Armageddon scenario of no power for a week.  That's the adventurous spirit I was hoping to find here amongst my SE brethren. 

 

BTW, we need a freezing rain emoticon of some sort.

One year ago today I was in my third of 6 days without power.  Screw that.  Hard.
