It doesn’t require much equipment. Just the sense to make the right calls and do something rather than sit on your ass.

There is something like 36,000 miles of roadway in Atlanta. So yea, probably a dozen trucks could have handled that.

Like I said, the logical and most economical thing to do would have bee to close the Interstates and major routes and wait 36 hours.

The major overpasses etc. are where you run the problems. You don't need to sand the whole roadway. I think Atlanta has more than a dozen trucks. Planning. We don't have hurricanes every day but we plan for them. Last one was about 8 years ago but we are still prepared. You could have some secondary roads open. ER etc. need to get around.
Cities never pay any price for being stupid. Just like the federal government.
Agree with you. Road closures should have been made. My point was this was all unnecessary. It was obvious there was no plan. Just like the idiot mayor of New Orleans in Katrina. Hundreds of buses sitting under water and not utilized although they were supposed to be used to evacuate people.

I cannot belief the racist remarks on this thread!

It is well known that George-Bush-Caused Global warming creates these like totally freak winter-weather anomalies in urban areas that have African-American mayors.
