Tragedy In Atlanta!

One of the nation's busiest expressways was shutdown after major snowfall.

The southern playground is facing a snow emergency.

Atlanta, New Orleans, Birmingham, Montgomery, Charlotte, Columbia and Raleigh got a horrible taste of winter weather.

The migrants of the Midwest and Northeast wanted to escape to the South.

I guess they've brought their old ways down to the South.

Major snowfall happens to plague the South. And most Americans were caught off guard by it.

Georgia Republican governor Nathan Deal and Atlanta independent/Democratic mayor Kasim Reid taken heat for the lack of preparedness for this weather event.

Pictures of the major highway complex of Interstate 75/85 shows that the 12 lane expressway between Midtown and Downtown Atlanta a parking lot. It shows a bunch of cars parked in gridlock because the snow plows didn't come and the roads were extremely dangerous.

At least a number of people have died in the Polar Vortex event.
