An army of emergency crews were gearing up for battle Wednesday with a vicious and rare ice storm in Georgia that had already cut off power for thousands of customers and left the streets of Atlanta looking like a sci-fi wasteland.

Record cold in the south. Never seen the likes down here like it is now. Record NO rain, snow, etc. in the west. The NE is freezing with cold marks like the outer planets. No, God is telling us He is judging us, and still we do not listen. It is only going to get worse. Wait till the record fires start in the west this record breaking summer. Seattle into the 90-100s. Just wait. More is coming. God is punishing an unbelieving nation, again. Will America wake up and listen and repent. Probably not.
I always pull for the Yankees. It’s a baseball kind of thing. I like Atlanta too. Guess, I’m simply going in two directions at once. May the Yankees revolt and vote out their evil roots. Opps, I did not mean to start another war. Forget all that, Yankees ... {{HUGS}} to the pin stripes ... Those pin stripes remind me of jail attire.
bob, would you mind if we pack this storm up and send your way? We are not used to the cold down here.
Climate Change isn’t scary enough. It’s not working for them. Look for them to change it to Climate Disaster or Climate Crisis.
Pesonally, I think they’re SCREWING around with the weather to make their global crap come true or scare us into submission.
