I know. It's crazy. We had students spending the night in school and people sleeping in their cars or just abandoning them. I can't blame them. Huge disaster situation.
I think the situation was over exaggareted. At least where I live, South Alabama, which was suppose to get hit the hardest. It is cold, but very little snow. Also, the power company was on its game - only lost it for a few hours. Kudos to them.
