Atlanta Weather Troubles and what to avoid and stay warm.
The roadways were troublesome for many commuters on Tuesday.
By Andria Simmons
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The winter storm that hit the metro Atlanta area on Tuesday left countless drivers stranded in their vehicles for hours. Some are still there.
The storm prompted Gov. Nathan Deal to declare a state of emergency for all 159 counties.
Here is what you should do if you are stuck in your car during a storm:
1. Stay inside your car, unless you see a building right near you.
2. Run your engine intermittently and keep a window cracked to avoid excess carbon monoxide.
3. Keep your seatbelt on. Even if you have pulled over and stopped, your car could still get hit by another vehicle. You don’t want to take the chance of being seriously injured should this happen.
4. Try to do a little exercise, stretch your arms and legs and move around a bit from time to time. This will help you stay warm. However, don’t overexert yourself.
5. Stay hydrated.
6. Keep the overhead light in your vehicle on, that way others (including rescuers) can see you.
