Hopefully this will cause the Georgia DOT, and other state DOTs for that matter, to re-think storing combustible materials under roadways, bridges, etc... :idiot2:

I used to work for a company that makes drainage tile.  About a year before I started working for them, they had a power line fall in the storage yard and started a fire.  The volunteer fire department was about 6 miles from the factory, and they could see the flames when the left the station.  It takes a lot to get that tile burning, but when it does, it burns hot.

I don't get it. Is it sports?

This really sucks for my family.  85 was bad before. 

Every pig path in Georgia goes through Atlanta.

Apparently MARTA is starting to feel some strain from people now trying to use public transportation instead of driving in/out of downtown

Does this mean MARTA will be profitable this year.
