I lived in Marietta and worked in Atlanta from 1980 - 1984. In 1982 there was a storm that dumped 3” of snow on the city & I-75. We got 300 stranded people into the hospital I worked at. Good thing we had a generator because the NW section of ATL lost power. We took care of 150 patients, 300 visitors, and about 250 staff for a couple of days.
