I am from that area. I lived there for 54 years. I've never saw anything like that happen before. We've had Ice and we've had snow, but never anything that shut down a federal highway.
Folks back home report that the spray they use on the roads couldn't be applied because of the rain preceding the dumping of snow. Therefore, there was no chemical to melt the snow and ice.
Folks also report that due to Covid, Flu, and Cold symptoms, almost half of VDOT was sick and out of work right before the storm. Perfect Storm of events, pardon the pun.
The governor and his ilk are a part of why I don't live there anymore.
Last thing, I checked Dominion Power this morning and the house I left in 2021 is without power today due to the storm.
Florida and TV ain't nowhere near perfect, but today, I'm really really glad I'm here!!!
