Sunday marks the 10-year anniversary of what was arguably the worst winter weather Atlanta’s seen in generations.

When the storm hit harder than expected, it led to school systems and employers to releasing everyone early. The interstates quickly became impassible, and hundreds of motorists would spend the next few days stranded on the highway with limited resources.

The Georgia Emergency Management Agency worked around the clock to free them, says GEMA’s Lisa Rodriguez-Presley, who also shared her own experience at the time.
