So, I-85 implodes at, inarguably, the absolute worst ****ing place it could have possibly imploded:

This location is about the most disgusting, road-rage-inducing, traffic-snarls on the freaking planet, on a good day.

Now?

ATL-bros, we straight ****ed, familam.

To make the day even weirder, this shit happened:

Unbelievable.

HH6 missed the epic snarling by the skin of her teeth.

Does this qualify as #Firemageddon?

Won't matter, it's a circle around ATL and will take you back to 75/85 regardless.

Check 285's traffic when you're about a half hour away and see what route to take.

Are we sure the fire caused the collapse and it wasn't some fat chick jumping up and down on the section of interstate?

This is Atlanta, brosef.

Obviously, someone was playing a mixtape, and tha beat was, literally, straight fire.

Them boys are thirsty in Atlanta, and there's beer in Texarkana, and we'll bring it back no matter what it takes!

Incorrect.

The new Mastodon album leaked a day early. It was too much for our puny roads to handle.

It all comes down to time of day.

My commute on both 20 and 285 today was no different than normal, but be warned that 285 is a shitshow every day from 0515-0900 and 1500-1900 even before this happened.

But if you stick to the West side of the city, it's been normal for me today.

Word on the screet is that I-75 is the Autobahn.

If anyone is south bound, hammer down.

No, I said fat chick. Not beached whale. One is capable of actually getting separation from the pavement when there is tasty incentive above, the other is firmly planted to terrafirma, though how firm terra is with them about can be questioned.

I would not use the term whale. Just from the smell, I doubt she has ever been near water.

Or soap.

Now, now, you ever been near a beached whale? Clean smelling isn't the phrase I would use. Old fish is more about what I would say.

Three bums arrested for trespassing, stealing and setting fire to the HDPE conduits stored underneath I-85.
