How Will Idalia Affect Atlanta |
Atlanta: The Reluctant Partygoer
Let's be honest, Atlanta is more of a "Netflix and chill" kind of city. We prefer our drama served with popcorn, not wind and rain. But, alas, Idalia has other plans.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
The Forecast: It’s like trying to predict the next episode of your favorite reality show. The general consensus is: rain, wind, and a whole lot of drama for our southern neighbors. As for Atlanta? We might get a sprinkle or two, maybe a gusty wind to mess up your hair. It's like that one friend who always shows up to the party with a bag of chips and dips, hoping to be invited to the after-party.
