Perfectly captures the apocalyptic atmosphere! Cool!

The sunset, the public announcement sound, empty streets, abandoned bus & cars! Book of Eli, winter edition.

@arsenicqueen69 haha, "podunk Michigan?" Metropolitan Detroit has over 6 million residents. I wouldn't exactly call the "podunk." But then again you are a fellow Chicagoan, you think you're better than everyone else. Exactly why I moved.

Damn, the apocalyptic comment you made in the video is right. That's crazy. Seemed like sometime of scary movie.

@daveswagon hahaahha well played. Yeah no shit, this is a major metropolis, not a backwater town of 15,000. Detroit has now fallen into the latter category btw

@skeemo13- This wasn't even just Chicago ,it went all the way through the Chicagoland area. People in my neighborhood couldn't even get out of driveways until they plowed our streets, which they didn't do until the next day at around 12 p.m. They made a perfectly rational decision to allow people to get home quickly, and they did the best they could. Don't talk about podunk Michigan.

@skeemo13 Hey Moron...comparing Chicago's response to some tiny burg in Michigan is utterly idiotic.
