I read on CNN.com that I-75 was shutdown from Valdosta, GA to Lake City, FL. I'm in Atlanta tonight. I'll be leaving here by 10am tomorrow morning. Does anyone have an idea on the best route to get to Orlando tomorrow that avoids the mess without having to drive to I-95?

I75 South below Macon to Tifton. IF you can make it to Valadosta, take US84 West to Thomasville.
US 319 SW to Thomasville.
US 19 South - US27 South
a) You should be able to pick up I75 at Ocala.
b) Continue south to US98 and the take that East to FL50 to Orlando
This way you are a good 20-30 miles west of I75.

That's too far out of the way. Take 84w to Quitman then 221S to I-10 (exit 241). 221 is a good road. 2 lane, 55-65 MPH, usually not much traffic. 53S through Madison to I 10 (exit 258) might work as well but I'm not familiar with that road. Then east on I 10 to 90E right before Live Oak (exit 275). 90E goes into I 75 just south of the blocked area (exit 427 on I 10).
