If I were in this situation, I would have just hopped the plane to ATL and dealt with it there. Knowing the next option isn't until the morning, it can be worth risking it. Even if the connecting flight is showing on time, chances are good that it too will be ensnared by the delays, and you would have a chance of making it. If not, you can always rebook onward in ATL.
