Practice coronavirus mitigation measures. Good afternoon. Head out to to survey the damage from hurricane delta. Before i left, i wanted to give you a brief statement, an overview of what we know. First of all, hurricane delta as forecasted made landfall last night near cleo, louisiana. Only about 12 miles east of where hurricane laura made landfall. It made landfall as a category two, and the forecast appears to have been quite accurate as it relates to the surge, the wind and rain. The highest rainfall totals were in lake charles, over 15 minutes in the last 48 hours. In baton rouge, they received over 10 inches of rain in the same time.

The conclusion of the savanna campaign had a couple questions questions,political which he did not want to deal with, and a couple of military, after it was agreed he would be permitted to move to the north and go straight into South Carolina. There were repercussions for that on the confederate side and the folks on the Southern Side would begin to react to that. Of course, even as sherman was leaving atlanta, there were folks on the confederate side that reacted to what was going on. One of them, something of an alert fellow, general beauregard, reacted and saw what was on the way. And of course, technology is always a curse in here. There we go.
