>>> 11ALIVE OBTAINED A COPY OF 
THE LATEST WHITE HOUSE 
CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE REPORT 
WHICH IS SUGGESTING THAT THE 
STATE IS MAKING GAINS IN 
FIGHTING THE VIRUS, BUT THERE'S 
STILL A LOT OF TROUBLE LOOMING. 
AMONG THE MANY RECOMMENDATIONS 
TO HELP OUT GEORGIA, A 
CONTINUED FOCUS ON TESTING. 
THE TASK FORCE SUGGESTED THAT 
WE NEED INCREASED SURVEILLANCE, 
PARTICULARLY ON COLLEGE 
CAMPUSES. 
ANOTHER KEY FOCUS IS INCREASING 
COMMUNITY-BASED TESTING 
LOCATIONS THAT ARE MORE 
ACCESSIBLE. 
HERE'S WHY. 
GEORGIA'S TESTING NUMBERS ARE 
FALLING. 
THOSE ARE THE BARS IN ORANGE. 
THE DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW OF 
PUBLIC HEALTH IS TELLING US 
THAT BECAUSE FEWER PEOPLE ARE 
REQUESTING TESTS, MORE TESTING 
FALLS THE LESS LIKELY WE ARE TO 
CATCH THE SPREAD OF 
COVID-19 AND QUARANTINE THOSE 
CARRYING THE VIRUS.

>>> WE'RE SEEING SOME RAIN MOVE 
INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA NOW 
RIGHT IN THROUGH FLOYD COUNTY, 
CATOOSA COUNTY, IN AND AROUND 
DALTON REPORTING LIGHTNING AND 
DOWNPOURS AND WE'RE SEEING 
QUITE A BIT OF LIGHTNING WITH 
THESE STORMS, SIX STRIKES IN 
THE PAST 15 MINUTES AS THIS 
KIND OF SMALL LINE MOVES IN. 
IT ALSO HAS A HISTORY OF 
PRODUCING 40 MILE-PER-HOUR 
WINDS. 
SO THINGS ARE GETTING A LITTLE 
GUSTY THERE TONIGHT IN THE 
DALTON AREA AND DOWN 75 WE GO 
AS WELL. 
ONCE WE GET ON THE SOUTH SIDE 
OF TOWN HERE IN MONROE COUNTY 
AND MOVING INTO BIBB COUNTY WE 
ALSO HAVE SOME THUNDERSTORMS 
PRODUCING QUITE A BIT OF 
LIGHTNING. 
THEY WERE PRODUCING ABOUT 16 
STRIKES IN 15 MINUTE. 
NOW WE'RE AT 12. 
SO MAYBE THAT'S SIGNS OF THE 
STORM STARTING TO LIGHTEN UP A 
LITTLE, BUT IT STILL LOOKS 
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING QUITE A 
BIT OF LIGHTNING TONIGHT. 
FOR THE MOST PART, THESE STORMS 
ARE VERY FEW AND FAR BETWEEN, 
BUT WHERE WE'RE SEEING THEM 
THESE STORMS ARE CAPABLE OF 
PRODUCING QUITE A BIT OF RAIN 
IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. 
SOME HEAVY DOWN POURS HERE. 
WE ARE IN THE SOUP, THE WARM 
SECTOR OF THIS SYSTE TROPICAL. 
SO ISOLATED STORMS LATE 
TONIGHT. 
WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER ROUND 
TUESDAY. 
THEN WE'LL DRY IT OUT AND WE'LL 
BE HEATING UP. 
COMING UP JUST HOW HIGH THOSE 
TEMPERATURES COULD GO.

>>> SHE LOST HER LAST ELECTION. 
SHE HOLDS NO POLITICAL OFFICE, 
BUT STACEY ABRAMS IS EMERGING 
AS A VERY IMPORTANT FIGURE IN 
THE RACE FOR THE U.S. SENATE ON 
THE REPUBLICAN SIDE. 
VIDEO THAT HAS NEWLY EMERGED ON 
SOCIAL MEDIA SHOWS U.S. SENATOR 
KELLY LOEFFLER EMBRACING ABRAMS 
IN 2018 BEFORE SENATOR LOEFFLER 
ENTERED POLITICS. 
HERE'S 11ALIVE'S DOUG RICHARDS 
TAKING A LOOK AT WHY MS. ABRAMS 
MATTERS. 
>> Reporter:  STACEY ABRAMS 
LOST HER RACE FOR GOVERNOR IN 
2018 AND SHE DECIDED AGAINST 
RUNNING FOR ANYTHING AT ALL IN 
2020, YET THE DEMOCRAT'S 
VISIBILITY STILL REMAINS HIGH 
THIS YEAR THANKS AT LEAST IN 
PART TO TWO AMBITIOUS 
REPUBLICANS. 
WHEN SHE RAN FOR GOVERNOR IN 
2018, STACEY ABRAMS MADE AN 
APPEARANCE ON THE COURT AT A 
WNBA GAME WITH ONE OF THE 
TEAM'S OWNERS, NOW U.S. SENATOR 
KELLY LOEFFLER. 
LOEFFLER IS SEEN RETURNING AN 
EMBRACE FROM ABRAMS AND 
APPLAUDING AFTERWARDS WHICH 
SPEAKS VOLUMES TO FELLOW 
REPUBLICAN DOUG COLLINS.

HUGGED.

COLLINS TRYING TO UNSEAT 
LOEFFLER IN A SPECIAL ELECTION 
IN NOVEMBER, BUT COLLINS HAS 
BEEN GETTING SOME OF THE SAME 
TREATMENT IN A TV AD PRODUCED 
BY LOEFFLER'S CAMPAIGN. 
VISUALLY IT'S BASED ON A PHOTO 
COLLINS AND ABRAMS TOOK 
TOGETHER OVER A DECADE AGO WHEN 
BOTH WERE IN THE GEORGIA 
LEGISLATURE. 
>> THAT'S TYPICAL POLITICIAN 
DOUG COINS. 
HE VOTED WITH STACEY ABRAMS 
OVER 300 TIMES. 
>> THERE'S A HOPE BY ATTACHING 
THEIR OPPONENT TO STACEY ABRAMS 
THEY CAN GIVE THE IMPRESSION 
THAT THEIR OPPONENT IS NOT 
SUFFICIENTLY REPUBLICAN, THAT 
PERHAPS THEY'RE TOO MODERATE. 
>> Reporter:  ABRAMS HERSELF IS 
ACTUALLY A FULL THROATED BACKER 
OF DEMOCRAT RAPHAEL WARNOCK WHO 
IS RUNNING AGAINST LOEFFLER AND 
COLLINS IN THE SPECIAL 
ELECTION. 
THERE ARE 18 OTHER CANDIDATES 
IN THE U.S. SENATE SPECIAL 
ELECTION IN ADDITION TO 
LOEFFLER, WARNOCK AND COLLINS, 
BUT THOSE THREE CANDIDATES SEEM 
TO HOPE THAT BY INTRODUCING 
STACEY ABRAMS' NAME INTO THE 
MIX, THEY WILL BRING TO 
UNDECIDED VOTERS MORE CLARITY 
AND NOT LESS.

KIND OF SMELL. 
IT JUST SMELLS LIKE 2020. 
>> Reporter:  SINCE LAST WEEK 
NEIGHBORS HAVE FLOODED SOCIAL 
MEDIA WITH POSTS ABOUT A FOUL 
SMELL IN THE FORSYTH COUNTY

UP TO MOTHER NATURE AND 
OFFICIALS TELL ME THERE'S ALSO 
BEEN REPORTS OF RESIDENTS

>>> COMING UP, AN 11-YEAR-OLD 
BOY SHOWS OFF HIS DRIVING 
SKILLS TO HELP SAVE HIS 
GRANDMOTHER. 
WE TALK TO HER ABOUT THE MOMENT

HER IN THE MERCEDES. 
>>> WE'RE STREAMING RIGHT NOW 
ON 
11ALIVE'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL. 
WE HAVE MORE 11ALIVE NEWS AND 
PRIME TIME RIGHT AFTER THE 
BREAK. 
>>> RIGHT NOW IN PEOPLE WHO 
HAVE BEEN OUT OF WORK OR HAD 
THEIR HOURS CUT SINCE THE 
BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC ARE 
FACING ANOTHER CHALLENGE. 
IT IS LOSING THEIR HOMES. 
ONE INDUSTRY ANALYST PREDICTS 
MORE THAN 350,000 GEORGIANS 
COULD FACE EVICTION IN THE NEXT 
FOUR MONTHS. 
THE C.A.R.E.S. 
ACT EVICTION PROTECTION ENDED 
LAST MONTH. 
THERE WAS A 30 DAY BUFFER. 
THAT ENDED LAST WEEK. 
WE TALKED WITH AN ATTORNEY 
ABOUT STEPS FAMILIES CAN TAKE 
TO TRY AND SAVE THEIR HOMES. 
>> OUR PHONES HAVE BEEN RINGING 
OFF THE HOOK. 
>> Reporter:  LEGAL AID SOCIETY 
ATTORNEY JOHN GAINEY SAID CALLS 
FOR HELP ARE NOT SLOWING DOWN. 
>> SEPTEMBER WILL BE THE WORST 
MONTH YET IN THIS PANDEMIC FOR 
EVICTION BECAUSE THE 
UNEMPLOYMENT EXPANDED BENEFITS 
ARE ENDING AND THIS MORATORIUM 
IS COMING TO A CLOSE. 
>> Reporter:  WHEN AN EVICTION 
NOTICE IS POSTED ON THE DOOR, 
THE CLOCK STARTS TICKING. 
>> YOU ONLY HAVE SEVEN DAYS TO 
RESPOND AND IF YOU DON'T 
RESPOND WITHIN THAT SEVENTH 
DAY, ON THE EIGHTH DAY THAT 
LANDLORD TECHNICALLY HAS THE 
AUTHORITY TO REMOVE A PERSON 
FROM THEIR HOME. 
>> Reporter:  SO RESPONDING ON 
TIME IS CRUCIAL. 
TO HELP WITH THE PROCESS, RIGHT 
AWAY YOU SHOULD CALL A LEGAL 
AID ATTORNEY GAINEY SAYS. 
>> OTHER POSSIBLE DEFENSES TO 
THE EVICTION, THAT COULD 
INCLUDE THEY VIOLATED THE 
C.A.R.E.S. 
ACT OR VIOLATED SOME OTHER 
NORMAL PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENT. 
>> Reporter:  GAINEY SAYS ALL 
EVICTIONS HAVE LONG TERM 
CONSEQUENCES LIKE KEEPING YOU 
FROM FINDING ANOTHER HOME. 
>> IF THEY SEE AN EVICTION WAS 
FILED AGAINST YOU AND A LARGE 
MONEY JUDGMENT, SAY THREE OR 
FOUR MONTHS OF RENT IS OWED, 
THEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE 
UNLIKELY TO RENT TO YOU. 
>> Reporter:  NOT TO MENTION, 
THE EFFECTS ON THE REST OF THE 
FAMILY. 
>> AN EVEN SPRINGS  
EVICTION CAN CAUSE CHILDREN TO 
MOVE SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THE YEAR. 
>> Reporter:  GAINEY SAID 
THERE'S NEVER A GOOD TIME TO BE 
HOMELESS, BUT NOW IS ONE OF THE 
WORST. 
>> FOR PEOPLE TO BE PUT OUT OF 
THEIR HOMES AT THIS TIME 
ESPECIALLY JUST SEEMS INHUMANE 
AND REALLY DANGEROUS. 
>> Reporter:  THE CITY OF 
ATLANTA HAD ITS OWN MORATORIUM 
ON RESIDENTIAL EVICTIONS DUE TO 
COVID-19. 
THAT ENDS TODAY. 
>>> WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME RAIN 
MOVING INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA. 
AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR ROME WAS 
REPORTING IN SOME LIGHT RAIN AS 
WELL AS SOME THUNDER. 
SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO SEE IT 
IN THIS SHOT. 
YOU CAN SEE HOW THE SKIES ARE 
RATHER CLOUDY AND EARLIER THEY 
WERE LOOKING VERY DARK INDEED. 
WE'VE HAD SOME IMPRESSIVE 
RAINFALL AMOUNTS THE LAST 24 
HOURS AFTER YESTERDAY EVENING'S 
STORMS THAT LINGERED INTO THE 
OVERNIGHT HOURS. 
DEBBIE BUCKLIN SAID HER RAIN 
GAUGE WAS THE FULLEST IT'S BEEN 
SINCE SHE HAS OWNED IT. 
THEY HAD OVER 3 INCHES OF RAIN. 
SHE'S ON THE EAST SIDE OF 
LAWRENCEVILLE. 
THANK YOU, DEBBIE, FOR POSTING 
THAT, ONE OF OUR 11ALIVE 
STORMTRACKERS. 
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE LINE 
MOVING INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA 
NOW. 
MOST OF IT'S WEAKENING AS IT 
MOVES IN. 
THERE'S STILL A LITTLE 
LIGHTNING HERE HOLDING TOGETHER 
IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA MOVING IN 
TOWARDS DALTON. 
WE DO HAVE A FEW STRIKES STILL 
THERE. 
THREE STRIKES IN THE PAST 15 
MINUTES AS WELL AS SOME HEAVY 
DOWNPOURS AS THIS SMALL LINE 
WORKS ITS WAY FROM THE 
NORTHWEST TO THE SOUTHEAST. 
SO THAT'S THE DIRECTION THESE 
ARE MOVING IN, SAME DIRECTION 
HERE DOWN ON THE SOUTH LINE AND 
THIS STORM HAS REALLY EXPANDED 
IN MONROE COUNTY MOVING INTO 
BIBB COUNTY, 19 STRIKES IN THE 
PAST 15 MINUTES SO THAT STORM 
LOOKS PRETTY FORMIDABLE MOVING 
OFF TO OUR SOUTHEAST RIGHT NOW. 
SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE SOME OF 
THESE ISOLATED STORMS HOLDING 
TOGETHER. 
HEADS UP IN BREEMAN AND HEARD 
COUNTY, STORMS MOVING IN FROM 
ALABAMA THAT MAY IMPACT YOU AS 
WELL. 
WE'RE IN THE WARM SECTOR, THE 
WARM FRONTAL SECTOR. 
SO IT'S HUMID AIR, DEW POINTS 
IN THE 70s AND WE STILL HAVE A 
CHANCE TO SEE MORE STORMS YET 
THIS EVENING AND INTO TOMORROW 
AS WELL. 
SO THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE 
STORMS WILL BE ON THE OTHER 
SIDE OF THE ALABAMA LINE 
TONIGHT. 
THAT'S THE GREENISH COLOR. 
THE DARKER GREEN COLOR IS A 
MARGINAL RISK WHERE ISOLATED 
SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE. 
THERE'S THE TROPICAL AIR OFF OF 
THE CAROLINA COAST WHERE WE 
HAVE OUR LATEST TROPICAL 
DEPRESSION. 
THIS IS TD 15. 
THAT IS OUR 15th TROPICAL 
DEPRESSION OF THE SEASON. 
SO WE ARE MORE THAN HALFWAY 
THROUGH THE LIST OF NAMES AND 
WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN HALFWAY 
TO HURRICANE SEASON YET. 
SO WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THAT 
COMING UP IN THE SECOND HALF 
HOUR OF THIS NEWSCAST. 
89 WAS OUR HIGH, 73 OUR LOW. 
WE SHOULD  BE AROUND 86 AND 69 
THIS YEAR. 
RIGHT NOW WE'RE FEELING PRETTY 
GOOD IN CARROLLTON WHERE WE'VE 
HAD RAIN, 78, 78 IN MARIETTA, 
84 IN DULUTH, 83 IN ATLANTA, 82 
IN LA GRANGE AND EATONTON. 
HEADING INTO THE EVENING HOURS, 
FOR THE MOST PART MOST OF US 
AREN'T GOING TO SEE RAIN, BUT 
WHERE WE SEE IT HEAVY DOWNPOURS 
OUT THERE, TEMPERATURES GETTING 
DOWN TO THE LOW 70s AND THEN 
TOMORROW HEATING UP TO AROUND 
90 DEGREES WITH A 40% CHANCE OF 
SHOWERS AND STORMS. 
THAT GIVES US A 6 ON OURS 
WIZOMETER ON THE SCALE OF 1 TO 
11 WITH 11 BEING A PERFECT DAY, 
A 6 WITH A 40% CHANCE OF 
SHOWERS AND STORMS THAT 
CONTINUES INTO TOMORROW 
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS WE 
HEAD THROUGH OUR TUESDAY. 
HERE'S WHAT WE'RE THINKING IN 
TERMS OF THE RAIN THAT COULD BE 
MOVING IN AS WE HEAD INTO THE 
OVERNIGHT HOURS. 
THERE'S HEAVIEST DOWNPOURS HERE 
WE THINK WILL BE IN NORTHWEST 
GEORGIA. 
THAT'S AN ISOLATED HEAVY 
DOWNPOUR THAT COULD HANG 
TOGETHER AS THEY MOVE WEST TO 
EAST ACROSS THE NORTH GEORGIA 
MOUNTAINS. 
THEN TOMORROW QUITE A FEW 
CLOUDS TO START. 
WE'LL SEE SOME SHOWERS POPPING 
UP AFTER LUNCHTIME AND HEAVIER 
DOWNPOURS, VERY ISOLATED IN 
NATURE THROUGHOUT THE EVENING 
AS WELL ONCE AGAIN AND THEN BY 
WEDNESDAY WE START TO DRY IT 
OUT A LITTLE BIT AND WE ONLY 
HAVE A FEW LITTLE SHOWERS 
SHOWING UP ON THE RADAR. 
SO A 40% CHANCE ON TUESDAY, 
TEMPERATURES NEAR 90 DEGREES. 
WE'LL BE IN THE LOW 90s 
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. 
WE'RE DRYING OUT, NO CHANCE OF 
RAIN IN THE FORECAST OFFICIALLY 
ON THURSDAY. 
WE'VE TAKEN IT OUT AND THEN A 
20% CHANCE BACK ON FRIDAY AND 
CHANCES GOING UP AS WE HEAD 
INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

SAVE HIS GRANDMOTHER'S LIFE AND 
IN A WAY HE WILL BE TELLING 
THIS THE REST OF HIS LIFE. 
WHEN SHE STARTED HAVING A 
HEALTH PROBLEM, T.J. 
GRABBED THE CAR KEYS AND DROVE 
HIS GRANDMOTHER TO SAFETY IN 
HER MERCEDES-BENZ. 
HERE'S KAITLYN ROSS WHO TALKED 
TO HIS GRANDMA ABOUT HER 
DRIVING GUARDIAN ANGEL.

HIS GRANDMA TOLD ME HE DOES 
WHATEVER HE SETS HIS MIND TO

EMERGENCY LAST WEEK, SHE HAD NO 
DOUBT P.J. 
WOULD COME TO HER RESCUE.

OUTSIDE. 
HE WAS WITH HER LAST WEEK WHEN 
SHE WAS WALKING ABOUT A MILE 
AND A HALF FROM HER HOUSE. 
>> ALWAYS RIDES EITHER HIS FOUR 
WHEELER OR GO-KART OR DIRT BIKE 
WHILE I'M TRYING TO GET SOME 
EXERCISE IN. 
>> Reporter:  SHE STARTED 
FEELING SHAKY, SEEING SPOTS IN 
MEASURE VISION, THE TELLTALE 
SIGNS HER BLOOD SUGAR WAS 
GETTING TOO LOW. 
>> HE NOTICED MY DEMEANOR. 
THAT'S WHEN I GUESS HE SPRUNG 
INTO ACTION. 
>> Reporter:  SHE SAYS P.J. 
TOOK OFF LIKE A SHOT WHILE SHE 
TRIED TO STEADY HERSELF IN THE 
ROAD. 
>> I WAS LEANING AGAINST THE 
STOP SIGN. 
ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOOKED TO MY 
RIGHT AND I SAW MY CAR, MY 
MERCEDES-BENZ, COMING TOWARDS 
ME. 
WAIT A MINUTE. 
LOOKED IN THE CAR. 
IT WAS HIM. 
IT WAS P.J. 
>> Reporter:  SHE WAS OUT OF 
IT, BUT EVEN DURING A MEDICAL 
EMERGENCY SHE COULD APPRECIATE 
HOW COOL AND COLLECTED HE WAS 
BEHIND THE WHEEL. 
>> AND THIS CHILD IS ONLY 11 
YEARS OLD AND DRIVES LIKE A 
PRO. 
>> Reporter:  SHE HAD TO TAKE A 
VIDEO OF HIS SKILLS AFTER SHE 
RECOVERED BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T 
BELIEVE HOW WELL HE HANDLED THE 
CAR. 
>> HE DID NOT GO OFF THE CURB, 
IN THE GRASS OR NOTHING, PULLED 
DOWN IN THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE 
GARAGE. 
>> Reporter:  HE RUSHED INSIDE 
AND GOT HER SOME GLUCOSE TABS 
AND A PACKAGE OF PEANUT BUTTER 
CRACKERS. 
THEN SHE ASKED HIM HOW HE JUST 
DID THAT. 
SHE SAID HER HUSBAND ASKED HIM 
TO MOVE CARS IN THE YARD BEFORE 
BUT NEVER IN THE STREET AND 
NEVER BY HIMSELF. 
SHE'S JUST SO THANKFUL HE WAS 
THERE. 
>> HE'S AN EXTRA SPECIAL 
ORDINARY LITTLE BOY AND HE 
DOESN'T ASK FOR NOTHING IN 
RETURN. 
>>> STILL TO COME, THE 
CONNECTION BETWEEN A NEW STUDY 
THAT IT MAKES BETWEEN DOCTORS 
AND 
>>> A NEW STUDY HIGHLIGHTING 
DISPARITIES IN HEALTHCARE AND 
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE KIND OF 
CARE BABIES RECEIVE RIGHT AFTER 
BIRTH, IT FOUND BLACK NEWBORNS 
ARE MORE LIKELY TO DIE DURING 
THEIR INITIAL STAY IN THE 
HOSPITAL THAN WHITE NEWBORNS. 
IT ALSO SHOWS THAT BLACK BABIES 
HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE FOR 
SURVIVAL IF THEY HAVE A BLACK 
DOCTOR. 
JENNIFER BELLAMY HAS MORE STUDY 
ON THE RESEARCH. 
>> Reporter:  IT WAS FOUND IN 
THE UNITED STATES BLACK 
NEWBORNS DIE AT A RATE THREE 
TIMES THAT OF WHITE NEWBORNS, 
BUT WHEN BLACK DOCTORS CARED 
FOR BLACK NEWBORNS, THE DEATH 
RATE WAS CUT IN HALF. 
THE STUDY LOOKED AT 1.8 MILLION 
HOSPITAL BIRTHS IN FLORIDA FROM 
1992 TO 2015. 
IT FOUND THE BIGGEST DROP IN 
BLACK NEWBORN DEATHS CAME AMONG 
COMPLEX BIRTHS AND AT HOSPITALS 
THAT DELIVER MORE BLACK BABIES. 
RESEARCHERS SAY THE RACE OF THE 
DOCTOR LOOKING AFTER WHITE 
BABIES DIDN'T MAKE MUCH 
DIFFERENCE IN THEIR CHANCES FOR 
SURVIVAL. 
A USA TODAY REVIEW OF THE STUDY 
SAYS IT DIDN'T GIVE AN EXACT 
REASON FOR WHY THIS HAPPENS, 
BUT IT DID IDENTIFY SOME 
STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT MAY BE 
FACTORS. 
ONE THEORY SUGGESTS BLACK WOMEN 
MAY BE LESS HEALTHY AND THUS AT 
A GREATER RISK FOR NEGATIVE 
OUTCOMES AS A RESULT OF THE 
COMBINED EFFECTS OF RACISM AND 
SOCIOECONOMIC DISADVANTAGES 
OVER THE COURSE OF THEIR LIVED. 
THAT INCLUDED LIMITED ACCESS TO 
HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION, 
FACTORS THAT ALSO PUT BLACKS AT 
A GREATER RISK FOR CONTRACTING 
COVID-19. 
ANOTHER SIMILAR ISSUE IS THE 
HIGH RATE OF  MATERNAL 
MORTALITY FOR MOTHERS OF COLOR 
WHO WERE TWO TO THREE TIMES 
MORE LIKELY TO DIE FROM 
PREGNANCY-RELATED CAUSES THAN 
WHITE WOMEN. 
>> THE NEW FINDINGS DON'T MEAN 
ONLY BLACK PHYSICIANS SHOULD 
CARE FOR BLACK PATIENTS, BUT IT 
SHOWS THAT ALL DOCTORS NEED 
BETTER TRAINING ON HOW TO TREAT 
PATIENTS OF COLOR AND THERE IS 
A NEED FOR MORE DIVERSITY 
WITHIN THE MEDICAL FIELD. 
OUR 11ALIVE INVESTIGATIVE TEAM 
DID AN AWARD WINNING SERIES ON 
BLACK MATERNAL MORTALITY AND

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME WARNINGS 
WHEN THESE STORMS WERE OVER 
NORTHERN ALABAMA. 
YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE STILL VERY 
ACTIVE OVER BIRMINGHAM RIGHT 
NOW. 
WE'LL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE 
ON THESE STORMS BECAUSE SOME OF 
THESE STORMS ARE HOLDING 
TOGETHER HERE AND YOU CAN SEE 
SOME OF THE DOWNPOURS OVER THE 
HORIZON. 
I STOLE THIS SHOT FROM OUR 
ATLANTA CAMERA THAT LOOKS UP 
OVER ABOVE TRUIST PARK WHERE 
YOU COULD SEE THESE DOWNPOURS 
AND YOU COULD SEE THESE 
THUNDERSTORMS JUST IN THE 
DISTANCE AT SUNSET. 
I WANTED TO FREEZE THAT BECAUSE 
I WASN'T SURE -- YEAH, WE CAN'T 
SEE IT AS WELL NOW THAT IT'S 
GETTING DARKER. 
YES, PRETTY IMPRESSIVE SEEING 
THOSE RAIN SHAFTS AT SUNSET IN 
THE DISTANCE OVER THE HORIZON. 
SO WE DO HAVE SOME OF THESE 
STORMS HOLDING TOGETHER LIKE 
THESE MOVING INTO DALTON PRETTY 
SOON, A LOT OF LIGHTNING NOW, 
12 STRIKES IN THE PAST 15 
MINUTES AND SOME VERY HEAVY 
RAIN, GUSTING WINDS WITH THIS 
THUNDERSTORM UP TO AROUND 40 
MILES PER HOUR. 
SO DALTON, I KNOW YOU WANT TO 
JUST KIND OF HANG TIGHT INSIDE 
FOR A WHILE UNTIL THAT STORM 
PASSES. 
ALSO HERE IN HEARD COUNTY WE'RE 
SEEING THUNDERSTORMS MOVING IN 
OUT OF ALABAMA SO WE'RE SEEING 
QUITE A FEW STRIKES OF 
LIGHTNING THERE AND THEN AS WE 
HEAD OVER INTO MONROE COUNTY 
AND INTO BIBB COUNTY NOW WE 
HAVE SOME THUNDERSTORMS THAT 
ARE HOLDING TOGETHER AS WELL, 
HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH THEM AND 
13 STRIKES OF LIGHTNING IN THE 
PAST 15 MINUTES. 
SO STILL A FAIRLY ACTIVE NIGHT 
IN SOME SPOTS. 
NOT EVERYONE WILL GET THE RAIN, 
BUT WHERE WE SEE IT THE AIR 
MASS IS SATURATED. 
SO WE'LL SEE SOME VERY HEAVY 
DOWNPOURS HERE. 
THE BEST THREAT FOR ANYTHING 
THAT COULD BE WARNED ON IS 
GOING TO BE PROBABLY WEST OF 
ATLANTA CLOSER TO WHERE THE 
MARGINAL RISK IS IN ALABAMA. 
COMING UP WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW 
THINGS WILL TIME OUT FOR THE 
REST OF THE NIGHT AND WHAT YOU 
CAN EXPECT ON YOUR TUESDAY. 
>>> COLLEGES IN THE U.S. KNEW 
THIS WOULD BE A DIFFICULT, 
TRYING YEAR TRYING TO SUPPRESS 
CORONAVIRUS CASES, BUT THERE 
HAVE ALREADY BEEN SOME 
OUTBREAKS AND SOME COMPLAINTS 
ABOUT SCHOOLS NOT SHARING 
ENOUGH INFORMATION.

IN SESSION CONTAINING COVID ON 
CAMPUS IS PROVING TO BE AN 
UPHILL CLIMB.

THAN DOUBLED IN THE PAST WEEK 
WITH 705 POSITIVE TESTS SINCE 
MARCH. 
THE SCHOOL IS URGING STUDENTS 
TO GET TESTED WEEKLY AT ONE OF 
FIVE FREE TESTING SITES ON 
CAMPUS. 
>> IF YOU SEE SOMEONE WHO IS 
PUTTING OTHERS AT RISK, PLEASE 
REPORT IT. 
>> Reporter:  ONE STATE OVER 
THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA IS 
ALSO SEEING A SPIKE WITH MORE 
THAN 1,000 CASES SINCE IN-
PERSON CLASSES STARTED LESS 
THAN TWO WEEKS AGO. 
LAST WEEK THE MAYOR OF 
TUSCALOOSA ORDERED ALL BARS IN 
THE CITY TEMPORARILY CLOSED. 
>> THE TRUTH IS THAT FALL IN 
TUSCALOOSA IS IN SERIOUS 
JEOPARDY. 
>> Reporter:  ARE STUDENTS 
TAKING IT SERIOUSLY NOW THAT 
THE CASES ARE GOING UP? 
>> I DEFINITELY THINK THEY'RE 
TAKING IT TAKE LOT MORE 
SERIOUSLY. 
I ALSO THINK THAT'S BECAUSE A 
LOT OF STUDENTS ARE SEEING 
PEOPLE THAT THEY ACTUALLY KNOW 
PERSONALLY CONTRACT THE VIRUS. 
>> Reporter:  IN A STATEMENT A 
SCHOOL OFFICIAL SAID THERE IS 
NO EVIDENCE OF VIRUS 
TRANSMISSION DUE TO IN-PERSON 
CLASS INSTRUCTION, BUT ACROSS 
THE COUNTRY SOME SCHOOLS ARE 
TEMPORARILY PULLING THE PLUG ON 
FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES. 
OUTBREAKS AT TEMPLE UNIVERSITY 
AND SUN Y ONEONTA PROMPTING 
BOTH SCHOOLS TO GO VIRTUAL FOR 
TWO WEEKS. 
AT UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA 
STUDENTS CAN GET A NOTIFICATION 
FOR POTENTIAL EXPOSURE THANKS 
TO AN APP CALLED COVID WATCH 
AND THE SCHOOL IS USING ANOTHER 
LESS CONVENTIONAL METHOD, 
ANALYZING SEWAGE. 
AFTER TESTING WASTEWATER FROM A 
DORM OFFICIALS WERE ABLE TO 
DETERMINE SOMEONE INSIDE WAS 
CARRYING THE VIRUS. 
>> WE TESTED ALL THE STUDENTS 
AND STAFF THAT WORK THERE IN 
LIKENS AND WE FOUND TWO 
POSITIVE CASES WHICH WE MOVED 
OVER TO ISOLATION. 
SO WE THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE 
A VERY VALUABLE TOOL TO HELP US 
GET OUT IN FRONT.

PORTRAITS OF MISSING LOVED ONES 
FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRIES. 
HERE'S SAVANNAH LEVINS WITH THE 
STORY. 
>> I LOST MY GRANDPA TO COVID-
19 IN MAY. 
MY GRANDPA WAS EVERYTHING TO 
ME. 
AND THEN KNOWING HOW HE PASSED 
AND NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE BEEN 
THERE WITH HIM, IT'S DEFINITELY 
SOMETHING THAT'S TAKEN A TOLL 
ON ALL OF US.

HANNAH ERNST LOST HER 
GRANDFATHER TO COVID, SHE FOUND

>> HE WAS AN ARTIST HIMSELF. 
SO I GOT A LOT OF HIS ARTISTIC 
ABILITIES, IF YOU WILL. 
>> Reporter:  SHE MADE THIS 
PORTRAIT OF HIM AND SHARED IT 
WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. 
>> SHE JUST PUT THE iPAD DOWN 
AND SAID, HERE, MOM. 
LOOK AT WHAT I DID OF GRANDPA 
AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY.

DECIDED SHE WANTED TO OFFER 
FREE DIGITAL PORTRAITS TO OTHER 
FAMILIES WHO LOST A LOVED ONE

>> Reporter:  IN LESS THAN 24 
HOURS HANNAH'S PROJECT WENT 
GLOBAL. 
>> I'M GETTING MESSAGES 
EXPONENTIALLY GREATER THAN I 
COULD HAVE EVER ANTICIPATED. 
IT'S DEFINITELY BITTERSWEET 
BECAUSE A LOT OF ME UNDERSTANDS 
HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO FAMILIES 
BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENTIATING A 
PERSON FROM THE SEA OF NUMBERS 
THAT WE'VE BECOME SO USED TO, 
BUT THE SAD PART OF IT IS THAT 
THERE'S JUST SO MANY AND THE 
IMPACT THAT THIS VIRUS HAS HAD 
ON SO MANY LIVES IS JUST 
INCREDIBLY UPSETTING. 
>> Reporter:  SHE CREATED A 
FACEBOOK PAGE, FACES OF COVID 
VICTIMS, TO SHARE HER PORTRAITS 
AND SNIPPETS ABOUT EACH 
PERSON'S LIFE. 
>> I'M TRYING TO PUT LIGHT TO 
THE FACT THAT THESE ARE 
LEGITIMATE PEOPLE AND NOT JUST 
NUMBERS THAT ARE INCREASING. 
>> Reporter:  SHE HOPES THE SEA 
OF FACES SERVES AS BOTH A 
MEMORIAL AND A MESSAGE. 
>> ALTHOUGH THESE NUMBERS ARE 
INCREASING AND THE MORTALITY IS 
LOW, I THINK SHOULD STILL HAVE 
THE COMPASSION WHERE WE HAD AT 
THE BEGINNING THAT THESE ARE 
LIVES AND LEGITIMATE FAMILIES 
RUINED AND I'M HOPING THE FACES 
I DRAW AND MEMORIALIZE HELP

HE FOUGHT PRIVATELY FOR FOUR 
YEARS EVEN AS HE PORTRAYED A 
LITANY OF ACTION HEROES, BLACK 
ACTION HEROES BOTH FICTIONAL 
AND REAL INCLUDING SEVERAL 
MOVIES THAT WERE SHOT HERE IN

AT JUST 43 YEARS OLD. 
ACTOR CHADWICK
BOSEMAN DIED AFTER A FOUR-YEAR 
FIGHT WITH COLON CANCER. 
CHADWICK WAS DIAGNOSED WITH 
STAGE THREE COLON CANCER IN 
2016 AND BATTLED WITH IT THESE 
LAST FOUR YEARS AS IT 
PROGRESSED TO STAGE FOUR. 
HE DIED IN HIS HOME WITH HIS 
WIFE AND FAMILY BY HIS SIDE. 
BOSEMAN NEVER SPOKE PUBLICLY 
ABOUT HIS PERSONAL BATTLE. 
HE SHOT SOME OF HIS MOST ICONIC 
FILMS WHILE UNDERGOING 
TREATMENT. 
FANS BELIEVE BOSEMAN HINTED AT 
HIS DIAGNOSIS IN A 2017 
INTERVIEW WHEN THE INTERVIEWER 
SAID, "YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH THE 
RINGER." 
"OH, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW," HE 
LAUGHS. 
"YOU HAVE NO IDEA. 
ONE DAY I'LL LIVE TO TELL THE 
STORY."

IT TAKES A SPECIAL PERSON TO BE 
ABLE TO WORK THROUGH IT.

IS.

AFFECTED BY THE SHOOTINGS AND 
CHAOS THE ISSUE IS MUCH BIGGER 
AND RUNS MUCH DEEPER THAN 
CONSERVATIVE OR LIBERAL 
POLITICS. 
>> WE'RE REALLY JUST SICK AND 
TIRED OF THE VIOLENCE. 
WE'RE TIRED OF IT. 
WE DON'T WANT TO SEE MORE OF 
IT. 
WE WANT TO SEE CHANGE. 
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT AND IF WE 
DON'T START RECOGNIZING WHAT 
THE REAL ISSUES ARE, IT'S GOING 
TO KEEP HAPPENING AND THAT'S 
UNACCEPTABLE. 
IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. 
>> Reporter:  AS UNFORTUNATELY 
THE ANGER AND VIOLENCE SEEMS TO 
BE GROWING. 
>>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOME 
MORE STORMS COMING OUT OF 
ALABAMA AT THIS HOUR. 
SO WE'LL BE WATCHING THOSE 
THROUGHOUT THE EVENING HOURS. 
I'M METEOROLOGIST SAMANTHA 
MOHR. 
WE'LL CONTINUE TO WATCH THESE 
AS THEY MOVE INTO NORTHWEST 
GEORGIA. 
THEY'VE BEEN MOVING IN THROUGH 
THE DALTON AREA FOR THE PAST 30 
MINUTES OR SO WITH A LOT OF 
LIGHTNING AND SOME HEAVY 
DOWNPOURS, STILL SEEING TEN 
STRIKES OF LIGHTNING IN THE 
PAST 15 MINUTES. 
THESE WILL CONTINUE WORKING 
THEIR WAY TOWARDS GILMER COUNTY 
IN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES OR SO. 
ALSO WE HAD SOME REALLY STRONG 
STORMS MOVING IN THROUGH 
RANDOLPH AND CLEBURNE COUNTIES. 
THESE MOVED INTO HEARD COUNTY 
AND NOW MOVING INTO COWETA WITH 
A LITTLE LIGHTNING BUT NOT AS 
STRONG AS THOSE STORMS WERE 
EARLIER IN ALABAMA. 
THEY DO APPEAR TO BE WEAKENING 
MOVING EAST. 
HEADS UP IN NEWNAN AND 
GRANTVILLE, YOU MAY SEE HEAVY 
DOWNPOURS IN THE NEXT FEW 
MINUTES, NOTHING SHOWING UP YET 
HERE AT THE COURTHOUSE IN 
COWETA COUNTY. 
THINGS LOOK CALM, BUT WE COULD 
SEE THAT ONE STORM HOLD 
TOGETHER WELL ENOUGH TO BRING 
IN A LITTLE RAIN, BUT THESE ARE 
PRETTY ISOLATED IN NATURE. 
THIS IS NOT A WIDESPREAD LINE 
AT THIS POINT. 
WE HAVE HAD THIS STORM EXPAND 
JUST SOUTH OF THOMASTON, SEEING 
A LOT OF LIGHTNING STRETCHING 
OVER TOWARDS MONROE COUNTY. 
THIS HAS BEEN A PARTICULARLY 
INTERESTING THUNDERSTORM 
TONIGHT, STILL SEEING 19 
STRIKES IN THE PAST 15 MINUTES, 
SO QUITE A BIT OF ELECTRICITY 
WITH THAT STORM. 
WE'RE IN THE WARM SECTOR HERE. 
IT IS HOT AND HUMID IN THIS 
SECTOR. 
SO PLENTY OF MOISTURE FOR WHICH 
STORMS CAN TAP INTO AND HEAVY 
DOWNPOURS CANNOT BE RULED OUT 
TONIGHT OR INTO TOMORROW AS 
WELL. 
THIS IS OUR WATER VAPOR 
SATELLITE IMAGERY. 
WHERE YOU SEE THE ORANGE ON THE 
MAP, THE AIR IS VERY MOIST. 
TROPICAL MOISTURE EXTENDS 
ACROSS THE SOUTH INTO THE 
ATLANTIC WHERE WE HAVE OUR 
NEWEST TROPICAL DEPRESSION. 
AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE FLEW 
INTO THIS AREA TODAY. 
WE WERE ANTICIPATING IT WOULD 
BE NAMED A DEPRESSION AND SURE 
ENOUGH, AT 5:00 THE NATIONAL 
HURRICANE CENTER DID NAME IT 
TROPICAL DEPRESSION 15. 
IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL PARALLEL 
THE COASTLINE. 
IT WILL STRENGTHEN INTO A 
TROPICAL STORM SOMETIME 
TOMORROW AND THEN WORK ITS WAY 
OUT INTO THE OPEN WATERS OF THE 
ATLANTIC. 
RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL 
NOT BE IMPACTING THE EAST 
COAST. 
WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OTHERS THAT 
ARE LINED UP HERE THAT WE'LL 
HAVE TO WATCH. 
THIS ONE THAT'S MOVING IN 
THROUGH THE CARIBBEAN NOW SOUTH 
OF PUERTO RICO HAS A 90% CHANCE 
OF DEVELOPING HERE. 
IT'S GOING TO BE MOVING OVER 
TOWARDS THE YUCATAN AS WE HEAD 
THROUGH THIS WEEK AND WE HAVE 
OUR LATEST EASTERLY WAVE COMING 
OFF THE COAST OF AFRICA. 
WE'LL HAVE TO WATCH THAT VERY 
CAREFULLY AS WELL HERE. 
SO THIS ONE, AN 80% CHANCE OF 
BEING NAMED TROPICAL DEPRESSION 
WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE DAYS. 
AT A 70% CHANCE WITHIN THE NEXT 
COUPLE OF DAYS. 
SO RIGHT NOW THAT TRACK IS 
TAKING US TOWARDS THE YUCATAN 
PENINSULA. 
WE'RE ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO 
THE M STORM HERE, OF COURSE, 
MARCO OUR LAST STORM ON THE 
LIST. 
LAURA WAS THE LAST ONE TO MAKE 
LANDFALL, BUT WE NOW HAVE NANA 
WHICH IS NEXT TO THE LIST. 
WE ARE OVER HALFWAY THROUGH THE 
LIST AND WE ARE NOT HALFWAY 
THROUGH THE SEASON. 
THE PEAK OF HURRICANE SEASON IS 
ON SEPTEMBER 10th. 
SO WE DO EXPECT THINGS TO BE 
MOST ACTIVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. 
OF COURSE, IT BEGAN JUNE 1st. 
IT ENDS NOVEMBER 30th. 
WE CAN HAVE A HURRICANE ANYTIME 
OF YEAR. 
A FEW ISOLATED EVENING SHOWERS 
AND STORMS TONIGHT, ANOTHER 
ROUND COMING TOMORROW EVENING 
AND THEN DRIER BY THE MIDDLE OF 
THE WEEK. 
SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO SEE THESE 
MOVE TO THE EAST TONIGHT WITH 
SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND SOME 
FREQUENT LIGHTNING. 
MOVING IN THROUGH BLAIRSVILLE, 
GAINESVILLE AND CANTON YET THIS 
EVENING AND DYING OUT RIGHT 
AFTER MIDNIGHT. 
TOMORROW A FEW CLOUDS AROUND, 
MAYBE A LITTLE MORNING FOG AND 
AFTERNOON SHOWERS RIGHT AFTER 
LUNCHTIME TURNING INTO STORMS 
DURING THE EVENING HOURS, SOME 
OF WHICH COULD HAVE HEAVY 
DOWNPOURS. 
BY WEDNESDAY THINGS WILL BE A 
LITTLE DRIER, JUST A 20% CHANCE 
OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ON 
WEDNESDAY. 
THURSDAY WE DRY IT OUT AND WE 
HEAT IT UP. 
WE GET UP INTO THE LOW 90s. 
WE COULD EVEN HAVE MID-90s IN 
MIDDLE GEORGIA. 
IT'S GOING TO BE A HOT ONE. 
WE SEE THINGS MOISTEN UP AND 
RAIN CHANCES GOING UP A BIT AS 
WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEKEND. 
>>> TWO ADULT FOOTBALL TEAMS 
FIRE OFF AT LEAST 30 ROUNDS AT 
A POPULAR FAMILY PARK IN 
GWINNETT LEAVING ONE PERSON 
HURT. 
IT HAPPENED SATURDAY NIGHT AT 
THE GARY PERKLE PARK. 
TWO FOOTBALL TEAMS WERE 
PLAYING, A FIGHT STARTED IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. 
THE GAME WAS CALLED OFF AND 
MULTIPLE PEOPLE WENT AND GOT 
THEIR GUNS AND OPENED FIRE. 
AT LEAST 100 PEOPLE WERE THERE 
AT THE TIME. 
ONE PERSON WAS SHOT IN THE LEG. 
THEY'RE EXPECTED TO BE OKAY. 
STATE REPRESENTATIVE DAVID 
CLARK POSTED HE AND HIS WIFE 
HEARD THE GUNSHOTS AND SAID THE 
BEHAVIOR IS UNACCEPTABLE. 
THE TEAMS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED 
BACK INTO THE PARK, ALTHOUGH 
NEITHER THE POLICE NOR THE 
STATE REPRESENTATIVE NAMED THE 
SEMI PRO FOOTBALL TEAMS. 
THE APDFL ADVERTISED A MATCH-UP 
ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE SAYING 
THE COLUMBUS STORM WOULD TAKE 
ON THE GEORGIA CARDINALS AT 
GARY PERKLE PARK ON SATURDAY 
NIGHT. 
HOWEVER, WE REACHED OUT TO THE 
LEAGUE LAST NIGHT. 
THEY TOLD US SATURDAY'S GAME 
WAS NOT AN OFFICIAL LEAGUE 
GAME. 
THEY SAY THE LEAGUE HASN'T 
PLAYED AN OFFICIAL GAME SINCE 
MARCH AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY 
GAMES SCHEDULED OR PLANNED 
UNTIL FEBRUARY 2021. 
THEY ALSO CLAIM NEITHER TEAM IS 
EVEN IN THEIR LEAGUE. 
THE LEAGUE LATER ADDED THAT THE 
GEORGIA CARDINALS HAD ONLY 
APPLIED TO BE IN THE LEAGUE AND 
THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ACCEPTED AS 
OF YET.

LATEST INFORMATION ON THAT AND

MISLEADING INFORMATION GOING 
AROUND. 
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THESE 
TWEETS THAT CLAIM PEOPLE 
ARRESTED AT BLACK LIVES MATTER 
PROTESTS WILL LOSE THE RIGHT TO 
VOTE. 
LET'S VERIFY. 
WILL BEING ARRESTED AT A 
PROTEST CAUSE YOU TO LOSE YOUR 
VOTING RIGHTS? 
FIRST RESEARCHERS TRACED THE 
SOURCE OF THE TWEETS BACK TO 
ARTICLES OUT OF TENNESSEE WITH 
HEADLINES LIKE THIS. 
"PROTESTERS IN TENNESSEE COULD 
NOW LOSE THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE." 
OUR SOURCES ARE THE OFFICIAL 
RECORDS AND INFORMATION FROM 
THE TENNESSEE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, 
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND THE 
SECRETARY OF STATE. 
FIRST WE SHOULD GIVE YOU A 
LITTLE BACK HISTORY WHAT'S BEEN 
GOING ON.

HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATING AND 
OCCUPYING THE PLAZA OUT FRONT 
OF THE CAPITOL IN NASHVILLE 
AROUND THE CLOCK.

FINAL CONSIDERATION.

LEGISLATURE PASSED AND GOVERNOR 
BILL LEE SIGNED NEW LEGISLATION 
REVISING CERTAIN CRIMINAL LAWS 
SURROUNDING PROTEST-RELATED 
OFFENSES. 
IT GOES INTO EFFECT OCTOBER 
1st. 
HERE'S THE PART OF THE LAW 
PEOPLE ARE REFERENCING. 
THE BILL INCREASES PUNISHMENT 
FOR ILLEGAL CAMPING ON STATE 
PROPERTY FROM A CLASS A 
MISDEMEANOR TO A CLASS D 
FELONY. 
THAT'S PUNISHABLE BY UP TO SIX 
YEARS IN JAIL. 
ACCORDING TO THE SECRETARY OF 
STATE, CONVICTED FELONS IN 
TENNESSEE LOSE THEIR RIGHT TO 
VOTE AND HAVE TO APPEAL TO THE 
STATE TO HAVE THEM RESTORED. 
WE CAN VERIFY THAT'S FALSE. 
YOU CAN'T LOSE YOUR VOTING 
RIGHTS FOR BEING ARRESTED 
DURING A PROTEST. 
WE CAN VERIFY THAT A PROTESTER 
WOULD LOSE THEIR VOTING RIGHTS 
IF THEY'RE CONVICTED OF A 
FELONY IN TENNESSEE AFTER THIS 
LAW GOES INTO EFFECT.

THIS IS THE BIGGER PICTURE. 
YOU CAN SEE THIS IN MOTION AS 
THE STORMS MOVE THROUGH. 
THIS IS OUR STORM PREDICTION 
CENTER OUTLOOK TODAY. 
EARLIER WE WERE TALKING ABOUT 
THE MARGINAL RISK THAT COVERED 
MUCH OF ALABAMA AND IT CUT OFF 
RIGHT WHEN WE GOT TO THE 
GEORGIA LINE. 
WELL, NOW THE STORM PREDICTION 
CENTER HAS TAKEN THAT MARGINAL 
RISK AWAY. 
WE'LL JUST HAVE GENERAL SHOWERS 
MOVING THROUGH. 
SO WE AREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT 
ANY SEVERE STORMS OVERNIGHT, 
JUST A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS. 
IF YOU DON'T GET A SHOWER 
TONIGHT, CHANCES ARE YOU MIGHT 
GET ONE LATER TOMORROW. 
WE'LL TALK ABOUT OUR RAIN 
CHANCES FOR TOMORROW AND WHEN 
WE SEE A DRIER PATTERN MOVING 
IN, MORE ON THAT IN A FEW 
MINUTES. 
>> CHRIS, SEE YOU IN A COUPLE 
MINUTES. 
>>> CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? 
WE ARE NINE WEEKS AWAY FROM 
ELECTION DAY. 
A LOT OF CANDIDATES ARE TURNING 
UP THE PRESSURE. 
FORMER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR 
GOVERNOR STACEY ABRAMS IS NOW 
PART OF THE U.S. SENATE RACE, 
SORT OF. 
TWO REPUBLICANS ARE USING HER 
IMAGES AS BLUNT INSTRUMENTS TO 
BEAT EACH OTHER UP POLITICALLY. 
11ALIVE'S DOUG RICHARDS HAS 
MORE WHY THIS MAKES SOME 
UNEXPECTED SENSE. 
>> Reporter:  AFTER LOSING HER 
RACE FOR GOVERNOR IN 2018, 
STACEY ABRAMS MADE THE 
CONSCIOUS DECISION NOT TO RUN 
FOR ANYTHING AT ALL IN 2020 AND 
YET ABRAMS' PRESENCE IS 
UNDENIABLE. 
DOUG COLLINS WHO IS RUNNING FOR 
THE U.S. SENATE HAS PASSED 
AROUND VIDEO OF ABRAMS WITH 
KELLY LOEFFLER. 
IT SHOWS THEM AT A PRO 
BASKETBALL GAME AND LOEFFLER 
EMBRACING ABRAMS AND APPLAUDING 
AFTER SHE'S INTRODUCED. 
>> THE TALE OF TWO KELLY'S, 
KELLY BEFORE AND NOW WHO SHE'S 
TRYING TO PRETEND TO BE. 
WE'RE POINTING OUT YOU GOT TO 
BE ONE. 
THE ONE WE SEE IS THE ONE SHE'S 
TRYING TO COVER UP. 
>> Reporter:  THERE'S MORE. 
LOEFFLER'S CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN 
RUNNING AN AD THAT LINGERS ON 
THE FACE OF ABRAMS AND WIDENS 
TO A PHOTO OF HER WITH DOUG 
COLLINS WHO SERVED WITH ABRAMS 
IN THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE 
WHILE SAYING COLLINS VOTED WITH 
ABRAMS 300 PLUS TIMES. 
>> I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO 
ASK OURSELVES WHY WE SHOULD 
FALL FOR THIS TYPE OF ATTACK 
WHEN PEOPLE WERE JUST DOING 
THEIR JOBS? 
IN THAT INSTANCE DOUG COLLINS 
WORKING AS A STATE LEGISLATOR 
AND KELLY LOEFFLER WAS WORKING 
AS 
A CO-OWNER OF THE ATLANTA 
DREAM. 
>> Reporter:  WARNOCK, LOEFFLER 
AND COLLINS WILL APPEAR ON A 
BALLOT WITH 18 OTHER CANDIDATES 
IN A SPECIAL ELECTION. 
VOTERS ARE LIKELY TO BE 
CONFUSED BY THE NUMBER OF NAMES 
ON THE SPECIAL ELECTION BALLOT. 
THEY WON'T SEE THE NAME OF 
ABRAMS, BUT THEY WILL SEE IT IN 
PLENTY OF CAMPAIGN MATERIAL. 
>>> RIGHT NOW A LOT OF PEOPLE 
WHO HAVE BEEN OUT OF WORK OR 
HAD HOURS CUT SINCE THE START 
OF THE PANDEMIC ARE FACING 
ANOTHER CHALLENGE, LOSING THEIR 
HOME. 
ONE INDUSTRY ANALYST PREDICTS 
MORE THAN 350,000 GEORGIANS 
COULD FACE EVICTION IN THE NEXT 
FOUR MONTHS. 
THE C.A.R.E.S. 
ACT EVICTION PROGRAM ENDED LAST 
MONTH. 
THERE WAS A 30-DAY BUFFER, BUT 
THAT ENDED LAST WEEK. 
TRACY AMIKER TALKED WITH AN 
ATTORNEY ABOUT STEPS TO TRY TO 
SAVE YOUR HOME. 
>> Reporter:  LEGAL AID SOCIETY 
ATTORNEY JOHN GAINEY SAYS CALLS 
FOR HELP ARE NOT SLOWING DOWN. 
>> SEPTEMBER WILL BE REALLY THE 
WORST MONTH YET IN THIS 
PANDEMIC FOR EVICTION BECAUSE 
THE UNEMPLOYMENT EXPANDED 
BENEFITS ARE ENDING AND THEN 
THIS MORATORIUM IS COMING TO A 
CLOSE. 
>> Reporter:  WHEN AN EVICTION 
NOTICE IS POSTED ON THE DOOR, 
GAINEY SAYS THE CLOCK STARTS 
TICKING. 
>> YOU ONLY HAVE SEVEN DAYS TO 
RESPOND AND IF YOU DON'T 
RESPOND WITHIN THAT SEVENTH 
DAY, ON THE EIGHTH DAY THAT 
LANDLORD TECHNICALLY HAS THE 
AUTHORITY TO REMOVE A PERSON 
FROM THEIR HOME. 
>> Reporter:  SO RESPONDING ON 
TIME IS CRUCIAL. 
TO HELP WITH THE PROCESS, 
GAINEY SAYS RIGHT AWAY YOU 
SHOULD CALL A LEGAL AID 
ATTORNEY. 
>> OTHER POSSIBLE DEFENSES TO 
THE EVICTION CAN INCLUDE A 
DEFENSE BECAUSE THEY VIOLATED 
THE C.A.R.E.S. 
ACT, BECAUSE THEY VIOLATED SOME 
OTHER JUST NORMAL PROCEDURAL 
REQUIREMENT. 
>> Reporter:  GAINEY SAYS ALL 
EVICTIONS HAVE LONG TERM 
CONSEQUENCES LIKE KEEPING YOU 
FROM FINDING ANOTHER HOME. 
>> IF THEY SEE AN EVICTION WAS 
FILED AGAINST YOU AND A LARGE 
MONEY JUDGMENT, SAY THREE OR 
FOUR MONTHS OF RENT IS OWED, 
THEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE 
UNLIKELY TO RENT TO YOU. 
>> Reporter:  NOT TO MENTION 
THE EFFECTS ON THE REST OF THE 
FAMILY. 
>> AN EVICTION CAN CAUSE 
CHILDREN TO MOVE SCHOOL 
DISTRICTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 
SCHOOL YEAR. 
IF IT'S HAPPENING MULTIPLE 
TIMES A YEAR, THEY WON'T GET 
CONSISTENT INSTRUCTION. 
>> Reporter:  GAINEY SAYS THERE 
IS NEVER A GOOD TIME TO BE 
HOMELESS, BUT RIGHT NOW IS ONE 
OF THE WORST. 
>> FOR PEOPLE TO BE PUT OUT OF 
THEIR HOMES AT THIS TIME 
ESPECIALLY JUST SEEMS INHUMANE 
AND REALLY DANGEROUS. 
>> Reporter:  THE CITY OF 
ATLANTA ALSO HAD ITS OWN 
MORATORIUM ON RESIDENTIAL 
EVICTIONS DUE TO COVID-19. 
THAT ENDS TODAY. 
>>> COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS 
ACROSS GEORGIA ARE REALLY 
WORKING TO FIND MORE WAYS TO 
HELP FAMILIES FACING FINANCIAL 
HARDSHIP. 
THE CITY OF ATLANTA HAS 
ALLOCATED $22 MILLION FROM ITS

CDC COVID-19 SURVEILLANCE 
REPORT POSTED ALL ACROSS SOCIAL 
MEDIA OVER THE WEEKEND. 
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. 
DEATH STATISTICS ARE REALLY 
COMPLEX. 
PERFECTLY HEALTHY PEOPLE WHO 
DIE OF OLD AGE IN THEIR SLEEP 
MAY HAVE TWO OR THREE OTHER 
CONDITIONS LISTED AS 
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO DEATH. 
PULMONARY CRITICAL CARE DR. 
JENNIFER BARBERRY PUTS IT INTO 
PERSPECTIVE. 
>> BUT THESE ARE RELATIVELY 
HEALTHY PEOPLE. 
VERY FEW CO-MORBIDITIES SHOW 
THEY SHOULD BE LIVING FOR YEARS 
AND YEARS. 
SO THEY ARE NOALLY ILL. 
THEY'RE NOT COMING IN TOTAL 
PICTURES OF HEALTH. 
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES, 
THAT IS DEFINITELY A THEME. 
>> IN GEORGIA WE KNOW COVID-19 
WAS LISTED AS THE PRIMARY CAUSE 
IN ABOUT ONE-FIFTH OF OUR 5,600 
DEATHS. 
NATIONALLY THE CDC DATA SHOWS 
COVID WAS THE DIRECT CAUSE FOR 
ABOUT 6% OF THE DEATHS, BUT 
THAT VIRUS HAS CAUSED TENS OF 
THOUSANDS MORE LIVES SINCE 
FEBRUARY. 
>>> WHAT IS THAT STINKY SMELL 
IN THE AIR IN FORSYTH COUNTY? 
THE FOUL ODOR HAS BEEN AROUND

EVEN GEORGIA'S ENVIRONMENTAL 
PROTECTION DIVISION CAN'T 
FIGURE IT OUT.

POLLUTION DIVISION. 
THEY DON'T KNOW EITHER. 
NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME 
SCIENTIFICALLY WHAT IT IS. 
>> BUT THERE ARE A FEW 
THEORIES. 
>> I THINK IT'S WEATHER-
RELATED. 
THAT'S JUST A GUESS.

HOLCOMB FROM THE 11ALIVE 
STORMTRACKER STILL TALKING WITH 
ABOUT 200 PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK 
LIVE. 
ANGELA WATKINS IS ASKING HOW IS 
CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, LOOKING? 
I'LL ANSWER THAT FOR YOU COMING 
UP. 
WELL ALSO HAVE SHIRLEY SAYS 
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE 
DISTURBANCES IN THE ATLANTIC? 
I'M BREAKING THAT DOWN FOR YOU 
NOW AS WELL. 
PRETTY ACTIVE TIME IN THE 
ATLANTIC BASIN. 
LET ME SHOW YOU LOCALLY WHERE 
WE HAVE SOME SHOWERS, NOTHING 
HERE IN ATLANTA, BUT WE'VE 
TRACKED SOME OF THESE SHOWERS 
COMING IN FROM ALABAMA, SOME OF 
THEM WITH HEAVIER RAIN UP IN 
NORTHWEST GEORGIA AND SOUTH AND 
WEST OF US. 
IN THE CITY WE'RE OKAY NOW. 
THERE ARE A FEW LIGHTER SHOWERS 
ON THE WEST SIDE. 
SOME OF THOSE WILL MOVE THROUGH 
IN A BIT BUT NOTHING 
PARTICULARLY HEAVY. 
THOSE DOWN IN COWETA COUNTY 
COMING OUT OF HEARD COUNTY, 
NORTHERN PARTS OF TROUPE COUNTY 
MOVING INTO NORTHERN MERIWETHER 
COUNTY, JUST MODERATE SHOWERS, 
A COUPLE FLASHES OF LIGHTNING 
WEST OF MORELAND AND NEWNAN, 
BUT THOSE ARE STARTING TO CALM 
DOWN. 
SOME LIGHTNING CAME THROUGH 
DALTON AND MURRAY COUNTY NOW 
MOVING INTO FAR NORTHWEST 
FANNIN AND GILMER COUNTY A 
COUPLE POCKETS OF MORE MODERATE 
RAIN MOVING THROUGH THERE. 
THE LIGHTNING IS MAINLY IN THE 
WESTERN PARTS OF FANNIN COUNTY. 
THERE'S MORE RAIN BACK IN 
ALABAMA. 
THESE ARE STRONG FROM 
BIRMINGHAM DOWN I-20 TOWARD 
MERIDIAN, MISSISSIPPI, WHERE WE 
SOMEWHERE A LOT OF LIGHTNING 
WITH THOSE. 
WE EXPECT THESE TO WEAKEN JUST 
LIKE THESE ARE WEAKENING COMING 
INTO WEST GEORGIA. 
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE 
WATCHING WITH THIS SYSTEM 
MOVING WORLD THE WEST, BUT THEY 
WILL WEAKEN OVERNIGHT. 
LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT WE'RE 
WATCHING, TAKE A LIVE LOOK OUT 
THERE NOW. 
THIS IS IS OUR STORM PREDICTION 
CENTER OUTLOOK SHOWING WHERE 
EARLIER WE WERE SHOWING THE 
GREEN COLOR WHICH INDICATES 
MARGINAL RISK OVER ALABAMA. 
IT STOPS PRETTY MUCH RIGHT AT 
WEST GEORGIA. 
NOW THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER 
HAS TAKEN THAT OUT FOR ALABAMA. 
AS THOSE SHOWERS MOVE OUR WAY, 
YEAH, MAYBE A FEW RAINDROPS 
HERE, A RUMBLE OF THUNDER 
POSSIBLE. 
WE DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING SEVERE 
TONIGHT HERE THROUGH THE 
OVERNIGHT HOURS. 
TEMPERATURES TODAY MADE IT UP 
TO 89 FOR A HIGH, NOW STILL 
KIND OF WARM, 81 IN TOWN, 
MARIETTA 78. 
YOU COOLED OFF EARLIER BECAUSE 
SHOWERS CAME THROUGH THERE. 
ATHENS WAS AT 79. 
TOMORROW WILL BE ANOTHER REALLY 
WARM DAY, 90 DEGREES FOR A 
HIGH. 
WE'LL GO WITH A  WIZOMETER. 
IT STARTS OFF DRY AND IN THE 
AFTERNOON SCATTERED SHOWERS 
MOVE THROUGH. 
IN ALABAMA THE SHOWERS FALL 
APART, DRY OVERNIGHT, IN THE 
MORNING A FEW CLOUDS, LUNCHTIME 
A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS, MORE 
CLOUDS THAN SUN. 
IN THE AFTERNOON SCATTERED 
SHOWERS WILL START DEVELOPING, 
A FEW OF THOSE LINGERING INTO 
THE EVENING BEFORE THEY START 
FALLING APART. 
THEN WE SEE SOME DRIER WEATHER 
MOVING IN FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE 
WEEK. 
WEDNESDAY A MIX OF SUN AND 
CLOUDS. 
WE'RE GOING WITH ABOUT A 20% 
CHANCE FOR A SHOWER WEDNESDAY 
AND EVEN LOWER RAIN CHANCES ON 
THURSDAY, A LESS THAN 20% 
CHANCE OF A SHOWER. 
HERE'S THE LATEST ON TROPICAL 
DEPRESSION NUMBER 15, THE GOOD 
NEWS ABOUT THIS ONE, IT'S 
MOVING AWAY FROM THE COAST. 
WE EXPECT IT TO BECOME A 
TROPICAL STORM LATER TONIGHT. 
IT WOULD GET THE NAME NANA. 
THERE'S ANOTHER SYSTEM OFF THE 
COAST OF AFRICA THAT HAS A LOW 
CHANCE OF DEVELOPING AND 
ANOTHER ONE IN THE CARIBBEAN 
THAT HAS A HIGHER CHANCE OF 
DEVELOPING. 
WE'LL BREAK THAT DOWN IN A BIT. 
LOOK AT YOUR SEVEN-DAY OUTLOOK, 
90 DEGREES FOR A HIGH 
TEMPERATURE TUESDAY AND A 40% 
CHANCE FOR A COUPLE SHOWERS. 
THEN AS WE GO INTO WEDNESDAY, 
THAT'S WHEN RAIN CHANCES COME 
DOWN A BIT MORE WHERE WE HAVE A 
20% CHANCE OF A SHOWER 
WEDNESDAY AND THEN WE'RE GOING 
WITH A LESS THAN 20% CHANCE FOR 
A SHOWER THURSDAY, SO LOOKING 
PRETTY GOOD ON THURSDAY WITH 
DRY WEATHER, BUT, OF COURSE, IT 
WILL BE WARM. 
THEN BACK TO A 20% CHANCE 
FRIDAY AND THEN HEADING INTO 
THE LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND RAIN 
CHANCES BACK UP TO ABOUT 30 TO 
40%, BUT TEMPERATURES COMING 
DOWN, NOT ONLY INTO THE 80s 
SUNDAY AND MONDAY BECAUSE OF 
THE RAIN CHANCE, BUT WE'RE 
SEEING SOME COOLER AIR MOVING 
IN FOR NEXT WEEK STAYING A 
LITTLE BELOW AVERAGE.

HIS NEW POSITION AS A NURSING 
ASSISTANT AT THE SAME VA 
HOSPITAL THAT HELPED HIM. 
HE SUFFERED A TRAUMATIC BRAIN 
INJURY IN AFGHANISTAN IN BATTLE

WILLIS BECAME THE FIRST 
GRADUATE OF THE COBB COUNTY 
VETERANS ACCOUNTABILITY COURT 
IN 2017, BUT SINCE HE'D BEEN 
DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED FROM 
THE MILITARY, HE WAS NOT ABLE 
TO GET VETERANS BENEFITS OR A 
JOB AT THE VA. 
THEN IT WAS DISCOVERED A 2016 
LAW CALLED THE FAIRNESS FOR 
VETERANS ACT REQUIRES MILITARY 
DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARDS TO 
CONSIDER PTSD AND TRAUMATIC 
BRAIN INJURIES. 
THE REVIEW TOOK SOME TIME. 
>> WHEN THE DAYS WOULD GET 
HARD, I WAS LIKE OKAY, THIS IS 
JUST A PROCESS AND GOD PUT ME 
DOWN THIS ROUTE FOR A REASON. 
>> SERGEANT WILLIS SAYS THE 
MILITARY RESTORED HIS DIGNITY 
WHEN THEY GRANTED HIM AN 
HONORABLE DISCHARGE. 
NOW HE STARTS HIS NURSING JOB 
HELPING OTHER VETERANS HEAL. 
>>> UP NEXT REMEMBERING 
CHADWICK BOSEMAN, WE TALK 
THROUGH SOME OF HIS BIGGEST 
MOVIES FILMED RIGHT HERE IN 
>>> MOVIE LOVERS EVERYWHERE 
LOST A HERO FRIDAY NIGHT. 
CHADWICK BOSEMAN DIED AFTER A 
FOUR-YEAR BATTLE WITH COLON 
CANCER. 
IT WAS A BATTLE HE FOUGHT 
PRIVATELY FOR FOUR YEARS EVEN 
AS HE DELIVERED US ACTION 
PACKED MOVIES, BLACK PANTHER, 
TWO MORE AVENGERS MOVIES AND 
THE LIST JUST GOES ON.  
HE PORTRAYED SOME OF AMERICA'S 
BIGGEST REAL LIFE HEROES FROM 
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE THURGOOD 
MARSHALL TO JAMES BROWN AND 
BASEBALL LEGEND JACKIE 
ROBINSON. 
TODAY ON ALIVE AT 5:00 WE SAT 
DOWN WITH PRODUCER RYAN DENNIS 
TO TALK ABOUT BOSEMAN'S LASTING 
LEGACY IN FILMS AND CULTURE. 
BOSEMAN'S ROLL IN BLACK PANTHER 
CHALLA BECAME ONE OF THE MOST 
ICONIC BLACK IMAGES IN AMERICA. 
YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY TRIBUTES 
WE SAW FROM YOUNG BOYS ON 
SOCIAL MEDIA. 
RYAN, THIS MOVIE WAS SO 
SIGNIFICANT FOR PEOPLE ACROSS 
THE UNITED STATES AND BEYOND, 
BUT REALLY FOR MARVEL STUDIOS 
AND FOR GEORGIA WHERE THE MOVIE 
WAS FILMED. 
>> WE SAW REALLY UNPRECEDENTED 
NUMBERS OF WHAT MOVIEGOERS WERE 
WILLING TO DO TO SEE THIS FILM. 
FORM THE FIRST TIME WE SAW 
PEOPLE GOING TO THE THEATERS IN 
FULL AFRICAN TRADITIONAL GARB. 
IT WAS REALLY A MOMENT. 
IT TURNS OUT THE MOVIE WAS 
FILMED THROUGHOUT PARTS OF 
ATLANTA INCLUDING PINEWOOD 
STUDIOS AND SHOTS OF DOWNTOWN 
ATLANTA THAT ACTUALLY GROSSED 
MORE THAN $1.29 BILLION AT THE 
BOX OFFICE. 
SO IT TURNED OUT TO BE SUCCESS 
ALL OVER AGAIN WHEN BOSEMAN 
RETIRED HIS ROLE IN BLACK 
PANTHERS AND AVENGERS END GAME 
WHEN THE FILM BECAME AN EVEN 
HIGHER PROFILE ROLE FOR HIM. 
THE MOVIE POSTED MORE HAN $2.9 
BILLION AT THE BOX OFFICE 
BECOMING THE HIGHEST GROSSING 
FILM IN BOX OFFICE HISTORY AND 
IT ALL HAPPENED RIGHT HERE IN 
ATLANTA. 
>> SO MUCH SUCCESS IN THE BOX 
OFFICE AND THE IMPACT WENT SO 
FAR BEYOND. 
MY YOUNGEST LEARNED HIS 
ALPHABET WITH HIS MARVEL BOOK 
AND B IS FOR BLACK PANTHER. 
HE LOVES THE CHARACTER AND 
EVERYTHING THE CHARACTER STANDS 
FOR. 
IT JUST IS SUCH AN IMPACT ON SO 
MANY KIDS AND SO MANY MESSAGES 
OF LOVE CAME POURING IN ON 
SOCIAL MEDIA AFTER THE 
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HE HAD 
PASSED. 
PEARL WROTE, "WE HAVE YOUR 
LEGACY TO HOLD ONTO. 
THANK YOU FOR CARING. 
THE MOST HIGH BLESSED US WITH 
YOU, WAKONDA FOREVER." 
ALICIA WROTE, "WOW, WE NEVER 
KNOW WHAT STRUGGLES PEOPLE ARE 
GOING THROUGH. 
BE KIND. 
IT COSTS NOTHING FOR US TO JUST 
LOVE ONE ANOTHER. 
MAY HE REST IN THE PEACE HE 
MADE WITH HIS LIFE." 
>> AND LESLIE ADDS, "A FIGHTER 
AND HERO THROUGH AND THROUGH, 
WHILE HE SILENTLY SUFFERED HE 
EMBRACED AND BECAME A CHARACTER 
THAT WILL AND HAS INSPIRED 
MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS," AND 
THAT WAS REALLY THE MESSAGE OF 
THE OVERALL ARCHING THEME OF 
THE WEEKEND, THAT PEOPLE ARE 
FIGHTING THESE SILENT BATTLES. 
THERE WAS A MOMENT ON SOCIAL 
MEDIA WHERE HE REEMERGED AND 
LOOKED VERY DIFFERENT IN HIS 
APPEARANCE. 
HE WAS MUCH THINNER AND A LOT 
OF PEOPLE MADE SPECULATIONS OR 
JOKES AND HE HAD TO GO BACK AND 
TAKE SOME OF THOSE PICTURES 
DOWN BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE 
TALKING SO MUCH ABOUT IT. 
I THINK IT HAS REALLY TAUGHT US 
A HUGE LESSON IN KINDNESS FOR 
SURE BECAUSE YOU JUST NEVER 
EVER KNOW. 
>> YEAH. 
DEFINITELY MAKES EVERYONE LOOK 
AT SOCIAL MEDIA DIFFERENTLY. 
I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN 
YOU LOOK AT DEATH AND 
CELEBRITIES' DEATHS, WE LOOK AT 
THEIR IMPACT, BUT BEFORE A LOT 
OF PEOPLE GO INTO IT JUST BEING 
VERY JUDGMENTAL. 
ONE OF THE MEMORIES THAT COMES 
TO MIND WITH CHADWICK BOSEMAN 
AND THE BLACK PANTHER 
PHENOMENON WAS BACK IN 2018 
WHEN THE ROCK PARK ACADEMY 
MODELED THEIR ENTIRE ROOM AND 
LESSON PLAN OFF OF WAKONDA. 
IT WAS A SOCIAL STUDIES CLASS 
AND THEY TAUGHT ABOUT 
COLONIZATION AND THE STUDENTS 
WERE SURPRISED WHEN THEY FOUND 
OUT THEY WERE THE FIRST TO SEE 
THE FILM. 
THE IMPACT OF CHADWICK BOSEMAN 
WILL LIVE ON FOR DECADES TO 
COME. 
>> GREAT, GREAT POINT, RYAN. 
>> I'LL NEVER FORGET THE KIDS 
DANCING IN THE CAFETERIA. 
>> YEAH. 
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. 
A LOT OF KIDS WERE REALLY, 
REALLY EXCITED. 
THEY BECAME MEMES NATIONALLY 
KNOWN ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN 
THE KIDS WERE DANCING TO THAT 
REACTION. 
YOU CAN WATCH MORE RIGHT NOW ON 
THE 11ALIVE YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

PARTICULARLY THE AFFECTED 
COMMUNITIES, THE HEAT INDEX IS 
GOING TO BE BETWEEN 105 TO 108 
AND THIS IS GOING TO EXTEND FOR 
THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

VITAL WATER LINES ARE ALSO 
SEVERELY DAMAGED.

YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY. 
BLESS YOU ALL.

DRIVES. 
THE NATIONAL GUARD IS PROVIDING

PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY APPLIED FOR 
FEMA ASSISTANCE.

BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER RIGHT 
NOW. 
THINGS ARE PRETTY ACTIVE. 
WE HAVE A NEW TROPICAL 
DEPRESSION OFF THE COAST OF THE 
CAROLINAS. 
THIS FORMED AT 5:00 THIS 
AFTERNOON. 
IT WILL CONTINUE MOVING NORTH 
AND EAST. 
WE DO EXPECT IT TO BECOME A 
TROPICAL STORM LATER TONIGHT. 
WE COULD SEE THAT UPGRADED AT 
THE 11:00 ADVISORY. 
IF NOT, IT WILL BE UPGRADED WE 
THINK OVERNIGHT TOWARD TOMORROW 
MORNING. 
THE NEXT NAME ON THE LIST IS 
NANA. 
THIS WILL BE NAMED NANA. 
THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THIS STORM 
IS IT'S MOVING AWAY FROM THE 
COAST. 
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE A DIRECT 
LANDFALL HERE, DON'T EVEN THINK 
IT WOULD HIT BERMUDA. 
WE COULD SEE ROUGH SURF ALONG 
THE CAROLINA COASTLINE AND MID-
ATLANTIC COAST AND AS IT PULLS 
AWAY, I THINK IT WILL TAKE THE 
ROUGH SURF AWAY AS WELL. 
THERE ARE A COUPLE OTHER 
SYSTEMS WE'RE WATCHING, ONE OF 
THESE COMING OFF THE COAST OF 
AFRICA. 
ONCE IT GET OVER WATER WE THINK 
IT WILL HAVE A 30% CHANCE OF 
DEVELOPMENT THE NEXT FIVE DAYS. 
IT STILL HAS A LONG WAY TO GO 
ACROSS THE ATLANTA. 
EVEN BEYOND FIVE DAYS IT COULD 
DROP IN THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC. 
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE IN THE 
CARIBBEAN THAT HAS A 70 TO 80% 
CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT OVER THE 
NEXT FIVE DAYS. 
IN LOOKING AT THESE, THOUGH, 
THE MODELS ARE SHOWING THEM, 
THIS ONE KIND OF MOVING TOWARD 
MEXICO AND GOING INTO THE 
PACIFIC. 
IT DOESN'T SHOW IT TURNING INTO 
THE GULF OF MEXICO. 
THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO 
STAY AWAY FROM US. 
THE OTHER ONE OUT BY AFRICA IS 
JUST SO FAR AWAY IT'S TOO EARLY 
TO TELL IF IT WOULD HAVE ANY 
TYPE OF IMPACT ON US. 
STAY WITH US. 
WE'LL KEEP TRACKING THESE 
SYSTEMS AND WE'LL LOOK AT 
RADAR. 
WE HAVE A COUPLE SHOWERS OUT 
THERE NOW, SOME PRODUCING A 
LITTLE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. 
WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THOSE 
WILL DIMINISH. 
>>> WE ARE FOLLOWING A MAJOR 
TRAFFIC CONCERN ALONG I-20 AT 
BOULEVARD BRIDGE. 
A PART OF THE INTERSTATE IS 
SHUT DOWN OUT THERE NOW. 
POLICE SAY YOU DO NEED TO AVOID 
THIS AREA WHICH IS IMPACTING 
BOTH THE EAST AND WESTBOUND 
LANES. 
OFFICERS SAY THERE IS A 
SITUATION INVOLVING A MAN ON 
THE BRIDGE.

>>> THERE WAS A NEW STUDY A LOT 
OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TALKING 
ABOUT THAT HIGHLIGHTS MORE 
DISPARITIES IN HEALTHCARE AND 
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE KIND OF 
CARE BABIES RECEIVE RIGHT AFTER 
BIRTH. 
IT FOUND BLACK NEWBORNS ARE 
MORE LIKELY TO DIE DURING THEIR 
INITIAL STAY IN THE HOSPITAL 
THAN WHITE NEWBORNS, BUT IT 
ALSO SHOWS BLACK BABIES HAVE A 
HIGHER CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL IF 
THEY HAVE A BLACK DOCTOR. 
JENNIFER BELLAMY HAS MORE ON 
THE RESEARCH. 
>> Reporter:  A STUDY PUBLISHED 
IN THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE 
NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES 
FOUND IN THE UNITED STATES 
BLACK NEWBORNS DIE AT A RATE 
THREE TIMES THAT OF WHITE 
NEWBORNS, BUT WHEN BLACK 
DOCTORS CARE FOR BLACK 
NEWBORNS, THE RATE OF DEATH WAS 
CUT IN HALF. 
THE STUDY LOOKED AT 1.8 MILLION 
HOSPITAL BIRTHS IN FLORIDA FROM 
1992 TO 2015. 
IT FOUND THE BIGGEST DROP IN 
BLACK NEWBORN DEATHS CAME AMONG 
COMPLEX BIRTHS AND AT HOSPITALS 
THAT DELIVER MORE BLACK BABIES. 
RESEARCHERS SAY THE RACE OF A 
DOCTOR LOOKING AFTER WHITE 
BABIES DIDN'T MAKE MUCH 
DIFFERENCE IN THEIR CHANCES FOR 
SURVIVAL. 
A USA TODAY REVIEW OF THE STUDY 
SAYS IT DIDN'T GIVE AN EXACT 
REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED BUT 
IDENTIFIED SOME STRUCTURAL 
ISSUES THAT MAY BE FACTORS OF 
ONE THEORY SUGGESTS BLACK WOMEN 
MAY BE LESS HEALTHY AND AT A 
GREATER RISK FOR NEGATIVE 
OUTCOMES AS A RESULT OF THE 
COMBINED EFFECTS OF RACISM AND 
SOCIOECONOMIC DISADVANTAGES 
OVER THE COURSE OF THEIR LIVES. 
THAT INCLUDED LIMITED ACCESS TO 
HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION, 
FACTORS THAT ALSO PUT BLACKS AT 
A GREATER RISK FOR CONTRACTING 
COVID-19. 
ANOTHER SIMILAR ISSUE IS THE 
HIGH RATE OF MATERNAL MORTALITY 
FOR MOTHERS OF COLOR. 
LAST YEAR THE CDC SAID BLACK, 
AMERICAN INDIAN WERE TWO TO 
THREE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE 
OF NATURAL CAUSES. 
>> RESEARCHERS SAY THE NEW 
FINDINGS DON'T MEAN ONLY BLACK 
PHYSICIANS SHOULD CARE FOR 
BLACK PATIENTS. 
IT SHOWS ALL DOCTORS NEED 
BETTER TRAINING HOW TO TREAT 
PATIENTS OF COLOR AND A A NODE 
FOR MORE DIVERSITY WITHIN THE 
MEDICAL FIELD. 
OUR 11ALIVE YOUTUBE CHANNEL HAS 
THIS STORY IN THE ATTICUS 
SECTION. 
>>> THE FDA IS WILLING TO FAST 
TRACK A COVID-19 VACCINE TO 
MAKE IT AVAILABLE AS SOON AS 
POSSIBLE. 
THE COMMISSIONER SAYS HE IS 
WILLING TO ISSUE AN EMERGENCY 
USE AUTHORIZATION FOR A VACCINE 
BEFORE PHASE THREE OF THE 
TRIALS ARE DONE, BUT ONLY ON IF 
THE BENEFITS OUTWEIGH THE 
RISKS. 
THE ACTION WOULD MAKE THE 
VACCINE AVAILABLE TO CERTAIN 
GROUPS BEFORE THE VACCINE IS 
OFFICIALLY APPROVED. 
SO FAR TWO COVID-19 VACCINES 
ARE IN PHASE THREE TRIALS IN 
THE UNITED STATES. 
>>> COLLEGES IN THE U.S. KNEW 
IT WOULD BE A TOUGH YEAR TRYING 
TO KEEP CORONAVIRUS CASES DOWN 
ON CAMPUS, BUT THERE ARE SOME 
OUTBREAKS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW 
AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT SCHOOLS 
NOT SHARING ENOUGH INFORMATION. 
NBC'S BLAYNE ALEXANDER HAS 
MORE.

THAN DOUBLED IN THE PAST WEEK 
WITH 705 POSITIVE TESTS SINCE 
MARCH. 
THE SCHOOL IS URGING STUDENTS 
TO GET TESTED WEEKLY AT ONE OF 
FIVE FREE TESTING SITES ON 
CAMPUS. 
>> IF YOU SEE SOMEONE WHO IS 
PUTTING OTHERS AT RISK, PLEASE 
REPORT IT. 
>> Reporter:  THE UNIVERSITY OF 
ALABAMA IS SEEING A SPIKE WITH 
MORE THAN 1,000 CASES SINCE IN-
PERSON CLASSES STARTED LESS 
THAN TWO WEEKS AGO. 
LAST WEEK THE MAYOR OF 
TUSCALOOSA ORDERED ALL BARS IN 
THE CITY TEMPORARILY CLOSED. 
>> THE TRUTH IS THAT FALL IN 
TUSCALOOSA IS IN SERIOUS 
JEOPARDY. 
>> Reporter:  ARE STUDENTS 
TAKING IT SERIOUSLY NOW THAT 
CASES ARE GOING UP? 
>> I'VE DEFINITELY SEEN 
STUDENTS TAKE IT TAKE LOT MORE 
SERIOUSLY. 
I ALSO THINK THAT'S BECAUSE A 
LOT OF STUDENTS ARE SEEING 
PEOPLE THAT THEY ACTUALLY KNOW 
PERSONALLY CONTRACT THE VIRUS. 
>> Reporter:  IN A STATEMENT A 
SCHOOL OFFICIAL SAID THERE IS 
NO EVIDENCE OF VIRUS 
TRANSMISSION DUE TO IN-PERSON 
CLASS INSTRUCTION, BUT ACROSS 
THE COUNTRY SOME SCHOOLS ARE 
TEMPORARILY PULLING THE PLUG ON 
FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES. 
OUTBREAKS AT TEMPLE SUNY 
ONEONTA PROMPTING BOTH SCHOOLS 
TO GO VIRTUAL FOR TWO WEEKS. 
NOW SOME CAMPUSES ARE TURNING 
TO TECHNOLOGY TO KEEP CLASS IN 
SESSION. 
AT UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA 
STUDENTS CAN GET A NOTIFICATION 
OF A POTENTIAL EXPOSURE THANKS 
TO AN APP CALLED COVID WATCH. 
THE SCHOOL IS USING ANOTHER 
LESS CONVENTIONAL METHOD, 
ANALYZING SEWAGE. 
AFTER TESTING THE WASTEWATER 
FROM A DORM OFFICIALS WERE ABLE 
TO DETERMINE THAT SOMEONE 
INSIDE WAS CARRYING THE VIRUS. 
>> WE TESTED ALL THE STUDENTS 
AND STAFF THAT WORK THERE IN 
LIKENS AND WE FOUND TWO 
POSITIVE CASES WHICH WE MOVED 
OVER TO ISOLATION. 
SO WE THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE 
A VERY VALUABLE TOOL TO HELP US 
GET OUT IN FRONT.

PAINTED OUTSIDE AN EAST COBB 
NEIGHBORHOOD ALONG A FENCE. 
SEVERAL GROUPS FROM THE 
INTERFAITH COMMUNITY BACKED BY 
THE POLICE AND THE COBB COUNTY 
D.A.'S OFFICE GATHERED TO 
SUPPORT THE JEWISH COMMUNITY. 
RABBI LARRY STERNOVIC SAID THE 
HATE SIGNS DO NOT REPRESENT THE 
EXPERT OF COBB COUNTY AND THEY 
WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE OF HOPE 
INSTEAD OF HATE. 
>> THERE'S MORE LOVE THAN HATE, 
THAT WHEN YOU GET TOGETHER SO 
MANY PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT

PLAY, IT SAYS NOBODY IS ALONE 
AND WHEN WE SEE THE HUMANITY IN 
THE OTHER, THAT'S WHEN WE 
CREATE COMMUNITY. 
THAT'S HOW WE BUILD ON LOVE. 
THAT'S HOW WE MAKE THE WORLD A 
BETTER PLACE. 
>> THE RABBI SAYS THE VANDALISM 
IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. 
>>> WE'VE BEEN TRACKING A FEW 
OF THESE SHOWERS COMING IN FROM 
ALABAMA. 
THE TREND, THOUGH, AS THEY MOVE 
IN FROM ALABAMA INTO GEORGIA IS 
THAT THEY ARE WEAKENING AND 
THAT PROCESS IS CONTINUING HERE 
WHERE WE SEE JUST A FEW LIGHT 
SHOWERS OVER NORTH GEORGIA. 
THEY WERE A LITTLE STRONGER IN 
NORTHWEST GEORGIA WITH SOME 
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. 
AS THEY MOVED INTO FANNIN AND 
GILMER COUNTY, THEY'RE FALLING 
APART. 
ALSO THESE SOUTH AND WEST OF 
THE CITY IN PARTS OF COWETA 
COUNTY HAVE ALSO STARTED 
FALLING APART, TOO. 
IN ATLANTA WE'RE FINE, A FEW 
RAINDROPS HERE IN COBB COUNTY. 
THOSE ARE WEAKENING AS THEY 
MOVE INTO PARTS OF FULTON 
COUNTY. 
THERE'S ONE COMING OUT OF 
CLEBURNE COUNTY, ALABAMA, AT 
THE RANDOLPH COUNTY LINE MOVING 
INTO CARROLL COUNTY, GOT A 
LITTLE MODERATE RAIN WITH THAT 
BUT NO LIGHTNING AND NOTHING 
STRONG WITH THIS. 
IN COWETA COUNTY EARLIER IT WAS 
STRONG SHOWERS WITH THUNDER AND 
LIGHTNING BUT NOW ARE FALLING 
APART. 
THERE'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING 
ABOUT IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA, 
THAT THUNDER AND LIGHTNING ALSO 
DIMINISHING WITH A FEW LIGHT 
SHOWERS IN GILMER AND PARTS OF 
FANNIN COUNTY. 
THAT TREND CONTINUES WITH THESE 
SHOWERS BACK INTO BIRMINGHAM 
DOWN I20. 
AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES CLOSER TO 
WEST GEORGIA, THESE WILL ALSO 
WEAKEN. 
YOU'VE GOT A GOOD BIT OF 
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING WITH 
THOSE IN BIRMINGHAM, BUT AS 
THEY MOVE INTO GEORGIA, WE 
DON'T THINK THE LIGHTNING WILL 
BE WITH THEM ANYMORE. 
WE HAVE A LIVE LOOK DOWN IN 
COWETA COUNTY IN NEWNAN. 
WE JUST SHOWED THE LITTLE BIT 
OF GREEN ON RADAR. 
I'M NOT SEEING RAIN COMING DOWN 
NOW, CAN'T TELL IF THESE ROADS 
FROM THIS LIVE PICTURE MAY BE A 
LITTLE DAMP FROM A COUPLE LIGHT 
SHOWERS THAT ARE TRYING TO MOVE 
IN OVER COWETA COUNTY NOW. 
IT GOT WARM TODAY. 
WE TOPPED OFF AT 89 JUST SHY OF 
90, BUT STILL 3 DEGREES ABOVE 
THE AVERAGE. 
WE SHOULD BE AROUND 86 FOR THIS 
TIME OF YEAR. 
OUR LOW THIS MORNING WAS A MILD 
73. 
LOOK AT THE RAIN SURPLUS. 
WE ONLY PICKED UP 0.01-INCH OF 
RAIN. 
IF YOU'LL REMEMBER LAST WEEK, 
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A RAIN 
SURPLUS JUST UNDER A FOOT ABOVE 
WHERE WE SHOULD BE IN RAINFALL. 
THE RAIN THAT CAME IN OVER THE 
WEEKEND, ESPECIALLY SUNDAY, WAS 
REALLY HEAVY OVER HARTSFIELD. 
NOW OUR SURPLUS IS 14 INCHES 
ABOVE WHERE WE SHOULD BE IN 
RAINFALL FOR THE YEAR. 
TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR WEATHER 
HEADLINES. 
WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH 
SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING 
STORMS DURING THE DAY TOMORROW, 
BUT THEN DRIER WEATHER MOVES IN 
FOR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND 
FRIDAY WITH RAIN CHANCES AT 
ABOUT 20% ON WEDNESDAY, LESS 
THAN 20% ON THURSDAY, THEN BACK 
TO 20% AGAIN FRIDAY. 
SO SOME DRIER AIR WILL BE 
MOVING IN, BUT WITH THAT 
TEMPERATURES WILL BE BACK TO 
THE 90s. 
TODAY WE WERE ONE DEGREE AWAY 
FROM THAT. 
I THINK WE'LL BE IN THE LOWER 
90s TOMORROW AND MAYBE 92 OR 93 
IN THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE 
WEEK. 
THERE YOU SEE THE 90-DEGREE 
HIGH, A SIX ON THE WIZOMETER 
WITH A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS. 
IN THE MORNING WE'RE DRY. 
WE'LL HAVE A FEW CLOUDS AROUND, 
SAME THING AT NOONTIME, A 
MIXTURE OF SUNSHINE AND CLOUDS 
AND IN THE AFTERNOON NOT A 
WIDESPREAD COVERAGE, BUT SOME 
OF THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS POP 
UP. 
SOME OF THEM COULD HAVE SOME 
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. 
A FEW OF THOSE LINGER INTO 
EVENING BEFORE THEY FALL APART. 
THEN WE GET DRIER AIR IN HERE 
WEDNESDAY WITH A MIX OF SUN AND 
CLOUDS WEDNESDAY, ONLY A 20% 
CHANCE OF A SHOWER. 
THAT WILL BE NICE. 
THEN ON THURSDAY EVEN LOWER 
RAIN CHANCES. 
WE GO FROM A 40% CHANCE TO A 
20% CHANCE WEDNESDAY AND THEN 
LESS THAN 20% CHANCE ON 
THURSDAY, BUT TEMPERATURES WILL 
BE PRETTY WARM, UP TO 93 
DEGREES. 
FRIDAY 91 WITH A 20% CHANCE OF 
A SHOWER, A LITTLE BETTER 
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS SATURDAY, 
SUNDAY AND MONDAY GOING INTO 
THE LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND, 30 TO 
40% CHANCE FOR RAIN, 
TEMPERATURES BACK TO THE 80s 
SUNDAY AND MONDAY. 
I DO THINK WE'LL HOLD IN THE 
80s FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK WHICH 
WILL BE A LITTLE BELOW WHERE WE 
SHOULD BE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR 
FOR NEXT WEEK.

IT'S DEFINITELY BITTERSWEET 
BECAUSE A PART OF ME 
UNDERSTANDS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS 
TO FAMILIES BECAUSE IT'S 
DIFFERENTIATING A PERSON FROM 
THE SEA OF NUMBERS THAT WE'VE 
BECOME SO USED TO, BUT THE SAD 
PART OF IT IS THAT THERE'S SO 
MANY AND THE IMPACT THAT THIS 
VIRUS HAS HAD ON SO MANY LIVES 
IS JUST INCREDIBLY UPSETTING.

HOPING THAT THE FACES

FRIDAY AND THEN FOR THE WEEKEND 
ABOUT A 30 TO 40% CHANCE FOR 
AFTERNOON SHOWERS WITH 
TEMPERATURES THAT WILL BE BACK 
DOWN INTO THE MID-80s FOR

ARE FALLING.

ARE LIVE TONIGHT AT GEORGIA 
TECH WITH A BREAKDOWN OF THE 
WHITE HOUSE REPORT. 
>> Reporter: THIS IS THE FIRST 
WHITE HOUSE REPORT IN SEVERAL 
WEEKS THAT DOESN'T RECOMMEND A 
STATEWIDE MASK MANDATE FOR 
GEORGIA BUT THESE 
RECOMMENDATIONS ARE COMING OUT 
AS SCHOOLS LIKE GEORGIA TECH 
AND UG EIGHT ARE SEEING A RISE 
IN CASES. 
AMONG THE GOOD NEWS FOR 
GEORGE'S COVID-19 NUMBERS  IS 
ALSO A NEW LIST OF 
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UNIVERSITIES
AND COLLEGES. 
WITH STUDENTS BACK ON CAMPUS 
THE WHITE HOUSE COVID-19 TASK 
FORCE IS ASKING SCHOOLS TO  
ENSURE BOTH DIAGNOSTIC AND 
SURVEILLANCE TESTING ARE RAPID 
AND COMPREHENSIVE UNIVERSITY 
STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE QUARANTINE 
AND CARE SITES ON CAMPUS OR 
NEAR CAMPUS AND NOT BE RETURNED 
HOME TO MULTIGENERATIONAL 
HOUSEHOLDS. 
IN SHORT ALL UNIVERSITIES CAN 
FULLY TEST ISOLATE AND CONTACT 
TRAITS. 
THESE NEW RECOMMENDATIONS, AS 
GEORGIA TECH HAS MORE THAN 
DOUBLED IN COVID CASES IN THE 
LAST WEEK. 
SITTING AT 705 CASES SINCE 
MARCH. 
GEORGIA TECH REPORTS THOSE 
NUMBERS DAILY.  
>> YOU SEE SOMEONE PUTTING ALL 
OTHERS AT RISK. 
REPORTED. 
A 
>> THIS WEEK THEY REPORTED AN 
ESTIMATED 241 POSITIVE CASES 
BETWEEN STUDENTS AND STAFF. 
THEIR NUMBERS COME OUT WEEKLY. 
MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT DOCTOR 
SAYS THE GUIDELINES MAKE 
PRACTICAL SENSE. 
>> I THINK THE MEASURES ARE 
ACTUALLY VERY CONCRETE WHICH I 
THINK IS HELPFUL. 
MEANING THEY ARE VERY SPECIFIC 
WHICH WILL BE USEFUL TO THE 
UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES AS 
THEY TRY TO NAVIGATE THIS NEW 
NORMAL. 
>> WITH VARIOUS SPECIFIC 
RECOMMENDATIONS LIKE THESE IT 
COULD HELP SCHOOLS LAMENT THEM 
EASILY IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. 
>> WE ARE CLEARLY SEEING THAT 
SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT LISTENING 
TO THE GUIDELINES THAT PERHAPS 
HAVING THEM IN BLACK AND WHITE 
MAY GIVE THE SCHOOL MORE ABILITY
TO PROBABLY ENFORCE THEM TO 
GUIDE STUDENTS. 
>> AND I DID REACH OUT EARLIER 
TODAY TO GEORGIA TECH AND UG A 
TO SEE IF THEY ARE IMPLEMENTING 
THESE OR ALREADY HAVE THEM IN 
PLACE WE HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK 
WE WILL HAVE AN UPDATE AS SOON 
AS WE HEAR BACK RIGHT HERE ON 
11ALIVE. 
>>>  GLOBAL CASES OF COVID-19 
HAVE SURGED PAST  25 MILLION 
INDIA SETTING A WORLDWIDE DAILY

HOUR PERIOD ENDING ON SUNDAY 
INDIA IS NOW ONLY BEHIND THE 
U.S. AND BRAZIL IN TERMS OF 
TOTAL CORONAVIRUS CASES WE WILL 
SEE THREE AND HALF MILLION 
POSITIVE CASES THERE. 
>>> WE HAD SOME SCATTERED 
SHOWERS ACROSS THE VIEWING AREA 
THROUGHOUT THE DAY WHAT CAN WE 
EXPECT GOING INTO THE

>> WE WILL SEE THINGS COMING 
DOWN WE HAVE BEEN TRACKING 
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT 
HAVE BEEN COMING OUT OF ALABAMA 
BUT AS THEY MOVE INTO GEORGIA 
THEY HAVE BEEN WEAKENING AND 
THAT WEAKENING TREND  IS GOING 
TO CONTINUE YOU CAN SEE IF YOU 
SHOWERS HERE IN NORTH GEORGIA A 
COUPLE ON THE WEST SIDE A FEW 
SOUTH AND WEST OF THE CITY BUT 
AGAIN THEY ARE LIGHT SHOWERS 
COMING IN INSIDE THE PERIMETER 
WE ARE FINALLY GOT A COUPLE 
SHOWERS HERE IN COBB COUNTY 
VERY LIGHT STUFF ALSO ON THE 
SOUTH SIDE DOWN IN THIS COUNTY 
WE HAVE SOME LIGHTER SHOWERS 
HERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A 
MODERATE SHOWER AND HEAVY RAIN 
COMING INTO WESTERN CARROLL 
COUNTY JUST TO THE NORTH. 
WE DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTNING 
WITH THAT AND IT IS NOT SEVERE 
WE DID HAVE LIGHTNING UP AROUND 
DALTON EARLIER BUT AS I MOVED 
INTO MURRAY COUNTY AND NOW HERE

MOVING OVER TO UNION AND TOWNS 
BUT IT WILL BE VERY LIGHT IN 
THAT WEAKENING PROCESS 
CONTINUING WE ALSO HAVE A LOT 
OF LIGHTING HERE FROM BIRMINGHAM
DOWN I 20 INTO WESTERN ALABAMA. 
WE THINK THAT THOSE STORMS WILL 
DO THE SAME THING THAT THESE 
DID THEY WILL WEAKEN AS THEY 
MOVE INTO WEST GEORGIA SO WE 
ARE NOT OVERLY CONCERNED ABOUT 
ANY MAJOR ISSUES OVERNIGHT 
MAYBE JUST A FEW RAINDROPS HERE

HOW ABOUT A DRYER WEEK AHEAD?  
IT IS UNUSUAL TO BE A LITTLE 
BIT COOLER. 
>> WE WILL SEE THOSE RAIN 
CHANCES THAT WILL STILL BE WITH 
US TOMORROW BUT THEN THAT DRYER 
AIR BECOMES THE MIDDLE AND THE 
END OF THE WEEK AND WE CAN USE 
IT BECAUSE WE NOW HAVE A SURPLUS
OF NOW 14 INCHES ABOVE WHERE WE 
SHOULD BE IN RAINFALL FOR THE 
YEAR SO WE CAN AFFORD TO DRY 
OUT A LITTLE BIT. 
TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE 
WATCHING RIGHT NOW WE HAVE BEEN 
TRACKING SOME OF THE SHOWERS 
THAT I'VE BEEN MOVING OUT OF 
ALABAMA. 
AS THEY MOVED TO GEORGIA THEY 
HAVE BEEN WEAKENING WE HAVE 
JUST A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS 
SCATTERED AROUND THE METRO AREA 
SOME OF THESE IN COBB, SOUTHERN 
PARTS OF CHEROKEE COUNTY ALSO 
SOUTH THE CAB HERE ROSSDALE, 
HENRY, CLAYTON, A FEW LIGHT 
SHOWERS A FEW MORE BACK INTO 
CARROLL COUNTY AS WELL AND YOU 
CAN SEE THESE WERE HEAVIER AND 
HEARD COUNTY WITH SOME THUNDER 
AND LIGHTNING BUT IT WAS MOVING 
OVER THE LINE. 
THAT HAS BEEN WEAKENING AND 
WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN IT THEN 
ALSO IN NORTH GEORGIA WE HAD A 
LOT OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING 
AROUND DALTON BUT HASN'T MOVED 
INTO MURRAY COUNTY THEN INTO 
GILMER IT HAS BEEN WEAKENING 
MORE SOME OF THAT MOVING INTO 
UNION WHICH IS A FEW OF THOSE 
LIGHTER SHOWERS THAN WE GOT A 
LOT OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING 
WITH THE STORMS FROM BIRMINGHAM 
SOUTH AND WEST OF BIRMINGHAM. 
THOSE ARE ALSO GOING TO WEAKEN 
AS THEY MOVE INTO AREAS SOUTH 
AND WEST OF US SO KNOW TONIGHT 
THAT MAY BE A COUPLE LITTLE 
SHOWERS AROUND BUT NOTHING 
STRONG, NOTHING SEVERE OF WHAT 
WE ARE EXPECTING THEIR TAKE 
ALIVE LOOK OUT THERE RIGHT NOW 
THIS IS DOWN HERE, WE ARE NOT 
SEEING A LOT OF RAIN DOWN THERE 
THE ROADS ARE LITTLE BIT DAMP 
AS YOU CAN TELL I HAVE KIND OF 
TILTED THE CAMERA DOWN YOU CAN 
SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THE 
REFLECTION THERE OF THE LIGHT 
ON THE ROADS HERE ALSO SHOWING 
THAT THEY ARE DAMP FROM SOME OF 
THE LIGHT RAIN THAT HAS BEEN 
MOVING THROUGH THE COUNTY BUT 
IT'S NOT REALLY HEAVY AT ALL. 
TEMPERATURES ARE STILL ON THE 
MILD SIDE WHERE ANYONE HERE IN 
TOWN DULUTH IS 81, ATHENS IS 
COOLER AT 78 A LOT MORE 70s 
HERE ON THE NORTH SIDE EVEN 70s 
ON THE SOUTH SIDE AT 78 IMPEACH 
STREET CITY. 
TOMORROW ANOTHER GREAT DAY, 
SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD TODAY 
BUT STARTING OFF DRY BUT THEN 
WE WILL SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS 
THAT WILL DEVELOP INTO THE 
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND 
TODAY'S HIGH WAS 89 TOMORROW WE 
HIT 90 AND WE WILL HAVE ABOUT A 
40% CHANCE FOR SOME OF THOSE 
SCATTERED SHOWERS YOU CAN SEE 
WHAT WE ARE WATCHING THE 
ACTIVITY COMING IN FROM THE 
WEST FALLS APART IT WILL BE DRY 
IN THE MORNING BUT A FEW CLOUDS 
AROUND THEN AT LUNCH TIME THAT 
MIX OF SUNSHINE AND CLOUDS AND 
THEN THE AFTERNOON A FEW GREEN, 
SCATTERED SHOWERS. 
A COUPLE OF THOSE LINGERING 
BEFORE THEY FALL APART AND THEN 
THE DRYER AIR COMES IN ON 
WEDNESDAY THAT'S WHEN OUR RAIN 
CHANCE DOESN'T TOTALLY GO AWAY 
BUT AT LEAST IT GOES DOWN TO 
20% YOU CAN SEE WE ARE DRY AT 
LUNCHTIME THEN IN THE AFTERNOON 
NOT A LOT OF RAIN AROUND JUST 
20% CHANCE FOR SOME OF THOSE 
SCATTERED SHOWERS THAN ON 
THURSDAY THE RAIN CHANCES ARE 
GOING TO BE LOWER WITH LESS 
THAN 20% CHANCE FOR SHOWERS WE 
HAVE A TROPICAL DEPRESSION THIS 
IS BASED ON THE 5 PM ADVISORY I 
AM EXPECTING A NEW ADVISORY AND 
AT ANY TIME AND IT IS POSSIBLE 
THIS DEPRESSION COULD BE 
UPGRADED TO A TROPICAL STORM 
WITH THAT UPDATE IF NOT MOST 
LIKELY BY TOMORROW MORNING IT 
WILL BE A TROPICAL STORM THE 
NEXT NAME ON THE LIST IS NOT 
HERE, THE STORM WILL NOT HAVE A 
DIRECT LANDFALL ON THE ATLANTIC 
COASTLINE IT WILL MOVE TO THE 
NORTH AND EAST AND PRETTY MUCH 
STAY A TROPICAL STORM THERE 
THERE ARE COUPLE OF OTHER 
SYSTEMS WE ARE WATCHING ONE OF 
THESE IS OFF THE COAST OF 
AFRICA HAS A LOW RISK OF 
DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT FEW 
DAYS AT ABOUT 30% AND THEN 
ANOTHER ONE IN THE CARIBBEAN 
THIS ONE HAS A HIGHER CHANCE OF 
DEVELOPING ABOUT A 70 TO 80% 
CHANCE AND THEN THE NAME AFTER 
DONNA IS OMAR SO WE ARE MOVING 
THROUGH THAT I THAT THERE 40% 
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS TUESDAY. 
THEN THE RAIN CHANCE LOWER AND 
WEDNESDAY AT 20% LESS THAN 20% 
THURSDAY, BACK UP TO 20% FRIDAY 
AND FOR THE LONG HOLIDAY 
WEEKEND 30-40% CHANCE FOR SOME 
AFTERNOON SHOWERS WITH COOLER 
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED NEXT WEEK 
BACK INTO THE 80s.

EMERGENCY LAST WEEK SHE HAD NO 
DOUBT PJ WOULD COME TO HER 
RESCUE. 
>> HE IS AN EASY-GOING FELLER. 
>> SPEND A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER 
OUTSIDE. 
HE WAS WITH HER LAST WEEK WHEN

WHEELER OR HIS GO-CART OR 
DIRTBIKE UP AND DOWN THE ROAD 
WHILE I AM TRYING TO GET A 
LITTLE EXERCISE IN.

SHAKY.

GETTING TOO LOW.

THAT'S WHEN I GUESS HE SPRUNG 
INTO ACTION. 
>> SHE SAYS HE TOOK OFF WITH A 
SHOT WHILE SHE TRIED TO STEADY 
HERSELF IN THE ROAD. 
>> I WAS LEANING AGAINST THE 
STOP SIGN ALL OF A SUDDEN I 
LOOKED TO MY RIGHT AND I SAW MY 
CAR, MY MERCEDES COMING TOWARDS 
ME. 
WAIT A MINUTE. 
LOOKED IN THE CAR IT WAS HIM. 
IT WAS PJ. 
>> SHE WAS OUT OF IT, BUT EVEN 
DURING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY SHE 
COULD APPRECIATE HOW COOL AND 
COLLECTED HE WAS. 
BEHIND THE WHEEL. 
>> THIS CHILD IS ONLY 11 YEARS 
OLD AND DRIVES LIKE A PRO. 
>> SHE HAD TO TAKE A VIDEO OF 
HIS GUILT AFTER SHE RECOVERED 
BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T BELIEVE 
HOW WELL HE HANDLED THE CAR. 
>> HE DID NOT GO OFF THE CURB 
IN THE GRASS OR NOTHING. 
PULLED DOWN IN THE DRIVEWAY, 
INTO THE GARAGE. 
>> HE RUSHED INSIDE AND GOT HER 
SOME GLUCOSE TABS AND A PACKAGE 
OF PEANUT BUTTER CRACKERS. 
THEN SHE ASKED HIM HOW HE JUST 
DID THAT. 
SHE SAYS HER HUSBAND ASKED HIM 
TO MOVE CARS IN THE YARD BEFORE

NEVER BY HIMSELF. 
SHE IS JUST SO THANKFUL HE WAS 
THERE.

ORDINARY LITTLE BOY AND HE 
DOESN'T ASK FOR NOTHING IN

ANYTHING IN RETURN BUT THEY 
WANTED TO THANK HIM FOR HIS

REWARD AND TO CELEBRATE HIS

>>> THE NEW STUDY HIGHLIGHTS 
MORE DISPARITIES  IN HEALTHCARE 
AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE KIND 
OF CARE THAT BABIES RECEIVE 
AFTER BIRTH. 
IT FOUND THAT BLACK NEWBORNS 
ARE MORE LIKELY TO DIE DURING 
THEIR INITIAL STAY IN THE 
HOSPITAL THAN WHITES NEWBORNS 
BUT IT ALSO SHOWS THAT BLACK 
BABIES HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE OF 
FOR SURVIVAL IF THEY HAVE A 
BLACK DOCTOR. 
JENNIFER BELLAMY HAS MORE ON 
THIS IMPORTANT RESEARCH. 
>> Reporter: A STUDY PUBLISHED 
IN THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE 
NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES 
HAS FOUND IN THE UNITED STATES 
BLACK NEWBORNS DIE AT A RATE 
THAT IS THREE TIMES THAT OF 
WHITES NEWBORNS THAT WHEN BLACK 
DOCTORS CARE FOR BLACK NEWBORNS 
THE RATE OF DEATH WAS CUT IN 
HALF. 
THE STUDY LOOKED AT 1.8 MILLION 
HOSPITAL BIRTHS IN FLORIDA FROM 
1992 TO 2015. 
AND FOUND THE BIGGEST DROP IN 
BLACK NEWBORN DEATHS CAME AMONG 
COMPLEX BIRTHS. 
IN THE HOSPITAL THAT DELIVER 
MORE BLACK BABIES. 
RESEARCHERS SAY THE RACE OF THE 
DOCTOR LOOKING AFTER WHITE 
BABIES DIDN'T MAKE MUCH 
DIFFERENCE IN THEIR CHANCES FOR 
SURVIVAL. 
THE USA TODAY REVIEW OF THE 
STUDY SAYS IT DIDN'T GIVE AN 
EXACT REASON WHY THIS HAPPENS 
BUT IT DID IDENTIFY SOME 
STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT MAY BE 
FACTORS. 
ONE THEORY SUGGESTS BLACK WOMEN 
MAY BE LESS HEALTHY AND THUS AT 
A GREATER RISK FOR NEGATIVE 
OUTCOMES AS A RESULT OF THE 
COMBINED EFFECTS OF RACISM AND 
SOCIOECONOMIC DISADVANTAGES 
THROUGH THE COURSE OF THEIR 
LIVES THAT INCLUDED LIMITED 
ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AND 
EDUCATION FACTORS THAT ALSO PUT 
BLOCKS AT A GREATER RISK FOR 
CONTRACTING COVID-19. 
ANOTHER SIMILAR ISSUE WAS THE  
HIGH RATE OF MATERNAL MORTALITY 
FOR MOTHERS OF COLOR LAST YEAR 
THE CDC SAID BLACK AMERICAN 
INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE WOMEN 
WERE 2-3 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO 
DIE FROM PREGNANCY -RELATED 
CAUSES THAN WHITE WOMEN.

>> EMMA CRADDICK NOMINEE JOE 
BIDEN CONDEMNING VIOLENCE ON 
BOTH SIDES AND BLAMING THE 
PRESIDENT AND HIS FOLLOWERS FOR 
THE GROWING UNREST. 
>> HE MAY BELIEVE THE WORDS LAW 
AND ORDER MAKES HIM STRONG. 
BUT CALLING ON HIS OWN 
SUPPORTERS TO STOP ACTING AS AN 
ARMED MILITIA IN THIS COUNTRY, 
SHOWS HOW WEAK HE IS. 
>> FOR THOSE MOST AFFECTED BY 
THE SHOOTINGS AND CHAOS THE 
ISSUE IS MUCH BIGGER AND RUNS 
MUCH DEEPER THAN CONSERVATIVE 
OR LIBERAL POLITICS. 
WE ARE REALLY JUST SICK AND 
TIRED OF THE VIOLENCE. 
WE ARE TIRED. 
WE DON'T WANT TO SEE MORE OF IT.
WE WANT TO SEE CHANGE. 
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT. 
AND IF WE DON'T START 
RECOGNIZING WHAT THE REAL 
ISSUES ARE IT WILL KEEP 
HAPPENING. 
AND THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE. 
IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. 
>> THE ANGER AND VIOLENCE SEEMS 
TO BE GROWING. 
TRIM FOR THE GOVERNOR OF 
LOUISIANA IS WARNING IT WILL 
TAKE A VERY LONG TIME TO 
RECOVER AND REBUILD AFTER 
HURRICANE LAURA THERE WAS A 
CATEGORY FOUR STORM THAT MADE 
LANDFALL NEAR LAKE CHARLES 150 
MILE-PER-HOUR WINDS AND A BIG 
STORM SURGE THERE WAS 15 FEET 
IN SOME AREAS THE DAMAGE NOW IS 
ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND $20 
BILLION. 
>>>  DAYS AFTER HURRICANE LAURA 
BARRELED THROUGH LOUISIANA AND 
EAST TEXAS THERE IS UTTER 
DEVASTATION ACROSS THE STRIKE 
ZONE. 
>> THE THINGS THAT ARE 
IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHILDREN AND 
ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU ARE JUST 
IN SHAMBLES AND THERE IS WATER 
EVERYWHERE AND YOU THINK TO 
YOURSELF HOW IS THIS REALITY. 
YOU MAKE A HARSH REALITY 
SETTING IN AS RESIDENTS BRACE 
FOR A LONG RECOVERY. 
>> WE HAVE NO ELECTRICITY, IT 
IS HARD TO COOK THINGS SO FOOD 
AND WATER IS AMAZING. 
HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS ARE 
WITHOUT POWER THE, THE 
SWELTERING HEAT MAKING MATTERS 
WORSE. 
>> ACROSS LOUISIANA 
PARTICULARLY THE AFFECTED 
COMMUNITIES, HEAT INDEX WILL BE 
BETWEEN 105 AND 108. 
AND THIS IS GOING TO EXTEND FOR 
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. 
>> THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS SO 
DAMAGED IT COULD TAKE MONTHS 
BEFORE POWER IS FULLY RESTORED. 
VITAL WATERLINES ARE ALSO 
SEVERELY DAMAGED. 
>> HAVE A GOOD DAY. 
>> COMMUNITIES NOW PULLING 
TOGETHER WITH FOOD DRIVES. 
THE NATIONAL GUARD IS ALSO 
PROVIDING AID WHILE MORE THAN 
50,000 PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY 
APPLIED FOR FEMA ASSISTANCE. 
>> WE HAVE MOLD GROWING IN THE 
HOUSE WE LOST ALL OUR FOOD AND 
EVERYTHING. 
YOU KNOW WE JUST NEED SO MUCH 
HELP. 
>> TO COPE SOME RESIDENTS SAY 
THEY ARE TAKING IT ONE DAY AT A 
TIME. 
>> I PRAY A LOT AND I HAVE 
HOPE. 
>> HOPE FOR A REGION BATTERED. 
>>>  WE CONTINUE TO TRACK SOME 
OF THESE LIGHT SHOWERS COMING 
IN FROM ALABAMA A LOT OF THESE 
ARE FALLING APART AS THEY MOVE 
OUR WAY WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF 
SHOWERS ONE OF THESE RIGHT HERE 
JUST SOUTH OF I 20 INSIDE THE 
PERIMETER NOT TOO FAR OFF FROM 
HARTSFIELD JACKSON JUST NORTH 
OF HARTSFIELD RIGHT AROUND 
EASTPOINTE YOU GOT A LITTLE BIT 
OF MODERATE RAIN COMING AND 
ABOUT TO CROSS OVER THE 
DOWNTOWN CONNECTOR WHERE 85 AND 
75 COME TOGETHER HERE ON THE 
SOUTH SIDE THAT IS MOVING OVER 
TO THE EAST THOSE SHOWERS DOWN 
IN THE SOUTH SIDE HAVE FALLEN 
APART THESE IN CARROLL COUNTY 
ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FALLING 
APART MAINLY JUST SOME LIGHT 
RAIN THERE AND IN NORTH GEORGIA 
WITH HAVE YOUR EARLIER THOSE 
SHOWERS MOVING INTO PARTS OF 
UNION COUNTY AND JUST A FEW 
LITTLE LIGHT SPRINKLES AROUND 
IN SOME SPOTS AND THAT'S THE 
TREND WITH THESE OTHER SHOWERS 
IN ALABAMA THEY ARE GOING TO 
CONTINUE FALLING APART 
ESPECIALLY THESE HERE WITH SOME 
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING JUST FROM 
BIRMINGHAM DOWN TO THE SOUTH 
AND WEST THAT IS MOVING EAST 
PUSHING DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND 
EAST THOSE ALSO WILL FALL APART 
AS THEY MOVE IN JUST KNOW THAT 
TONIGHT THERE IS THE POTENTIAL 
FOR A COUPLE LITTLE ISOLATED 
SHOWERS AROUND WE GOT THE 
LATEST IN ON TROPICAL 
DEPRESSION AND IT IS STILL A 
TROPICAL DEPRESSION MAXIMUM 
SUSTAINED WINDS AT 35 MILES PER 
HOUR AND THIS TRUCK STILL KEEPS 
THE STORY MOVING AWAY FROM LAND 
EVEN GOING DOWN TO A TROPICAL 
DEPRESSION WE THINK EARLY ON 
THURSDAY AND THEN A REMNANT LOW 
FOR THE END OF THE WEEK SO NO 
REAL MAJOR IMPACTS WE DON'T 
EXPECT A LANDFALL ON THE 
ATLANTIC COASTLINE AND MAYBE 
JUST SOME ROUGH SURF HERE ALONG 
THE CAROLINA COAST IN THE MID-
ATLANTIC REGION WE ARE ALSO 
WATCHING A SYSTEM OUT TO THE 
WEST COMING OFF THE COAST OF 
AFRICA IT IS STILL OVERLAND 
RIGHT NOW ONCE HE GETS OVER 
WATER IT WILL HAVE ABOUT A 30% 
CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT OVER THE 
NEXT FIVE DAYS BUT ISAAC 
CONTINUES MOVING ACROSS THE 
ATLANTIC WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON 
THAT TO SEE IF IT WILL DEVELOP 
THIS IS THE NEXT ONE THAT HAS 
BETTER POTENTIAL AFTER THIS 
TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS ONE 
COULD BECOME A TROPICAL SYSTEM 
AFTER THAT AS WELL IT'S GOT A 
70 TO 80% CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT 
NOW THE NEXT NAME ON THE LIST 
IS THIS ONE WE THINK THAT WILL 
BE THIS ONE IF IT BECOMES A 
TROPICAL STORM TONIGHT BUT IF 
THAT ONE DELAYS IN THE COMING 
OF A TROPICAL STORM AND IS ONE 
BECOMES A TROPICAL STORM THEN 
THAT WILL BE IT IN THE NAME 
AFTER THAT IS OMAR. 
WE WILL KEEP WATCHING THIS IN 
FACT YOU CAN SEE THESE NAMES 
HERE WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT 
OF THEM LAURA OF COURSE IS THE 
LAST ONE TO MAKE LANDFALL MARCO 
ALSO MADE LANDFALL BEFORE LAURA 
DID. 
BUT THESE ARE THE NEXT TWO 
NAMES. 
YOU SEE THE OTHER ONES 
PAULETTE, RENI, TEDDY, VICKI 
AND WILFRED IF WE GET THROUGH 
WILFRID AND WE RUN OUT OF NAMES 
ON THIS YEAR'S LIST THEN WE 
WILL GO TO THE GREEK ALPHABET 
AFTER THAT WE DID THAT BACK OH 
GOSH WAS IT 2005 I THINK WE 
ALSO HAD TO GO TO THE GREEK 
ALPHABET BUT WE RAN OUT OF 
NAMES ALL RIGHT HERE'S A LOOK 
AT THE TROPICAL TIMELINE YOU 
KNOW WE HAVE THE BEGINNING OF 
HURRICANE SEASON ON JUNE 1 AND 
IT GOES THROUGH NOVEMBER 30 
WITH THE PEAK TIME IS SEPTEMBER 
10 SO WE ARE AT THAT TIME OF 
YEAR HERE AT THE END OF AUGUST 
BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER WHERE WE 
ARE AT THE PEAK TIME OF 
HURRICANE SEASON BEFORE THINGS 
START TO GO DOWN AS WE GO 
THROUGH THE REST OF SEPTEMBER 
AND ALSO INTO OCTOBER AND OF 
COURSE THE SEASON ENDS ON 
OCTOBER 30. 
WE WILL HOLD ONTO 40% CHANCE 
FOR SHOWERS TOMORROW AFTERNOON 
AND A HIGH OF 90 DEGREES AND 
LOWER RAIN CHANCES HOW ABOUT 
THAT? 
20% CHANCE WEDNESDAY LESS THAN 
20% CHANCE THURSDAY. 
THAT'S A 20% FRIDAY. 
IN A 30-40% CHANCE FOR SHOWERS 
SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND MONDAY FOR 
THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND NOT A 
WASHOUT. 
AFTERNOON SHOWERS COOLING BACK 
TO THE 80s FOR SUNDAY AND 
MONDAY IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE 
COOLER NEXT WEEK WITH MORE OF 
THOSE 80s. 
>>>  ALL RIGHT SPORTS ON THIS 
MONDAY NIGHT NO DEALS FOR THE 
BRAVES TODAY AS MAJOR LEAGUE 
BASEBALL'S TRADING DEADLINE 
CAME AND WENT THE PICKUP OF 
PITCHER TOMMY MALONE ON SUNDAY 
WILL HAVE TO DO FOR NOW WITH 
ONE MONTH LEFT IN THE REGULAR 
SEASON. 
THE EXPANDED PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR 
FOUR MORE TEAMS ARE IN THE 
PLAYOFF RACE WHICH MEANS FEWER 
TEAMS ARE WILLING TO SELL. 
>>>  THERE ARE SOME MAYBE 
ACTIVE IN SOME YOU DON'T LINE 
UP AND YOU DON'T MAKE DEALS AND 
OBVIOUSLY EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE 
ABLE TO MAKE DEALS AND PROVE TO 
THE TEAM BUT YOU KNOW, SHORT-
TERM LONG-TERM ALL THOSE KINDS 
OF THINGS AND YOU HAVE TO WEIGH 
WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT. 
>> MAX ON THE MOUNT ANOTHER 
SOLID START REALLY NASTY STUFF 
TONIGHT FIVE INNINGS FIVE 
STRIKEOUTS TRYING TO GET THE 6-
0 WITH THAT TONIGHT THE GAME 
WAS TIED AT TWO IN THE FIFTH 
AUSTIN RILEY UP BASES-LOADED HE 
DROVE IT INTO RIGHT JUST 
MISSING A GRAND SLAM INSTEAD IT 
WOULD TURN INTO A THREE RUN 
TRIPLE BRAVES RIGHT NOW LEADING 
6-3 AS THEY PLAY IN THE BOTTOM 
OF THE NINTH INNING. 
>>> IT IS DEFINITELY WEIRD 
WATCHING THE U.S. OPEN AND NOT 
SEEING  ANY FANS. 
YOU KNOW, BASEBALL IS LIKE THAT 
AS WELL I GUESS WE HAVE TO 
ACCEPT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE 
COMPETITION WHICH WE WOULD BE 
GRATEFUL FOR THAT ALL THINGS 
CONSIDERED BUT FANS MAKE SUCH A 
BIG PART OF IT DON'T THEY? 
WHETHER IT IS TENNIS OR GOLF OR 
BASEBALL BUT YOU KNOW, JOHN 
TONIGHT PLAYING A MARATHON MATCH
AT THE U.S. OPEN AND HE TOOK ON 
FELLOW AMERICAN STEVE JOHNSON 
IN THE FIRST ROUND. 
AND OF COURSE THEY WENT TO FIVE 
SETS OF COURSE THAT FIFTH SET 
WENT TO A TIEBREAKER AND IN A 
MATCH THAT TOOK NEARLY 4 HOURS 
WHICH IS NORMAL BY JOHN'S 
STANDARDS IT IS JOHNSON WINNING 
THE TIEBREAKER 7-3 SO HE IS 
STAYING THERE SHORT, HE WINS IN 
FIVE SETS ADVANCES TO THE 
SECOND ROUND THERE IS NOTHING I 
WANT TO DO FOR FOUR HOURS QUITE 
FRANKLY. 
AS THE ATTENTION SPAN OF AN 
INSECT. 
COCO EXPLODED ONTO THE NATIONAL 
TENNIS SCENE LAST YEAR NOW A 16-
YEAR-OLD SHE RETURNED TO THE 
U.S. OPEN FIRST ROUND MATCH 
AGAINST ANASTASIA, WON THE 
SECOND THE THIRD SET VERY CLOSE 
A LOT OF DRAMA BUT THIS TURNS 
OUT TO BE THE DAY AND SHE WINS 
THE THIRD 6-4 SO GOFF'S 2020 
U.S. OPEN ENDS IN THE FIRST 
ROUND. 
>>> FOR LESS THAN TWO'S AWAY 
FROM THE OPENING SUNDAY FOR THE 
NFL SEASON HARD TO BELIEVE.  
HARD TO BELIEVE THAT TOMORROW 
IS SEPTEMBER 1 ALSO, THE 
FALCONS ARE GOING TO HOST THE 
SEAHAWKS KNOW FANS AND MERCEDES-
BENZ STADIUM FOR THAT ONE. 
BUT THE GAME OF COURSE WILL 
STILL COUNT BEFORE THE TEAM CAN 
START SIMULATING SEATTLE IT IS 
STILL NEEDING A FEW MORE DAYS 
OF WORKING AGAINST EACH OTHER. 
ALCAN VERSUS FALCON ON THE 
PRACTICE FIELD. 
>> FORMER DAYS OF US STAYING IN 
THIS MODE I REALLY GOING HARD 
AND THAT IS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER 
SIMPLY TO GET OUR CONDITIONING 
AND TIMING RIGHT THE ACCURACY, 
ALL OF THOSE THINGS. 
>> FORMER HIGH SCHOOL STAR 
ALVIN IS NOT WITH THE SAINTS 
RIGHT NOW DURING THE TRAINING 
CAMP ESP AND REPORTING IT IS AN 
UNEXCUSED ABSENCE AND IT IS 
RELATED TO HIS CONTRACT HE IS 
SET TO MAKE $2.1 MILLION IN THE 
FINAL YEAR OF HIS ROOKIE 
CONTRACT. 
THAT IS SPORTS. 
WE WILL END IT
>>> JUST A FEW AREAS 
>>> JUST A FEW AREAS OF SHOWER 
ACTIVITY WE ARE WATCHING MOVING 
THROUGH QUICKLY OVERNIGHT  
NOTHING BAD NOTHING WITH ANY 
STRONG STORMS OR ANYTHING BUT 
THEN TOMORROW AFTERNOON 
SCATTERED SHOWERS REDEVELOP WE 
HAVE SOME DRIER AIR COMING IN 
FOR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND 
FRIDAY WITH MUCH LOWER RAIN
