slight risk over oklahoma and texas and moving across the mississippi and tennessee river tomorrow, hailng wind and tornados. then watch this area of low pressure develop and move up toward the east, we'll see coastal low bringing potential for interior section snow and coastal rain. we could see snow across the great lakes after record-setting warmth. heavy rain in the forecast, flash flooding is a concern for the i-95 corridor, areas hit hard by rain. definitely prepare for that and interior sections could see good snow. here is what we're looking at tomorrow, snow across great lakes and upper midwest and area of low pressure develop as it moves toward east coast starting off as rain and on the backside we're going to see significant snow for parts of the appalachian and interior sections. i wish we were getting a little bit of snow, we are sick of the rain. yeah, that is something that will delay travel. >> carley: still chance for a white christmas. >> janice: probably a better chance. for new york, i don't think we're going to have a white christmas. >> todd: stay inside this weeken

as an eighth grader because i was required to, and then when i retired i took my boat down the tennessee riverup the mississippi, to about the iowa line and came down and tried to float and of course we have dams now and locks they didn't have. but it was a wild river. i'm just curious, there was a certain piece to me on traveling that, i did about three weeks. i'm curious, i find the river is a place of relaxation. i want to know what y'all thought. >> thank you, sir we appreciate that. when did you do that? >> year and a half ago. >> wow. ok. thanks. >> there's a travel writer,than rabon who got himself a raft, couldn't even get a proper raft, it was more like a small boat he decided to go down the mississippi, simulating huck and jim's trip, he was terrified most of the time to go down that river in 18 40's, in a raft, occasionally a canoe. the peril as well as the sense of confidence, the sense of beauty, the god-like status of the river. that was in the book too. thank you, good perspective. important one to bring in. >> there were other books on the library of congress' list of books tha

but rivers are the one way you can penetrate the confederate heartland and especially tennessee. the cumberland river really leads right to nashville, and that's a major confederate supply depot. and so losing middle tennessee is disastrous. and so brad graham has a lot to answer for as he maneuvers through the tennessee mountains down chattanooga. but he gets there and begins to reposition and reinforce his army. and james longstreet is on his way from the army of northern virginia. but as longstreet's chief artillery supporter alexander points out in his memoirs, instead of waiting for longstreet's entire corps to arrive, bryan brings on a battle with rosecrans before long trades artillery is even off the train. five of longstreet's brigades remain out of range of the fight, but bragg brings on the fight. and alex ender was not upset at bragg for this. he was upset at early on it as polk, and we all know why because polk was told to launch his attacks at daylight during the battle and bragg wakes up and hears no sounds of gunfire, fighting or anything, and he dispatches an aide

tennessee. >> reporter: now, this property, kelly, is called twin rivers farm it's 282 acres outside of nashvilletable glass roof with a 10,000 square foot main house with five bedrooms, a movie theater, and a secret panel that leads to a secret game room and a wine vault. the price tag for all that luxury, $65 bilmillion. if it sold for that price, that would be more than twice the all-time record for nashville. >> robert, obviously i have some friends from nashville during the pandemic talked to a few people out here who were relocating there. and we had these -- a bunch of financial firms. there's some with big presences out in nashville, as well. so if anything, it was the kind of growth that made people who had lived there for a while wonder about the ongoing availability of real estate. i'm curious what the dynamic is for the rest of their real estate market and whether it's holding up or reversing at all? >> reporter: the overall market, the prices for the median house here is now $450,000. it's about 40% higher than prepandemic. prices have softened a little bit. you started to see a litt

river valley. take a look at that, barreling across tennessee. we'll have an update when we come back. there. this is in northwest tennessee. a massive tornado hitting the state. officials there urging drivers to stay off the roads for that reason right there. that tornado passing right in front of a storm chaser. at least three people have been injured as a result of these tornadoes. that's just the early estimate. so far this tornado is part of a massive storm system traveling through eastern states as it moves across the country. i mean, that paints a picture for us right there. my goodness. to see a tornado cross a roadway like that with just total destruction. just absolutely remarkable, what we just saw there. >> and what has been incredible about this is that we're seeing video like that. not just out of clarksville. we are waiting in the morning, now that it's dark out. by the morning we'll see what will probably be catastrophic damage out of some of the suburbs of nashville, just north of nashville. so far we have about 15 tornado reports. that means just sightings. the number will g

campaigns, middle tennessee, perryville, even in in the shenandoah valley up here in the east, gettysburg campaign, the navy's not involved because there's no water and maybe a few little rivers and or whatnot. but with the mississippi river being right smack in middle of this whole campaign, the navy becomes extremely important and this complicated a little bit by the fact the brown water navy, as it's called, the blue water navy being the big ocean going ships, but the river ironclad, the gunboats tend in clouds and in timber clouds and so on. they will initially be under the army's. so at fort henry for donaldson, the army could command flag. officer foote, we need you to do this go do this and and could balk a little bit but he ultimately had to do it in the fall of 62, the navy those vessels to the navy or, lincoln transfers the vessels to the navy. and so they're no longer under army command. and so that relationship between grant and porter is absolutely critical because grant wins. porter over almost, almost immediately. and so porter do not everything there's some example elsewhere where he won't you know, do some things grant won't. but by and large, like, you know,
