As the remnants of Delta scattered across the Mississippi Valley into Sunday morning, power outages and isolated bursts of severe weather spawned by the storm spread as far east as Georgia.
Delta, a former Category 4 hurricane in the Caribbean and then a major hurricane at Category 3 force later on as it churned across the Gulf of Mexico, became a tropical depression by Saturday afternoon as it passed through western Mississippi, unloading heavy rain as it drifted to the north. Its maximum sustained winds were 30 mph.
Power outages topped out at 800,000 at the peak of the storm as it raged inland.
