Things that were revealed in E8

Some items revealed by Cal's hidden notes, if you paused and read when Xavier was flipping through in the library:

As many as 55 million Americans have survived.

The forests are recovering in Oregon, but there was a massive migration eastward.

The temperatures are super low. In Colorado they reported the temperature as -10 degrees in June (farenheit I guess?). In Oregon and New Hampshire temperatures were in the 40's and getting warmer. Suggests the sky is clearing from the combined volcanic ash/nuclear fallout.

There is a survivors community in St. Louis, they set up in Meramac caverns and grew a minimal crop by filtering water from the Mississippi.

There is a large survivor community in Atlanta with agriculture and trade. Transmissions were recieved from Dobbins AFB.
