Hurricane Helene left a path of devastation across Georgia, transforming communities overnight. After making landfall as a Category 4 storm in Florida, the hurricane barreled into Georgia, causing widespread damage. Winds tore roofs off homes, uprooted trees, and knocked out power for over a million residents.
The storm claimed at least 15 lives in Georgia, with many still trapped by debris in hard-hit areas like Valdosta. As recovery efforts begin, residents face the overwhelming task of rebuilding what was lost.
Emergency responders still racing to clear roads and restore utilities. Communities are slowly assessing the extent of the destruction, but the immediate future will involve cleanup and recovery.
