Hurricane Helene Devastates Southeast, Leaving Thousands Without Power and Communities in Recovery

Hurricane Helene has wreaked havoc across the Southeast, particularly affecting areas in Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas. With over 2 million customers experiencing power outages, utility companies are working diligently to restore electricity, although many remain without power days after the storm's passing. In Georgia, nearly 350,000 residents are still in the dark, while counties like Columbia and Richmond report significant damage. Efforts are underway in Madison County and other areas to aid recovery, with local mayors prioritizing rebuilding efforts. Satellite images reveal the vast impact of the outages, and power restoration updates indicate that while progress has been made, many communities continue to struggle with basic necessities. Federal aid has been approved to assist in the recovery efforts, as local organizations and electric cooperatives mobilize to provide support where it is most needed.
