‘Georgia facing life-threatening conditions as storm churns overhead’

Hurricane Helene has weakened to a tropical storm as it moves north across Georgia, causing widespread power outages in the southeastern U.S. Florida has lifted some hurricane and tropical storm warnings, but storm surge warnings remain in place for certain areas. Over 2 million people are without power in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. The National Hurricane Center warns of a “life-threatening situation” in Georgia as Helene brings high winds and heavy rain. Despite avoiding a direct hit, Tallahassee, Florida faces potential risks from the storm’s impact. The damage caused by Helene’s powerful Category 4 winds is still being assessed, with power infrastructure at risk of long-term damage. Residents are advised to stay indoors and away from windows as the storm continues to move through the region.
