Vice President Harris visits Georgia in Hurricane Helene aftermath

Vice President Kamala Harris is in Georgia today, following the devastation of Hurricane Helene. More than 400,000 Georgia customers are still without power.

ATLANTA — More than 400,000 Georgia customers are still without power Wednesday as Vice President Kamala Harris plans to visit parts of the state where Hurricane Helene’s wrath was felt worst.

The storm pummeled South Georgia before it raged on across the state, ultimately leaving at least 25 Georgians dead and up to 1.3 million homes in the dark at its peak. The highest concentrations of outages are centered around Augusta, Savannah and Valdosta.

Georgia Power assured customers Wednesday morning that restoration efforts are continuing “around the clock.”
