When will power be restored in Georgia?

Around 14,000 crew members are working to restore power in Georgia, according to a social media post from Georgia Power.

"We are continuing to work around the clock to restore power for our customers quickly and safely," Georgia Power said.

Efforts are underway to restore power to customers after the storm, according to a press release from Georgia Power, who added that there is "the potential for further damage and power outages that could occur due to the saturated ground and weakened trees."

In the Valdosta area, around 73 miles northeast of Tallahassee, there are 31,275 customers affected by 180 power outages, according to Georgia Power's outage map. Power is expected to return to the area by Saturday, Oct. 5.

In the Atlanta area, there are 54 outages affecting 418 customers. The power company is currently assessing the estimated restoration time.

When did Helene make landfall?

Helene made landfall in Florida's Big Bend on Thursday as a Category 4 hurricane before it weakened to a tropical depression and barreled through the Southeast.

At least 61 people across all five states have died, according to the Weather Channel.

The storm also caused historic flooding across multiple states and caused between $15 to $26 billion in property damage, most of which spans across Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.
