Devastating flooding and even though the storm has weakened to a tropical storm since making Land Fall official, say that its still poses a deadly threat to take a very seriously. So far, six states have declared a State Of Emergency millions of people across the region are without power and at least seven stormrelated deaths have been reported. At any minute. Now were going to hear from Governor Roy Cooper about the storms impact in North Carolina. But for first i want to bring in Isabel Rosales and asheville, North Carolina as well. Were getting these reports of catastrophic flooding there. What are you seeing pam, lets move the camera. He shall see it for yourself right here. The amount of debris that these floodwaters are just up bringing into whats a road right here looking at it as this was a Metal Propane Tank of some sort that was another one back there looking at Garbage Bags back here some sort of a metal container. It is just incredible what these floodwaters are dragging through this city of asheville and back there toward the gas station, you can see its reaching the governor of North Carolina right now. Lets listen in Lives Helene is causing lifethreatening Flash Flooding. Numerous landslides and downed trees, causing power Outages Flooding will continue through the weekend and some areas and may even occur in areas that dont typically flood with the grain that they had already been experiencing before Helenes Arrival this is one of the worst storms in modern history for parts of Western Rule Carolina the end of the rain is not the end of the threat. This fierce storm will move out of our state in the next 24 hours but the danger will not be over tropical Storm Force winds that border on Hurricane Strength are happening right now across western North Carolina trees are falling causing widespread Power Outages. As of this morning, over 879,000 estimated Power Outages across our state were also currently aware of 290 close roads for the people in western North Carolina do not travel unless there is an emergency because conditions are continuing to worsen people in western North Carolina. I should consider all roads closed unless you are seeking higher ground. For much of our state, theres also the continued potential for tornadoes with this storm system. They can quickly spin up with little warning i urge people to stay informed listen to local radio, tv, and local Emergency Response officials sadly, our hearts are heavy as we report to deaths one and Catawba County due to a Motor Vehicle Collision on a flooded roadway and one in charlotte due to a tree falling on home. There will be more as we know, this storm is continuing across our state. We are working to try to prevent as many as we possibly can and in all parts of our state where there is flooding. Remember, do not drive through floodwaters. As ive said, so many times, weve lost too many north carolinians whove driven into floodwaters so turn around, dont drown the state Emergency Response teams efforts will continue to work with local officials and support impacted Communities Today and throughout the weekend our State Search and rescue teams are being assisted from teams for more than a dozen other states. And im deeply grateful for their work to save lives currently, we are aware of over 100 swiftWater Rescues since the beginning of this event but we know there will be many more are Emergency Management Team here and in counties across the state are continuing to deploy resources strategically to save lives and to strengthen the response for counties and cities numerous evacuations have been ordered in areas likely to flood. If youre told to evacuate, please get out of the danger zone. There are about 15 shelters available in more will be added keep yourself informed as we bear the brunt of the storm to protect yourself and your families we know no carolinians are strong and our first responders are the best in the nation im thankful for their hard work if are risking their lives to protect all north carolinians today, im joined by Emergency Management Director Will Re our secretary of the Department Of Public Safety at a buffalo the Adjutant General of the North Carolina national guard, major general Todd Hunt Chief operating officer of the new Uk Carolina Department of transportation. Chris peoples, the commander of the North Carolina state highway patrol, colonel Friday Johnson fema, field coordinating officer craig levy, are Sign Language interpreters, are Brian Tipton and behind the scenes are Spanish Language interpreters are yasmine, the Tibia And Erica Crew Kugler at this time, ill ask Director Wray for his update. Well cooper. Cooper. And good morning, everyone. North carolina is currently experiencing the impacts of helene, which will continue into saturday as we said yesterday, north carolinians should remain informed, have a plan in place to protect your family, and should take this storm seriously. The state Emergency Response team remains fully activated today in our operational priority continues to be on supporting our impacted local jurisdictions across the state we continue to have our public sector, private sector, nonprofits and Volunteer Agencies here at the eeoc and working in community, communities across the state since yesterday, we have seen lifethreatening Flash Flooding, landslides, and downed trees primarily across the foothills and mountains of North Carolina. Areas of our state, particularly in the west, have seen immense Rainfall Totals already as we go into this afternoon, we will continue to see rainfall across the state with Weather Conditions improving over the course of the Afternoon And Evening there remains a severe Weather Threat to central and eastern North Carolina where tornadoes and heavy downpours are expected for those that are in floodprone areas please make sure you are informed that you have a plan of action too quickly evacuate if necessary, and that you are receiving information from reliable sources, such as local Emergency Management offices and the national Weather Service with such significant rainfall, Water Levels, and flooding in the North Carolina mountains can rapidly change and can create a substantial threat to life many counties in western North Carolina have ordered evacuations to save lives. It is imperative that all residents in evacuation zones, please leave and move to a safer location please avoid traveling if at all possible, particularly in the mountains in foothills if you must travel, please visit, drive and si. Gov to check roadway status. This website is updated regularly by the department of transportation. As of this morning as the governor said, there are over 290 roadways that are closed in our state from impacts supposed listening to officials there and North Carolina as they talk about all the Damage Weve seen so far from helene in that state, we heard the governor give a very clear warning that even though the storm is expected to move out over the next 24 hours that the damage will continue with record flooding. He said it was one of the worst storms in modern history for parts of North Carolina so far he said at least two deputy believes that number will rise as helene traverses its a state i want to go back to Isabel Rosales because isabel, you are right there and you can really see the impact of helene behind you right before the Press Conference, we saw a Propane Tank just floating by in the waters. How high is the water there yeah its incredible the amount of floodwater by The Way, the governor is totally right, just because the rain leaves the area and we are starting to see that Rain Ease up. It doesnt mean the threat is over. This will continue to be a deeply impactful event here in this community for hours to come, because all of this floodwater has to go back into will go back into the rivers and the streams and continue to swell the bank. So look right over here just incredible imagery. This is maybe a Power Pole Right here, a Metal Barrel down that way. And by The Way, pam, inside this brick building, theres a man there that i saw him speaking on the phone, perhaps looking a little bit distressed, gave him the thumbs up. He said hes okay, but i would think that hes stuck in their i i cant see how hed be able to get there. He is. I cant see how hed be able to get out of there right now. Yeah but at least hes got cover. Im standing on higher ground here at a courtyard so i can look down and oversee whats happening, but it is just incredible. The Buncombe County had a Press Conference that they just wrapped up in the last hour. They said that this is going to be the most significant Natural Disaster that they have ever seen. And what lets stern, a North Carolina, in fact, there theyre comparing it to the floods of 1916, an event that is known here historically, but nobody really has a memory of that. That is the last time that they have seen something of this magnitude right now, theyre saying, please dont travel on these roads are saying quote, consider all roads closed because this is extremely dangerous, not to mention Flash Flooding that can unpredictably overwhelmed somebody, especially somebody whos been driving this situation, theyre saying is only expected to get worse. They have done here and Buncombe County, 50 Water Rescues and counting this is still a very active situation, but again, its just incredible whats happening, the combination of this rainfall Wednesday Nothing to do with helene, a totally different system, eight plus inches of Rain Falling by the time that helene has done theyre expecting over 21 inches of rain so the ground has been saturated before we ever saw any impacts from helene. And then theres the Swannanoa River just a couple of blocks down that way in that direction. Thats normally two to four feet deep while its gone up over eight feet and thats also expected to go to 20 feet. Have all of these combinations and not to mention the fact that asheville is like at the bottom of this mountain range, right . The Fire Rescue Chief said that its essentially a Catch Basin for all of this water. All of these factors leading to a very dangerous situation catastrophic flooding is what forecasters are calling for here. Pamela yeah. Just looking behind you. I mean, you can look at the Stop Sign and see how high the water is, several feet high and all the Debris Going by. You looked like you said a powerful Propane Tank and then the resident there, it stuck in that building and seemingly as the waters rise, very concerning for him, we hope he is okay. You stay safe theyve to isabel. Thank you for bringing us the latest.

A cnn special event, the Vice President ial debate, tuesday at nine Land Mayor telling cnn that he wants people to stay off the roads, right now as the region expects, more flooding, helene roared into Metro Atlanta early this morning as a powerful tropical storm. And look right here, this is a video of a Swiftwater Rescue Team getting a family and their pet to safety more than two dozen people had to be rescued i want to bring in Cnns Nick Valencia and ride young. Ryan. Lets go to you first i mean, whats going on where you are . It looks like youre standing right there in the thick of it in the water yeah. This has been amazing to watch overnight as the water has come just from all over, theres a Creek Nearby and its obviously made an impact in this community. This is one of the communities where our rescue did need to happen overnight. You see that car right there at one point the water was above that back wiper. And even as i stand out here now, the water is starting to recede, but there are plenty of people who are stuck on the second floor waiting for this water to go down and make its way out so they can start walking so as i push my way through here, you have to understand there are more than 25 rescues overnight more than ten inches of rain have dropped in the last 24 hours in atlanta. This has made it very difficult, especially for Rescue Crews, when a Fire Department doing a great job to get out there to save people, theres even a woman right here with her daughters its trying to make the decision about taking her pet out there more than a dozen cars that have been destroyed because of all this rainfall, because of this flooding. Will those conversations that will go on and on but this is some of the impact we overnight, frank yeah. I mean, its just so striking to see these rescue videos. You just saw a woman on the screen with olinda baby. You said a woman with her dog i mean, everyones trying to get out as we see those waters there, that flooding nic, i want to go to you. What are you seeing . While some pretty terrifying moments overnight, but there are a lot of residents here in atlanta that are breathing that sigh of relief. You could see this creek here that ryan was talking about, Peach Tree Creek during intense rains. Theres a lot of severe Weather Systems that come through here and this creek does flood. But absolutely nothing like this. And its just in the last five years that now officials have built this sort of Reinforcement Structure to keep the water from spilling into these neighborhoods. But it was really not enough for the overnight hours. You see this waterflow. It was absolutely terrifying this morning for the owner of that white Sedan Angelina Madueke was on her way back from norcross bakery. She was working the overnight thanks. Shift. And before you give her a hard time about being on the roads, a lot of americans like her that just cant afford to miss a day of work her employer didnt close work even though they knew the storm was coming and she tried to drive through this subdivision at sic this six this morning, it was dark. She didnt realize that it was covered and submersion water. And before she knew it her her car and lost traction and then wasnt able to grab the grapple. The roads are a grip to the roads, i should say luckily, because this area has been so active, a lot of News Crews had set up around here one of them, a former colleague of ours, bob than dylan, he was a meteorologist on hln. He saw angelina waved down for help. He gets into the water, waiting and waist deep. Theres Video Online he actually was able to pull angelina out of the Water And Rescue her. She was reunited with her husband a couple of hours later, we were supposed to have her husband on air, but right now, there are just so shaken up there. Grateful theyre thanking Bob Dylan for saving their life. An absolutely remarkable story here. Another one of those rescues that weve been talking about, there have been deaths across the state here still havent been able to verify just how many deaths across the state of georgia, but for how significant the impact was expected to be here, a lot of people here just thankful that it was not worse. You have residents in the area that are coming out to look at this creek that is clearly swollen and swelled over and poured water into this area. But a lot of kids here smiles on their face. Theyre happy to be you know, out of school and outofschool. But one of the local schools here we understand is underwater right now. So going back into this area you could just see the impact that the water system, the water has had here in this area about two to three feet of water in this area, theres other locations throughout that are suffering the same kind of damage. But again, the Drainage System here in the city he not the best. So this water here, even though officials are thankful that the rain has stopped, its probably going to take some time before these Water Levels get back to normal, pamela. Oh, my god. What a story that was you told though nic off to find that video, what he said was online, but were so grateful that woman is okay and that our former colleague stepped in to save her oh wow that is. Scary and i cant believe that. I mean, the her employer wanted them to come to Work Today in a situation like this, thats another story. Alright. Nick valencia. Thank you so much, ryan young. Thank you as well still ahead this hour, hurricane Helenes Landfall brought Record Storm Surge to parts of florida and it doesnt look like this water is going anywhere.

And this is cnn from tallahassee to tampa bay, much of Floridas Gulf Coast is dealing with helenes aftermath. This morning Record Storm Surge has loved entire communities underwater. Lets bring in cnns Carlos Suarez and gulfport, florida. What are you seeing there, carlos pamela, good morning. So we are inside of a restaurant here in gulfport that was basically destroyed by the strong surge and the intense kind of the wins that we saw last night yesterday. So this is what it looks like right now. You can see exactly where everything inside this restaurant was just pushed up against each other because of the about six to eight feet of Storm Surge that pushed in here. If you can go to your left here, i can show you just how close this restaurant is to the bay here that part there yesterday began inching in closer to this area around two or 3 00 in the afternoon. And by about eight and 9 00 at night, the water was probably about but as high as that mark right there where you see that kind of exposed wall right there. We spoke to the owner of this place just a few minutes ago and she was telling us that they had just finished some repairs from last years hurricane. Ive been here for three years now covering three different hurricanes. And weve always come to Pinellas County here. In fact, weve always seen this restaurant because every every single time a storm either threatens the area, comes really close to it, or even in years past where its actually had a more of a direct impact, this place has always been damaged and so we spoke to the owner. She told us, look, ive got about 20 employees. Im going to try and reopen again, but here i am another year where im dealing with another hurricane. This one well offshore did not have a direct impact in Pinellas County. And yet this is what it looks like. Shes not entirely sure just when theyll be able to reopen, but shes determined pam, to get this place back in order because she says ive been here for nearly 15 years and this is my livelihood. She has her family and her friends are here and she plans on rebuilding here. And thats kind of the sentiment weve heard from folks up and down. This part of gulfport. They know these hurricanes. Theyve weathered them before. I think their biggest surprise is the fact that this last storm was so large and even though it was so far west that we saw the kind of Storm Surge that we saw yesterday. Pam, we were in this very location for a good part of yesterday, and then late in the afternoon, it was unsafe for us to stay here. The water from the bay just kept just surging in and we had to seek higher Ground And Pamela just shows you how powerful the storm was as it was near you and it just turned that grill upside down and just to think about rebuilding, wow, thats thats inspiring, that they have that motivation to take what has happened, rebuild knowing that it could very well happen again with another hurricane are powerful storm, michael helene, carlos. Thank you so much. Were also getting some new video into cnn of more Water Rescues this time from clearwater, florida. As first responders worked through waste deep water to get people to safety.

Look at this Destruction Right out of Cedar Key debris scattered everywhere, even though its a little dark here in the video, you can still see all the damage joining us now is Keith Turi from fema as office of response and recovery. Were just getting these remarkable images dangerous. Has helene been and continues to be at this hour, keith obviously a very large storm, will bring it range of hazards not only to florida, but as all The Way up through georgia, south carolina, North Carolina, and eventually into kentucky and tennessee ranged from Storm Surge for a risks damaged from wins and significant Riverine Flooding and Flash Flooding that were seeing. So very dangerous storm that is still currently impacting a number of areas. And so were the message really needs to be, this isnt over from a life safety perspective, really need to make sure theyre listening to their local officials those heating those warnings and staying safe as the storm continues to move north, just looking at these images, it really just tells the story of the damage left behind by helene there in Cedar Key, florida and even as the storm moves out to places such as North Carolina, its expected to move out and 24 hours over the next one 24 hours, you know, you heard the governor there warn that the threat will continue even after it moves out, help us better understand why that is yeah, theres a range of reasons why people think that as the Storm Passes, the hazards will decrease. Its not necessarily true. A lot of the fatalities and injuries that happened from these types of storms happen after this Storm Passes and that can be from in North Carolina, from Riverine Flooding, thats going water still has to move downstream. Some areas where it didnt rain as much could flood as the water moves downstream. But you also have risks associated with down Power Lines, with floodwaters and what were walking through, driving through floodwaters are even operating a generator and making we sure that you do that safely and keep that away from your home. So theres definitely a number of hazards that are going to remain from the storm. And again, the rainfall is going to continue tomorrow into tennessee and kentucky. So we still have some ways to go with this one. Yeah. We were just at a live shot with one of our correspondence and she was talking about the flooding there. And as she was there, there was a all kinds of debris floating by including what looked like a downed Power Line and you have to ask the question about the concern of possible electrocution for residents in these circumstances . Absolutely i mean, there are a lot of dangerous in those floodwaters. Things you can see and sometimes things you cant see that are, that are going under the surface. And so really need to stay out of those floodwaters. Make sure you get to a safe place. Local officials will help you understand what those safe locations are. But also check on your neighbors and loved ones. This is a time where we all need to stick together. And so really safety and being really, really diligent as the messenger for today and into okt this incredible video. Again in Cedar Key, florida and obviously florida has had its fair share of hurricanes, tropical storms, what has been a defining feature of this storm in your view . I think that the size of the storm was one of the most unique things for this particular hurricane as it was so large, the wind field, a tropical stormforce winds when her and 50 miles from the center. And that meant that even though landfall is going to be in the big bend, you also had that wind pushing water up into the into the western coast of florida. And so the size of the Storm Surge the range, the range in which we saw the winds and the hazards. And of course, the number of states that are going to be impacted. This is going to be one that wont be were working on and recovering from for some time and i definitely has to be unique characteristics to it. And what is your advice to residents digging out of this and just what theyre facing ahead yeah. I think first again, as we said, make sure you stay safe, make sure you check in your neighbors if you have damage, we want to make sure you document that damage. Make sure you understand it. Take pictures of what has occured. If you have an Insurance Claim of course, thats going to be as we continue to do assessments, we have Emergency Declarations that have been declared and all of those states by the president additional types of assistance maybe turned on here in the coming days as we continue to work with our state and local partners, we keep that documentation. We might be able to be able to benefit from some additional type of assistance. But also its going to be a long road. And this is a difficult time, as you mentioned, some of these areas have had multiple storms over the last number of years. And so making sure that we stay with these folks and help them through whats going to be a long road of recovery it certainly will be Keith Turi. Thank you so much. And now we can go to the Panama City Beach Mayor stewart, Tell Him more. He is here with us and tell us whats going on in your city right now. Mayor City Beach has many years of experience, was stormed prep. So we were ready in pcb. Rain came to about five inches. We experienced minimal wind damage.

And cnn has covered with the best political team in them its a cnn special event, that Vice President ial debate tuesday at nine On Cnn were following today, new York Mayor Eric Adams will be arraigned next hour on federal corruption charges, just blocks from the very office. He is Accused Of abusing im joined by cnns Gloria Pazmino at the Courthouse And Elise adamson, shes a legal commentator and former federal prosecutor. Let me begin with you. Gloria adams remains defiant. He says he will not step down even as he goes to the Courthouse Today for his Mug Shot for been indicted thats right. Pam and the mayor is now sitting inside that courtroom. My colleague, Kara Scannell is in there ching it all play out. The mayor is going to be arraigned any minute now. And as you said, he will be processed through the federal system. They will take his Mug Shot. He will be told of what the charges are, and i just want to take a moment to really think and taken the enormity of whats happening right now, right . This has never happened and in the cities modern history, weve never had as sitting mayor arraigned on criminal charges. Never mind the charges that hes being Accused Of, right . Correct. Corruption. Bribery, soliciting donations from foreign nationals and defrauding the Citys Taxpayer funded matching Funds System some a system that is set up so that politicians dont feel the need to raise thousands and thousands of dollars from compromised donors in order to finance them. Your campaign, federal prosecutors say that thats exactly what adams did. That he took that money and then he traded in for favors for these donors. Now we know that the mayor is currently inside the courtroom. He has ceded besides his beside his lawyer, alex spiro, and hes staring straight ahead, taking in the bench, this is what my Colleague Kara is describing. He appears to be looking in the direction of the jury box, which right now is filled in by The Press there was no jury thats been seated yet, of course and hes also looking at the sketch artist, artists. Theyre going to give us the only images that we are going to have from this proceeding. Federal court, no cameras allowed inside. So just describing talking about the enormity and the significance of this moment, because even. Though the mayor has said that hes going to fight these charges. And as you said, he has been defiant. He has declared his innocence. He has said that he is going to put up a case and lay out his case to New Yorkers there is a lot of pressure thats coming down on the mayor. His administration shan and the people who are trying to get ready for it because we need to go to the governor of georgia right now on helene should you are in that path or certainly on the right side or the dirty side of that storm that was a very hard hit. The rest of the state on the West Side or left side of the storm. Even though they were not unscathed. They werent taking the brunt that a lot of the folks did, which a high winds, even though weve had a lot of flooding, Metro Atlanta and other places around the around the state, but we call it a little bit of a break for some parts of the state in that regard early this morning, we had wind gusts over 90 miles an hour that were measured in South Georgia, a cat two hurricane actually 100 mile an Hour Wind gusts were measured in our majority ordered in Bacon County at this time, this has been a deadly storm. Weve had 11 confirmed fatalities. I would ask all Georgians Light to kemp families doing to keep these folks in these communities in your thoughts and prayers . We know that one of those was a first responder when we ask people to stay off the roads and be patient, is because we are trying to get the people. It is a very dangerous environment. And one of our finest has lost his life trying to save others were also trying to get the multiple structures right now that we know have individuals inside that were unable to communicate with. Will have to literally cut our way into situations like this. A good example is the maryland Search And Rescue team whos here with us. I want to thank them for that in valdosta, have identified 115 structures that are heavily damaged that we know there are multiple people trapped inside again, we just want to urge people, especially in those areas to be patient. We have a lot of people call on us because they may have a tree across the road and their neighborhood maybe maybe maybe blocked. But our priority is getting to medical emergencies and facilities like hospitals, nursing homes, and others that need critical help. And dont have Power Georgia Dots Report and 152 Road Closures across the state and at least two interstate closures currently i 16 and lawrence county. And then i 20 just outside of Augusta And Mcduffy county we have 1,300 Traffic Signals that are out crews are actively assessing the damage in working to restore Restore Access where its safe and certainly Commissioner Mcmurray can answer any other questions, but they are still assessing at this point. So we know well get more information later in the day. We are deploying generators, especially in the Valdosta Area to help Power Traffic signals from dots perspective, some of the North West Georgia crews that the Damage Wasnt quite as bad on the roads there now shifting to South Georgia to help our hardest Hit Areas we are in pretty good shape on bridges around the state, which is good and our port while it has limited operations, it is, it is operational and has been the entire storm one thing to note up in northeast Georgia And Reitman county theres going to be a Water Release out of Lake Rayburn because of the flooding thats happening. We are evacuating folks downstream from that, so theyre not cut off from the rest of the community. If they dont leave now, theyre going to be stuck there for at least a day or multiple hours and director stallings can give you more information on that, but just be aware that theres going to be awarded release it, like rayburn. Weve had some 911 disruptions, as you can imagine, theres a lot of 911 facilities, even the state Operations Center here earlier has had issues with power and we know thats the case around the state. Power outages. We have 1 Million customers that are currently or 1 Million meters much more customers, but 1 Million meters that are without power our Utility Companies are working as we speak, they literally it started going in behind the storm as soon as day broke, we remain in constant contact with our Utility Providers in that Regard Georgia Power has roughly 10,000 personnel responding and our amcs have literally thousands that are doing the same and we thank them for that. We have 17 shelters are open across the State Housing 1,100 people a shelter in Coffee County lost its Roof Resources are being deployed to assist them to ensure their safety South Georgia medical center in valdosta, the hospital down there, is without power their Emergency Generator had a tree fall on it, so it knocked out their generator capacity. Where we and Georgia Power both responded with an Emergency Generator and Georgia Power is working hard to get the power back on there weve had a severe agriculture impact that is still being assessed. Commissioner harpers going to speak to that shortly, but we know weve had flattened Poultry Houses and certainly a lot of Row Crop Damage and Nut Tree Damage Search And Rescue operations are teams are currently in the field and will continue to be providing assistance to assistance to the communities that were hit hardest by the storm just to recap resources that we have right now. I mentioned a lot of this yesterday, but we authorize up to 500 Georgia National Guard general wilson to talk a little bit about that here in just a second. Weve deployed 250 of them before Helene Made Landfall earlier today, as you know, authorize a further 1,000 guardsmen and weve deployed already an additional 250 of those and so we have 500 i feel as we speak and will call the rest as needed and as requested they have 20 mobile cut teams, eight heavy equipment teams, and were also moving pods around for Supply Distribution Department of public safety, troopers and officers remain available currently right now, were having a hard time getting to places, so we got to get our Chainsaw Cut teams to continue working, to free up roads, but we will have those resources moving as soon as that safely to do so were moving Troop Deployments from Northwest Georgia again to south once more, roads are clear, were currently assessing by air. It took a little while to get the choppers up and drones up because of the because of the wins and then also a low ceiling. This morning. So well continue to get more information in regards to that well, that i will turn it over to general wilson more here from Commissioner Harper and then when you take your questions, sir, thank you very much water. A lot of hard work happening across the across the state at the local state and the federal level. As the governor stated. Currently we have about 500 soldiers and airmen across the state that are providing response after the hurricane. Some of the missions that were currently doing include route into Debris Clearance teams, and were doing that in an effort to try to get the the path ways cleared so that we can get the power turned back on as quickly as possible. And were doing that with lots of engineers have got high water vehicles theyre providing some your job, giving us the latest update on the impacts of helene. You heard governor kemp, theyre talking about the ongoing Ripple Effect from helene saying 150 people people continue to be trapped in their homes. In this hour in Southern Georgia he said that theyre having to Rescue Crews are having to literally cut their way in to some of these homes to rescue, these are collapsed homes in some cases, its a very dire situation there, more than 1 Million people oh, without power there in the State Youve seen how widespread the storm has been impacting florida, georgia, North Carolina, tennessee, just to name a few, and it continues to Recap Look at this hour.
