The storm presents an unprecedented challenge for Gov. Brian Kemp and his administration, with a 400-mile wind field that the governor said makes it a truly “statewide event.”

From the Atlanta Journal Constitution Politics News:

Gov. Brian Kemp briefs the media Thursday at the Georgia Emergency Management Agency to update the public on the states preparations for Helene, which struck the state Friday as a Category 2 hurricane before it was downgraded to a tropical storm. It killed at least 11 Georgians before leaving the state later in the day. (Miguel Martinez / AJC)
