As it works to restore power to the Georgians impacted by Tropical Storm Helene, Georgia Power said the company had so far gotten the lights back on for about 690,000 customers.

State leaders are touring storm damage across the state left behind by Hurricane Helene earlier this week. Across the Southeast, officials have confirmed that at least 64 people have died. Of those, at least 17 are Georgians,

Hurricane Helene is forecast to quickly intensify as it emerges into the Gulf of Mexico, becoming a major hurricane before landfall late Thursday along Florida's Big Bend region, not far from Apalachicola. In anticipation of the storm's impacts, Georgia's governor issued a State of Emergency to free up resources.

Helene prompted hurricane and flash flood warnings extending far beyond the coast up into northern Georgia and western North Carolina.

In the Georgia Power Storm Center, they are coordinating the many crews and sending them to places like a Brookhaven Street, where a tree fell on wires that then snapped this pole in half.

While it has weakened to Tropical Storm Helene, hundreds of thousands of Georgians have been left with no electricity. Follow power outages here.
