Heartbreaking Devastation...the scale of damage in Augusta/Central Savannah River Area & western Midlands is truly unprecedented. #Helene will be one of our area's most infamous storms, with over 20 fatalities and many communities left unrecognizable due to 100+ mph wind gusts.

Significant rain has already fallen and more is on the way as Helene moves inland. Flash Flood Warnings in effect for many CSRA counties. Saturated soils + gusts 50-60 mph = power outages from trees coming down. Also, tornadoes possible through early Friday. Stay weather aware!

46 mph at 5:53 PM was the top gust in Augusta today💨
The second round was a battle of wills and a test of temperaments. Still, three leaders rose to the top. #themasters
