VALDOSTA, Ga. – Residents across south Georgia are preparing for Hurricane Helene, which is expected to bring strong wind gusts and heavy rain later this evening. Emergency management officials from Valdosta to Atlanta are monitoring the situation closely as communities brace for the storm’s arrival.

Rainfall has subsided for now in the Valdosta area, but meteorologists predict high winds will hit the area later tonight, potentially toppling trees and power lines. Kim Loeffler, reporting live from Valdosta, said the region has experienced light rain on and off throughout the morning, but officials warn the most significant impact is yet to come.

This will be the third storm to strike Valdosta in just over a year. In August, Hurricane Dalia, a Category 2 storm, left 90% of Lowndes County without power for days. More recently, Tropical Storm Debby caused additional outages and damage in the area.
