Hurricane Helene has done a ton of damage after making landfall, with a reported 22 people dead to go along with floods, debris and electric outages.
There’s also a lot of buzz about what may or may not have happened at Augusta National.
The golf club that hosts the Masters every year is in the Georgia town that got hit hard, with scenes of damage shared on social media. But as for talk of the trees downed at the course? We don’t have any absolute confirmation here, only rumor and speculation.
Once we get more information, we’ll update this, but here’s what’s being talked about (again, these are just unconfirmed rumors):

Here’s the awful scene from the town:
If this is 100+ miles inland from the coast… And Augusta National, there has to be dozens or hundreds of trees down there. https://t.co/7RLjVomHS5

There are several trees down on Parham Rd. in Grovetown, GA (near Augusta) from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Helene.
Also heard from several people that trees have fallen on their homes and cars.

Light is showing in Augusta. Winds still blowing. This is just some of the damage at my house. Our trees and our neighbors trees are in our yard. Our Oak tree is gone. My deceased grandmother's rose bush is destroyed. But we're all safe 🙏 #Helene @SCweather_wx @ryanhallyall pic.twitter.com/CGgmy3yRm4

Thinking of everyone there and anyone else who was affected by the storm.
