Georgia Governor Brian Kemp revealed in a news conference on Monday that the death toll in the state has tragically risen to 25 people as a result of the destructive Hurricane Helene. The governor expressed the severity of the situation by stating, 'This storm literally spared no one.'
Governor Kemp personally conducted an aerial survey over affected areas in Georgia and described the damage as 'unprecedented,' noting that the level of destruction seen so far inland was remarkable. He likened the impact to that of a massive tornado, stating, 'It looks like a 250-mile wide tornado has hit.'
