Georgia is still recovering from the impact six months on and the famed Masters course will look different as a result
Hurricane Helene made landfall in the early hours of Friday 27 September, in Big Bend, Florida. Meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center had been watching it building for a week, as it moved away from Nicaragua, up past Grand Cayman, Cancún, and Cuba, and the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, had declared a state of emergency on the Tuesday afternoon.
“The current forecast for Hurricane Helene suggests this storm will impact every part of our state,” Kemp said, but in Augusta, over in the east of the state, people felt safe, they hadn’t had a hurricane here in almost 100 years, and this one was forecast to pass it by.
