Last September’s Hurricane Helene took 250 lives across the Southeastern United States. Though much of Northeast Georgia was spared, residents of Southeast Georgia were directly in Helene’s path. According to some reports, Georgia’s major economic engine—agriculture—was severely impacted by the storm, losing as much as $5.5 billion.
Dr. Pam Knox is an agricultural climatologist at the University of Georgia Extension. She sat down with WUGA’s Emma Auer to review what researchers have discovered about Helene’s impact as the one-year anniversary passes.
