Several north Georgia counties are getting federal aid to repair infrastructure and clean up damage from Hurricane Zeta in October. The storm blew over trees in metro Atlanta and areas to the north, causing widespread power outages and other damage.
Two people died in Buford and one person died in Acworth when trees fell onto their homes on the morning of Oct. 29. President Donald Trump approved assistance to governments in 21 counties on Tuesday. The Georgia Emergency Management Agency says state and local governments documented more than $22 million in damage. Federal assistance will pay up to 75% of the cost of removing debris and repairing roads, bridges and electrical systems
