Hurricane Helene reminded thousands of Augusta-area residents that even when you need help, there always is someone who needs help more. While the city of Grovetown presses forward with clearing and repairing storm damage, its police department is donating two of its vehicles to a tiny North Carolina town crippled by flood damage.

Heavy rain fell across parts of western North Carlina on Thursday for the first time since the devastating flooding event from Hurricane Helene and many continue to rebuild their homes.

Phil Miles, 76, a regular Muni golfer who before Helene played weekly, was back at the course for the first time Nov. 7. He was out of town when the storm reached WNC, and said even from afar, watching the devastation was “heartbreaking.”
