The pace of recovery from Hurricane Helene in Georgia is only beginning to match the human need in hard-hit communities like Valdosta and Augusta.

Former president and now candidate Donald Trump visited Valdosta Monday to see the damage done by Hurricane Helene and talk about relief efforts.

Workers at the Port of Savannah and the Port of Brunswick went on strike Tuesday morning, as part of a larger walkout across the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico.

Tuesday is former President Jimmy Carter's 100th birthday.
