Governor Brian Kemp says the number of deaths from Hurricane Helene in Georgia is now 33, many from trees that fell on homes.

Georgia Power says power has been restored to 90% of customers who lost it during Helene.  But much work remains to be done.

Some Atlanta community groups are calling for the immediate shut-down of a chlorine production plant that caught fire in Conyers.
