SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) - According to Georgia Power, Hurricane Helene is the most destructive hurricane in the company's history. Crews are steadily working to turn your lights back on right now. WSAV saw linemen in action on Tuesday, working on Eisenhower Drive to restore power there. Across the state, millions of people are still in their homes with no air conditioning and no way of cooking a meal or keeping food cold. That's why 11,000 Georgia Power linemen have been working day and night to restore power, in addition to several other companies that serve the region. On Georgia Power's social media pages, one lineman said, "This is probably the worst storm I've been on damage wise. Just the amount of trees that have fallen and the poles that are broken."
