Days after Hurricane Helene, powerless mess remains in US Southeast

Quick Summary:

Helene was a tree and power pole wrecking ball as it blew inland across Georgia, South Carolina and into North Carolina on Friday.

It's muggy, pitch black at night and sometimes dangerous with chainsaws buzzing, tensioned power lines ready to snap and carbon monoxide silently suffocating people who don't use generators properly.

She is converting power from the alternator in her car to keep just enough juice for her refrigerator so she can keep some food.Brown is far from alone.
