At least 88 dead in storm; Trump expected to visit hard-hit Georgia city


Trump to visit Georgia today

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump will visit hard-hit Valdosta, Georgia, today, his campaign said.

The former president will be briefed on the damage in the state, where at least 17 people have died in the storm. He will also assist with relief and deliver remarks, the campaign said.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp will be touring storm damage in Augusta and won’t be present at Trump’s stop, according to an aide for Kemp.

Both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have indicated they plan to travel to impacted areas once they can do so without disrupting emergency operations, according to White House officials.

More rain still possible across parts of Central Appalachians

The leftovers of once-Hurricane Helene combined with a mild rain front could dump additional rain on parts of Central Appalachians, federal forecasters said.

Between 1 to 2 inches of rain, with up to 5 inches in some areas, could fall from West Virginia into northwest Virginia and far western Maryland, according to the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center.

“There’s moisture on the east side of [the front] being funneled into the area, but also a localized feature causing a focus of rain,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Jeremy Geiger of the Baltimore/Washington office in Sterling, Virginia.

The rain is expected to move out of the already-saturated area after Tuesday or Wednesday.
