It’s not every day Atlanta residents see boats on their streets with authorities doing swift water rescues, the city’s mayor told CNN’s John Berman on Friday morning.
But that’s the reality Tropical Storm Helene has delivered to parts of Georgia’s capital city: inundating the ground, uprooting trees and downing power lines, including at the mayor’s own home, Andre Dickens said. “We’re telling people to stay in the house, stay safe, and let us make sure that the emergency vehicles can get what they need to get to deal with these emergencies,” the mayor said.
