BROADCAST SCRIPT
Hurricane Helene may have passed, but the damage it left behind is still causing trouble.
I’m at Rockyford Road, where cross drains were destroyed by the overwhelming force of water from Helene.
I’m looking into the county’s plan to fix it and how it’s impacting neighbors in this area.
Areas like Coolidge in Thomas County saw flooding and excess water caused severe damage.
that increase in water caused two 60-inch pipes to become overwhelmed by the 11 inches of rain that fell during Helene.
That left Rockyford Road washed out.
For neighbors like John Paulson, a retired firefighter who lives near the road, this was more than just an inconvenience—it’s a major disruption.
