The storm has left tens of thousands of residents without power, affecting homes, businesses, and essential services. Food spoilage is a significant concern, with many losing perishable items due to the extended outage. Downed power lines and debris pose safety hazards, and restoration delays could exacerbate the situation. Vulnerable populations, such as those relying on medical equipment, are particularly at risk. The Hartwell Recreation Center is providing food and shelter for those in need.
