RI Red Cross Volunteers Ready To Assist With Hurricane Helene Relief

Volunteers from the Red Cross of Rhode Island have deployed to Florida to assist with Hurricane Helene relief.

The team headed south pre-landfall to assist with evacuation shelters and feeding stations for residents in the path of the storm.

Helene is no longer a hurricane, but even as a tropical storm it's still packing a punch as it moves across Georgia.

The storm has maximum sustained winds of 70 miles per hour.

Tornadoes could be a possibility this morning in eastern Georgia, the Carolinas and southern Virginia.

Rhode Islanders can help in the hurricane recovery efforts by making a donation through RedCross.org.
