Most of the state can expect damaging winds and rainfall that could cause flooding starting Thursday night. Making matters worse, a forecast calling for heavy rain and flash flooding unrelated to Tropical Storm Helene is expected in most of west, central and north Georgia by Wednesday night.

WHEELER COUNTY, Ga. (AP) - Two people have died after a possible tornado struck a mobile home in south Georgia on Thursday night, Wheeler County Sheriff Randy Rigdon told WMAZ-TV. The damage was reported as heavy thunderstorms from Hurricane Helene raked much of the state. Wheeler County is about 70 miles (113 kilometers) southeast of Macon.

Hurricane Helene isn’t only expected to damage homes and vehicles; it has already resulted in at least 15 deaths and one injury, with more fatalities and injuries anticipated.

South Carolina will feel impacts from Hurricane Helene through Friday morning as the storm makes landfall in Florida and moves north through Georgia. Heavy rain, strong gusty wind, flooding, and a tornado risk are the areas of concern across the Lowcountry over the next several hours.

The National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning for parts of Franklin County. The warning is set to expire at 11p.m., areas impacted include: Rocky Mount, Boones Mill, Sydnorsville, Ferrum,
