U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina addressed the severe impact of Tropical Storm Helene on the state.

"Tropical Storm Helene is having a devastating impact on South Carolina. I spoke with Duke Energy leadership yesterday," said Graham.

"They seem well prepared to act and restore power promptly. The scope of damage from the storm has been wide and deep. People are not only without power, but there is heavy flooding, homes have been destroyed and lives have been lost and upended," he added.

Graham emphasized that South Carolina’s entire congressional delegation will be collaborating with Governor McMaster and his team to assist with federal disaster relief efforts.

"Be smart and be safe," concluded Graham.
