We extend our most heartfelt condolences to Micah’s mom, aunts, and other family members who are mourning such a significant loss.
Hurricane Helene’s aftermath continues to devastate various states across the US, despite the locations having done what they could do to combat the worst of the storm’s effects. One such safety tactic involved the closure of 15 schools in Georgia, which we reported on September 26.
The following school districts had already closed earlier in the week of September 23: Catoosa County Public Schools (which also stipulated that there would be no evening activities), Chickamauga City Schools, Cohutta Arrows Kingdom Academy, Dade Co. Schools, and Dalton Public Schools.
In addition to these institutions, Gordon County Schools, Learning Tree Elementary School, Walker Co. Schools (which suspended evening activities), Whitfield Co. Schools, Whitfield County Schools, all branches of Northwest GA Regional Libraries, and Oakwood Christian Academy, had also closed already.
Schools that were set to close on September 26 and September 27, were Dalton State, which dismissed its students at 12:30 pm, GA Northwestern Technical College – All Campuses (closed at 3:00 pm), and Union Co. Schools.
In addition to the closing of the school districts, the governor of the state, Brian Kemp, had declared a State of Emergency for all of Georgia’s 159 counties. According to News Channel 9, at that time, Georgia was the only state that had closed schools.
The news outlet pledged to keep civilians updated on whether there would be any school closings in Tennessee, another state that was set to be affected by the hurricane.

However, according to an X post shared by Brooks Garner, most schools across Florida had also decided to suspend classes on September 26, as Hurricane Helene was set to make landfall in Tallahassee and Apalachee Bay as soon as that same evening.
“This will cause widespread severe damage with weeks-long power outages in some areas […] In Central Florida and Orlando, tropical storm conditions will develop this afternoon and evening with winds of 40–60 mph in gusts and tornadoes,” read part of his statement.

With Florida’s capital city having braced for the impact of such a major hurricane that the area had not faced in over a century, civilians were urged to prepare for the worst.
BBC reported that Hurricane Helene, which was initially listed as a category 1 storm, would intensify rapidly into a category 4 hurricane by the time it reached Florida. Official forecasts had deemed the impacts as “catastrophic,” “life-threatening,” and “unsurvivable.”
