35+ min ago (300+ words) DOUGLAS, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) " Georgia homeowners will soon be able to open catastrophe savings accounts to help cover disaster-related expenses as insurance deductibles keep rising. House Bill 511 creates accounts similar to health savings accounts but designed for business or home disaster expenses. Money deposited into the accounts is tax-deductible, grows tax-free at the state level, and can be used for deductibles or repairs after a governor-declared disaster. The program addresses growing costs from hurricanes, floods and tornadoes affecting Georgia homeowners. Some communities are still recovering from recent disasters. "Some of our homes that were not insured and we found out some of our homes were underinsured. We are continuing to recover at a snails pace," said Mayor Tony Paulk. A Savannah woman faces a long road to recovery after a stranger attacked her with acid that ate through her clothes…...

11+ hour, 53+ min ago (1019+ words) Many scientists feared a now-scuttled plan to mine next to the Okefenokee Swamp would alter the water levels of the refuge. The mining company itself disputed those claims, arguing the water it planned to pump from the underlying aquifer would have a negligible impact on the swamp. By releasing preliminary permits for the mine in early 2023, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division seemed to agree. Now, a new study published last week raises questions about the company and the agency's conclusions, and the impact any future mining proposals could have on the pristine wetland. University of Georgia researchers have found that the Okefenokee is more closely tied to the vast aquifer beneath it, suggesting changes in or around the swamp could affect groundwater supplies relied on by millions of people. The findings were published Dec. 9 in the peer-reviewed scientific journal "Environmental…...

The demand was so high that there was a waiting list for productions to get into one. But nearly four years, two union strikes and more than 1 million square feet of new soundstage space added to Georgia later, roughly three-quarters of Georgia's stages are empty, Harber estimates. Not only is production down, but there is a clear oversupply of space....
