More than 200,000 residents in Augusta, Georgia, have been without power after Hurricane Helene rolled through the area, leading to speculation that Augusta National Golf Club, the home of the Masters, could have suffered significant damage in the process.

The Category 4 storm made landfall Thursday night along Florida’s Big Bend coast. Helene brought tropical storm-force wind to the Augusta area (30-40 mph winds with 65 mph gusts).

A video on X showed what appeared to be Rae’s Creek flowing at a high level. The creek flows close to holes No. 11 and 12 at Augusta National.
