Hurricane Helene swept through the southern part of the country last week, leaving behind damaged communities that are now in rebuild mode. One of those was Augusta, Georgia, and the home of the Masters was not spared.

While there have been a few posts floating around social media showing the damage done to the historic venue, this drone footage gives a detailed look at Magnolia Lane after Helene left the area.
