The Nation - News from Nov. 24, 1985

Residents of Florida’s Wakulla, Jefferson and Taylor counties were the last of 100,000 evacuees to return after Hurricane Kate, but thousands of homes in Florida and Georgia remained without power or water. Tallahassee lifted its curfew, but a state of emergency remained in effect in 19 counties where officials pleaded for donations of food, blankets and other relief supplies. As the storm diminished and moved into the Atlantic, gale warnings for the Carolinas and Virginia were called off.
