As of midday Thursday, health care facilities along the Georgia coast were preparing to receive their patients who were returning from evacuations triggered by Hurricane Dorian.

The storm did not hit Georgia as hard as was feared last week, but it brushed the state’s coast, knocking out power to thousands, before heading north to pound the South Carolina coast.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp lifted the mandatory evacuation order Thursday morning for anyone east of I-95 in Bryan, Camden, Chatham, Glynn, Liberty and McIntosh counties.
