Numerous people have perished in the wake of Hurricane Helene, including a little child and his grandparents. The aunt of the deceased youngster wrote a long article that she uploaded online that described what transpired.
According to a recent CBS News report, at least 135 individuals have lost their lives as a result of Hurricane Helene. According to officials, the Carolinas reportedly suffered the worst damage from the hurricane out of all the states affected, with over 80 civilian deaths discovered there.
The horrifying account of a mother, her son, and her parents becoming stranded on a house rooftop in Ashville, North Carolina, was published by the news outlet. The house crumbled into the river, leaving Megan Drye, a helpless widowed mother, to watch her 7-year-old son Micah and her parents being carried away by a flood.
Little Micah and his grandparents had a horrible, very sad fate, while Megan was saved. Jessica Drye Turner, Megan’s sister, provided additional details about the tragedy by posting updates on Facebook.
Jessica started out by sharing the emotional anguish she’s still experiencing as she comes to terms with the loss of her parents and nephew in the section of her post that she indicated was made on September 30.
However, she noted, “I feel a bit guilty because I’m so at peace with things. We will see them again one day and there’s nothing that could entice them to come back after being with Jesus.”
After Jessica finished making revelations about spirituality and her belief that her parents no longer feel the same level of panic, fear, and desperation as they did in their last moments, she acknowledged her sister’s grief. “I’m sick that Megan has to live with those images but they are no longer here […] It will be a long road for Megan,” expressed Jessica.
She then mentioned the tough time that also lies ahead for her and their other sister, Heather Kephart. Transitioning the focus of the message to her deceased nephew, Jessica disclosed, “They just found Micah’s body. He was found 1/4 of a mile past where they found Megan […] He was such a perfect little boy. He wanted to be a superhero. And now he is.”
The bereaved aunt then revealed, “The last thing [Micah] yelled before he was taken was, ‘Jesus! Please help me!’” Ending this update, Jessica penned, “And I still loudly call on His name! New grief and strong faith. New motto.”
In addition to discussing her own pain and feelings, as well as those of Megan and Heather, Jessica gave a thorough description of the time her parents, sister, and nephew were in the center of the storm and were afraid for their lives.
