As of Tuesday, more than 230 individuals across six different states have tragically lost their lives due to Hurricane Helene, with hundreds still unaccounted for.
Among those who perished are twin brothers Khyzier and Khazmir Williams, who are thought to be the youngest victims of the hurricane. The five-week-old twins, along with their mother Kobe Williams, died when a tree fell onto their mobile home in Thomson, Georgia.
Nobody was really taking the storm seriously,” said Mary Jones, the boys’ grandmother and Kobe Williams’ mother, during an interview with Today.com. “But then it hit, and the wind was so loud. When the power went out, Kobe got really frightened. She was so worried about the babies.”
Jones and her daughter spent the entire night listening to the storm as it tore through the outside of their home. Around 5:15 a.m., Jones fed Khyzier to let her daughter get some rest, though Kobe couldn’t sleep because of how terrified she was.
Jones eventually dozed off, while her daughter stayed awake. Less than an hour later, Jones was startled awake by a “strange shushing” sound, quickly followed by an eerie stillness.
When she went to investigate, she discovered that a tree had come crashing through her daughter’s room.
“I started shouting, ‘Kobe! Please answer me! Say something!’ It was so dark, and all I could see were the tree branches.”

She was cradling the babies in her arms when the tree struck her head. She was trying to shield them,” recalled Markeya Jones, her granddaughter.
Hurricane Helene has become the deadliest hurricane to strike the mainland United States since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
As the cleanup efforts continue, many in the southeastern region are preparing for what could be another record-setting storm, as Hurricane Milton heads toward the Tampa Bay area.
I am at a loss for words regarding the sheer level of destruction that Hurricane Helene has left behind. It breaks my heart to see how many families and livelihoods were shattered in a matter of moments.
Travis Kelce annoyes Taylor Swift. The singer was left Uncomfortable, does she still love him?
Travis Kelce, a star for the Kansas City Chiefs, was allegedly making his girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, feel uncomfortable at a recent charity event hosted by Patrick Mahomes.
Travis Kelce yelled “Viva Las Vegas” when it was his turn at the mic, which made Swift cringe because he is known for being loud and likes to party.Jackie Gonzalez, an attendee, took a picture of the incident, which showed a moment of conflict between the famous pair, who began dating in August 2023. Gonzalez noticed that Swift made a telling move when she looked at Brittany Mahomes, shook her head, and said, “That again…” in a quiet voice to show her anger. “I am not able to do it.”Even though there was an awkward moment, the evening showed how much the couple loves each other. According to witnesses, Kelce was very affectionate with Swift. He kissed her and grabbed her playfully, which Swift laughed off. His physical displays of love made her feel better, even when fans were around.This behavior is similar to Kelce’s usual way of life, which almost put his college football career at risk before his brother, Jason Kelce, helped him calm down. Travis is in his mid-30s now, but he doesn’t seem to be changing how crazy he is.
