CBS News recently reported that Hurricane Helene has claimed the lives of at least 135 people. Of all the states that were impacted by the storm, the Carolinas are said to have experienced the worst of the hurricane’s damage, as over 80 civilians have been found dead there, according to officials.

The news outlet shared the devastating story of a mother, her son, and her parents stranded on a house’s rooftop in Ashville, North Carolina. Helpless bereaved mom Megan Drye watched her 7-year-old son, Micah, and her parents get swept away by a flood after the home collapsed into the water.

While Megan was rescued, little Micah and his grandparents met a different, very unfortunate fate. Providing more clarity on the tragedy, Megan’s sister, Jessica Drye Turner, shared updates on Facebook.

In the section of her post that she clarified was made on September 30, Jessica began by divulging the emotional turmoil she still finds herself in as she reconciles the fact that her parents and nephew are gone.

However, she noted, “I feel a bit guilty bc 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.”

Aside from reflecting on her, Megan’s, and Heather’s grief and emotions, Jessica also shared a detailed account of the moment her sister, nephew, and parents were in the eye of the storm fearing for their lives.

In the message, it was revealed that Megan, who was lodged between two trailers after being swept away by the current, ended up waiting three hours until she was rescued.

Like Jessica, a friend of Heather’s named Amanda Sprouse Simpkins also shared a post about the sad news on her Facebook account.

In her message, Amanda urged, “Please pray for Megan, Jessica Drye Turner, and Heather and the rest of the family. The loss Megan has endured is profound. She is left with nothing. If you feel led please give. If you can’t, please pray.”

Amanda’s plea to the public to donate what they can to help refers to the GoFundMe page Heather organized for her sister.

“For Megan Drye, our miracle, who has lived a mother’s worst nightmare. She has survived the unimaginable and lost absolutely everything. The support of others will carry her and encourage her to keep taking one breath, one step, and one day at a time,” reads a portion of the page’s description.

Adding another heartbreaking note to the already devastating ordeal is the fact that Heather used the last photo Micah’s grandmother took of the adorable little boy.

The image shows Micah, dressed in a Jurassic World T-shirt, smiling for the camera as his grandmother is seen taking the photo in the reflection of the door Micah stood in front of.
