Twin babies, who died alongside their mom, believed to be youngest Hurricane Helene victims

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.

Before being brought back to life, the woman is dead for 27 minutes. Her message is amazing.

This story of Tina and Madie Johnson is truly inspiring, both for the miraculous events Tina experienced and for the deep, lasting faith it instilled in those around her. Surviving a heart attack and being revived after 27 minutes is already remarkable, but Tina’s message of “It’s real,” as she pointed to heaven, has resonated with people worldwide. For her niece Madie, this simple, powerful message was profound enough to become a permanent reminder—a tattoo she proudly wears as a tribute to her aunt’s faith and resilience.

Faith stories like Tina’s often strike a chord because they touch on universal themes of hope, resilience, and belief in something beyond ourselves. Such experiences can reinforce faith for believers and inspire hope, even for those who may struggle with doubt. Tina’s journey and her message remind us that faith and courage are potent sources of inner strength, particularly in the face of life-altering challenges.

Through sharing Tina’s story, Madie has helped spread a message of love, resilience, and hope, demonstrating how even in the face of death, Tina’s belief carried her—and her family—forward. In difficult times, stories like these serve as beacons, offering comfort, strength, and a reminder of the profound impact faith can have on our lives.
